Physical Examination

Testicles

• Compare the size, tenderness and position.
• Palpatate spermatic cord.
• Transilluminate areas that could potentially contain a mass.
• Explore cords and canals for hernia, tenderness etc.
• Digital rectal exam
• In patients with epididymitis, the pain will be relieved upon lifting the testicle above the symphysis pubis.
