A Teenager With Recurrent Epididymitis

Abstract

A 17-year-old man with a history of imperforate anus presented to clinic with recurrent epididymitis. A fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrogram demonstrated urethra-ejaculatory duct reflux. A narrowing was also noted in the distal prostatic urethra with dilation of the proximal urethra. Subsequent cystoscopy revealed a patent urethra with a hypertrophic external sphincter as the culprit. Pelvic floor physical therapy was undertaken with resolution of urinary symptoms and testicular pain.
