Genital Trauma
Symptoms and Signs of Genital Trauma
Symptoms after a direct scrotal blow are usually scrotal pain and swelling. Signs may include scrotal discoloration and a tender, firm scrotal mass that fails to transilluminate, suggesting a hematocele. Scrotal penetration suggests the possibility of testicular involvement. Often the examination is limited by patient discomfort. Penile fractures typically occur during intercourse and result in a cracking sound, immediate pain, marked penile swelling and ecchymosis, and usually a visible deformity. The presence of hematuria suggests the possibility of a concomitant urethral injury. Necrotizing infection manifests with swelling, crepitus, and fever and progresses rapidly to Sepsis and Septic Shock if not managed promptly and aggressively.
