Abstract des Autors

Most injuries to the penis and scrotum in sports result from direct blows and require prompt evaluation. Bicyclers penis is a paresthesia and numbness in the perineum and phallus that resolve spontaneously. A direct blow to the scrotum usually causes a testicular contusion that responds to elevation of the scrotum and bed rest. Athletes wear athletic supporters and plastic cups for scrotal protection. Sexually transmitted diseases - nongonococcal urethritis, condyloma acuminatum, and herpes progenitalis - are common urologic problems in athletes. Patients should use condoms or abstain from sexual activity until the condition resolves. Verf.-Referat
