WEEK#10 CALEB MERTZ IHUMAN CASE STUDY:13 YEAR OLDBOY :TESTICULAR PAIN LATEST 2024
, • Age: 13 years
• Height: 5'5" (165 cm)
• Weight: 120.0 lb (54.5 kg)
• Symptoms:
o Testicular pain that started two hours ago.
o Pain extends to the lower abdomen and groin.
o Vomiting once on the way to the clinic.
o Skin is warm and mildly diaphoretic (sweaty).
This scenario could suggest a differential diagnosis of acute testicular
conditions such as testicular torsion, epididymitis, or other urological
emergencies. Immediate evaluation, possibly including imaging and
physical examination, would be critical due to the rapid onset of
symptoms and the risk of complications with testicular torsion.

intermittent?
• Location: Pain confined to the testicles, or does it radiate to the

ago.)
• Duration: Has the pain persisted since onset?
• Intensity: Rate the pain on a scale of 1-10.
• Progression: Has the pain worsened or stayed the same?
• Associated Symptoms:
o Nausea or vomiting (patient vomited once on the way to
the clinic).
