Typically, males with testicular pain suffer from epididymitis or some type of testicular torsion, which was not the situation in this case. Compression is also a common cause of pudendal neuralgia, although it was not responsible for this patient's pain, making diagnosis and treatment complex.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Many pain syndromes can be treated with removal of the original stimulus. However, recognizing the factors contributing to pelvic pain and dysfunction in males can be a challenge for the sports medicine professional. A vigilant and unassuming approach to male pelvic pain is warranted, particularly by health care providers in diverse practice settings.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-51.10.06","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,14]],"date-time":"2016-09-14T14:27:19Z","timestamp":1473863239000},"page":"651-657","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Nontraumatic Testicular Pain due to Sacroiliac-Joint Dysfunction: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"James E.","family":"Leone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bridgewater State University, MA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steve","family":"Middleton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"William Woods University, Fulton, MO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2557","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2020060411471175200_i1062-6050-51-8-651-b01","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-43.1.70","article-title":"Choosing a career in athletic training: exploring the perceptions of potential recruits","volume":"43","author":"Mensch","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Athl Train"},{"issue":"5","key":"2020060411471175200_i1062-6050-51-8-651-b02","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"639","DOI":"10.1007\/s00345-011-0698-8","article-title":"Role of US in acute scrotal pain","volume":"29","author":"Liguori","year":"2011","journal-title":"World J Urol"},{"issue":"1","key":"2020060411471175200_i1062-6050-51-8-651-b03","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anuro.2003.11.001","article-title":"Torsion of the spermatic cord and testicular annexes","volume":"38","author":"Mongiat-Artus","year":"2004","journal-title":"Ann Urol (Paris)"},{"issue":"6 pt 2","key":"2020060411471175200_i1062-6050-51-8-651-b04","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2291","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)31660-9","article-title":"Phantom orchalgia","volume":"152","author":"Holland","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"issue":"40","key":"2020060411471175200_i1062-6050-51-8-651-b05","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4447","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v17.i40.4447","article-title":"Chronic proctalgia and chronic pelvic pain syndromes: new etiologic insights and treatment options","volume":"17","author":"Chiarioni","year":"2011","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol"},{"issue":"16","key":"2020060411471175200_i1062-6050-51-8-651-b06","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1690","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp060423","article-title":"Clinical practice.
