Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The vast majority of adolescent genitourinary problems are treated effectively by a general urologist once the problem is recognized by the primary care or emergency physician. Male adolescents may present with acute scrotal pain, often accompanied by swelling, which constitutes one of the few true urologic emergencies. The first step is to rule out testicular torsion because gonadal salvage depends on rapid restoration of blood flow. Other urologic problems in male and female adolescents are also addressed. |
