One of the most anxiety-provoking problems presenting to an ED is the male with acute genital discomfort. Furthermore, the extensive sensory innervations of the genital area with common final sensory afferent pathways in the male account for the common association of abdominal pain with some acute genital disorders. Approximately 10% of all traumatic conditions presenting to the ED involve the genital system—of that, only 2% involve the genital system exclusively.1 Life-threatening GU conditions, such as Fournier gangrene, remain relatively rare.
