Chronic testicular pain although becoming very common in our patient population
poses a challenge to the physician, the patient and his family. The pathogenesis
of chronic orchialgia (CO) is not well understood. The objective of this paper is
to review the current literature on chronic testicular pain and its management
and to propose an algorithm for its treatment. Abstracts, original papers and
review articles were reviewed during a literature search using words such as
testicular pain, CO, and microsurgical anatomy of spermatic cord. Chronic scrotal
content pain (CSP) is a difficult condition to treat and could be idiopathic or
secondary. Conservative therapy is the first line of treatment attempted to allow
the patient to return to his routine activities. When conservative treatment
fails, patients can now turn toward surgical options such as microsurgical
denervation of the spermatic cord (MDSC) which has a success rate published in
the 60-85% range and/or minimally invasive therapies such as microcryoablation of
the spermatic cord, Botox or Amniofix injection. There is an increase in
referrals for CO. The true pathogenesis is still unclear and the road to complete
recovery is unsure for certain patients. This paper proposes an algorithm for the
management of patients suffering with CO.
