Ultrasonography of the Adult Male Urinary Tract for Urinary Functional Testing
Published on: August 14, 2019
Abstract:
In brief Most injuries to the penis and scrotum in sports result from direct blows and require prompt evaluation. Bicycler's penis is a paresthesia and numbness in the perineum and phallus that resolve spontaneously. A direct blow to the scrotum usually causes a testicular contusion that responds to elevation of the scrotum and bed rest. Athletes wear athletic supporters and plastic cups for scrotal protection. Sexually transmitted diseases-nongonococcal urethritis, condyloma acuminatum, and herpes progenitalis-are common urologic problems in athletes. Patients should use condoms or abstain from sexual activity until the condition resolves.
