Scrotodynia successfully treated with botulinum toxin

Abstract

Scrotodynia, or genital dysesthesia, is characterized by chronic scrotal pain lasting at least 3 months, with no identifiable etiology despite thorough investigation. Although it is considered a relatively common condition, the lack of effective therapeutic options significantly impacts the quality of life of affected patients. We report a successful and sustained treatment for scrotodynia with botulinum toxin in a 69-year-old patient who had not responded to appropriately dosed oral medications for chronic pain.
