To establish if there is a role for gabapentin or nortriptyline in the treatment of chronic orchialgia. ⋯ Although this is a small study, it appears that gabapentin and nortriptyline are effective in the treatment of idiopathic chronic orchialgia but not post-vasectomy pain.

Case Reports
Management of urethral hemangiomas associated with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome by endoscopic sclerotherapy.
Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTS) is an unusual congenital anomaly characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, varicosities and bony hypertrophy of the extremities. Herein the case is reported of a 24-year-old man with urethral bleeding from hemangiomas associated with KTS that were successfully managed by endoscopic sclerotherapy. ⋯ At a 4-month follow-up, the patient only had slightly bloodstained urethral discharge, and is doing well. This is the first case reporting endoscopic sclerotherapy for a KTS-associated urethral hemangioma.
