Episode 6 - Back To The Clinic

Testicular Pain

Dr Christian asks Steve back to the clinic who was suffering from acute testicular pain. Having had a cyst removed one year ago, the pain has now returned. Following an ultrasound scan, Steve has returned normal results, and he is sent for cognitive behavioural therapy and some anaesthetic injection into the testicle.

Hi in episode 6, a young boy, possibly aged 6-7, was referred to a clinic to address his problem with an anal fissure. We believe our son, who is 12, is suffering from what we believe to be encopresis for the last 3 years and have had little or no support from our local surgery and hospital and believe that this clinic as it specialises in this area would be the place to apply for help. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
