Patient's question:
I have a very bad stomachache, and my testicles are also hurting. I went to the bathroom to check, and found that one of my testicles is higher than the other. I hit it just now. I searched online and found it might be testicular torsion. I'm very scared now. Please ask: What are the tests for testicular injury?Doctor's answer:
It is triggered by the activity. As long as the heavy stimulus is not too severe, a little exercise can help the retracted testicles quickly return to their original position. Otherwise, if the testicles remain in an abnormal position due to external force stimulation for a long time, conditions such as testicular torsion, complete vascular twisting, interruption of blood supply to the testicles, prolonged cerebral edema, and necrosis of testicular tissue may occur. If the pain subsides quickly, there is generally no major issue. However, if the force is too severe, the pain persists significantly, or blood is present in the urine, immediate medical attention to the urology department for examination and treatment is necessary. Patients with testicular injuries should always maintain a calm mood, avoid overexertion, and participate in appropriate physical activities such as Qigong or Tai Chi to strengthen their bodies. They should also take precautions against colds and never hold in their urine.
