- Abstract
Acute genital diseases can occur at any age and are characterized by complaints of various kinds of the external genitalia. Pain, swelling, and redness of the scrotum, adjacent groin region, and immediate surroundings are the leading symptoms, the severity of which may vary. In addition, peritonitic symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and circulatory sensations may be present and are comparable to symptoms of an acute abdomen. The term "acute scrotum" encompasses various clinical entities, where scrotal symptoms are predominant and represent a urological emergency situation. Immediate and comprehensive diagnostics are necessary to ensure timely management in case of necessary surgical intervention.
