Nurs Clin North Am. 2004 Jun;39(2):319-26. doi: 10.1016/j.cnur.2004.01.004.

Abstract

Circumcision, priapism, phimosis, Peyronie's disease, orchitis, epididymitis, and testicular torsion are conditions of the male penis and testicles that warrant increased attention by health care providers in practice. Healthy outcomes for penile and testicular disorders can be achieved through education, enhanced screening, and adequate comprehensive treatment. Penile and testicle disorders provide researchers and clinicians with many opportunities for research and practice that can improve the condition of men's health.
