Which of the following should be done for an acute onset painful scrotal swelling in 12 years old male?: (A) Doppler stethoscope evaluation, (B) Administer analgesics, (C) Advise bed rest, (D) Administer antibiotics
Answer is A. Ans. is 'a' i.e., Doppler stethoscope evaluation * Acute onset painful scrotal swelling in 12 years old preadolescent male is most probably due to torsion of testis. In suspected cases of torsion of testis or testicular appendage a doppler stethoscope should be used to evaluate blood flow to the testicles (if decreased or absent, suspect testicular torsion and prepare the patient for surgery).
