| Abstract: | Background: The aim of the study is to determine the clinical profile of the patients presenting with acute scrotum. Acute scrotum is an emergency condition affecting both children and adults requiring conservative or surgical management. Methods: This study was carried out in department of General Surgery, Government Medical College, Jammu. A total of 50 cases with acute scrotum were included in the study irrespective of age. Patients with chronic scrotal pain and swelling were excluded from the study. Results: Acute epididymo-orchitis(28%) was most common cause of acute scrotal swelling followed by Fournier’s gangrene(18%). 18% of the patients presented with history of trauma. Majority of cases presented in the age group of 21-40 years. Most of the cases with testicular torsion were below the age of 20 years. Almost all the patients presented with pain while 94% of the patients presented with scrotal swelling. Urinary symptoms were usually seen in epididymo-orchitis and Fournier’s gangrene. Conclusion: Acute scrotum require immediate evaluation and treatment. The early diagnosis is important to avoid testicular loss. Usg color doppler is employed as investigation of choice to the final diagnosis. Majority of cases of epididymoorchitis can be managed conservatively while early surgical intervention is needed in cases of torsion testes, Fournier’s gangrene , scrotal abscess, testicular abscess and traumatic acute scrotum |
