Principles of Testicular Torsion Treatment:1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment;
2. Bed rest, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain.
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed.
Principles of Medication Use:
Use sufficient and broad-spectrum antibiotics in the early stage, such as azithromycin. Testicular torsion often recurs, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be decided based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
