Chronic orchialgie (OA) appears to be an increasing problem in urological practice. It represents a heterogeneous group of patients

in whom the etiology of pain differs. The aim of the diagnostic process is to identify an unequivocal cause of the pain which may be

subsequently influenced by an appropriate therapeutic treatment. When any possible causes of specific diseases including cancer are

excluded we have to restrain the pain medically, or by denervation surgery. An early multidisciplinary approach proves to be beneficial

when pain is hardly suggestible.

Keywords: orchialgia, testicular pain, scrotal pain
