Chronic scrotal pain may lead to reduced sexual function and interest, while sexual activity may worsen chronic scrotal pain: “double jeopardy”

There is very little data on the true incidence of chronic scrotal pain (CSP): estimates from studies from Switzerland based on a survey of urologists suggested an incidence of 350–400/100,000 cases of CSP yearly (1), while studies on men presenting to physician offices for unrelated conditions found the incidence to be much higher at 4.75% (2)
