Patient's question:
My child suddenly started feeling nauseous and vomiting, and kept complaining of stomach pain. I thought it might be gastroenteritis or food poisoning, but after going to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was testicular torsion. I am very worried about whether this will affect my child's future. Could you please tell me: How can testicular damage be treated quickly to alleviate the condition?Doctor's answer:
Acute pain is commonly seen in orchitis and injuries. When testicular damage occurs, there is a history of trauma and localized swelling and blood clots. In chronic pain, it can persist for a long time in mild cases. The pain is relatively mild, generalized, and may have radiating characteristics, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the inflammation. The pain in the testicle does not necessarily correlate with the severity of the injury. Some people have a high degree of nerve sensitivity, and even minor injuries can cause severe pain; while others are more slow to perceive, feeling the pain as less intense. It is advisable to visit the urology department for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment. For patients with male reproductive health issues, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health.
