AB Acute  scrotal  pain  is  usually  caused  by  testicular  torsion,  epididymitis,  or  torsion  of  the  appendix  testis.Epididymitis  is  often  caused  by  viral  infections;  however,  bacterial  urinary  tract  infections  must  be  evaluated  for  in  young  children  and  sexually  transmitted  disease  in  adolescents.Persistent  scrotal  swelling  and  a  “bag  of  worms”  appearance  indicates  possible  obstruction  from  tumor.Priapism  can  be  divided  into  two  mechanisms:  low-flow  or  ischemic  as  in  sickle  cell  vaso-occlusion  and  high-flow  or  engorgement.
