Today the Senate will make history, swearing in a record-breaking 20 female senators -- four Republicans and 16 Democrats -- in office. As the 113th Congress is sworn in today on Capitol Hill, ABC World News anchor Diane Sawyer has an exclusive joint interview with the historic class of female senators.
Pyuria and bacteriuria (white blood cells and bacteria in the urine) in patients with acute scrotum suggests an infectious cause such as epididymitis or orchitis and specific testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia should be done. All people with chronic pain should be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Another cause of non-testicular scrotal pain is an inguinal hernia, which is when part of the intestine protrudes down through the abdominal wall into the scrotum. A varicocele, or abnormally dilated vein in the scrotum, can cause a similar type of dull ache.A dull ache originating from the testicle itself could be due to a benign mass such as a cyst, or more rarely, due to a more serious condition such as testicular cancer.ften, when men present with pain in the scrotum, the pain is not actually originating from the testicles, but rather from the surrounding structures. One such cause is epididymitis; this is inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled group of tubules sitting on top of the testicles.
