The objective of this study is to identify the characteristic and etiologies of CSP. Men presenting for management of CSP completed a standardized questionnaire and underwent a complete physical examination. From Feb 2014 to Sep 2015, a total of 131 men (mean age 43) with CSP were studied. The CSP was of long duration (mean of\n                    <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                      <mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">4.7<\/mml:mn>\n                      <mml:mo>\u00b1<\/mml:mo>\n                      <mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">5.95<\/mml:mn>\n                    <\/mml:math>\n                    years) and dramatically affected men\u2019s lives, with adverse effects on normal activities (71.%), ability to work (51.90%), and sexual functioning (61.8%). 50.4% felt depressed on most days, and 67.17% felt either unhappy or terrible with their present condition. Physical examination revealed that the epididymis was the most common tender area found in 70\/131 men (53.43%), though a musculoskeletal source for the pain was found in 9.9%. Neuropathic changes were found in 30%. For close to half of the men (43.5%) we were unable to identify any potential cause for the CSP. This study characterizes the dramatic impact that CSP has on the lives of men, while providing an understanding of the common etiologies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/3829168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,2]],"date-time":"2017-03-02T16:00:41Z","timestamp":1488470441000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Characteristics and Etiologies of Chronic Scrotal Pain: A Common but Poorly Understood Condition"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"given":"Aosama","family":"Aljumaily","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Murray Koffler Urologic Wellness Centre, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hind","family":"Al-Khazraji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allan","family":"Gordon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wasser Pain Management Centre, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6966-9114","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Keith A.","family":"Jarvi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Murray Koffler Urologic Wellness Centre, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.20543"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000253415"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2005.01.003"},{"issue":"5","key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"936","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)40143-1","volume":"143","year":"1990","journal-title":"Journal of Urology"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2009.08.020"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1464-410X.2003.04094.x"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.288.5472.1765"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0022-5347(01)62139-6"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0022-5347(05)65181-6"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1525-1497.1997.00076.x"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/meta.2000.8625"},{"issue":"6","key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1571","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)38169-7","volume":"146","year":"1991","journal-title":"Journal of Urology"},{"issue":"4","key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"430","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2003.11.004","volume":"45","year":"2004","journal-title":"European Urology"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02768219"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3949\/ccjm.57.8.697"}],"container-title":["Pain Research and Management"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/prm\/2017\/3829168.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/prm\/2017\/3829168.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/prm\/2017\/3829168.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,19]],"date-time":"2019-09-19T03:44:07Z","timestamp":1568864647000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/prm\/2017\/3829168\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":15,"alternative-id":["3829168","3829168"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/3829168","relation":{},"ISSN":["1203-6765","1918-1523"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1203-6765","type":"print"},{"value":"1918-1523","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
