    Author: Sandella B, Hartmann B, Berkson D, Hong E.
    Journal: Curr Sports Med Rep; 2012; 11(2):92-5. PubMed ID: 22410701.
    Abstract:
    Individuals involved in sports are at risk for sustaining various injuries. In addition to musculoskeletal complaints, male athletes are at risk of incurring testicular injuries. These issues can range from an acute emergency such as testicular torsion to indolent testicular tumors. In contrast, epididymitis can present in stages. Presentation and management of testicular complaints can vary depending on the condition. Physicians who provide medical care to athletes need to be competent in diagnosing and managing testicular injuries.
