Patient's question:
Last week in the morning, when I woke up, I suddenly felt severe lower abdominal and head pain, to the point where I broke out in cold sweat. My testicles also hurt very badly. I immediately went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it was testicular torsion. I don't know why it happened suddenly. Please ask: What are the effective treatments for testicular injury?Doctor's answer:
The testicles are the place where sperm is produced, directly related to future fertility. Trauma can cause severe damage to the testicles, and in some cases, removal may be necessary. However, it depends on the situation. Most people feel intense local pain when injured because the nerve endings on the surface of the testicles are very rich and highly sensitive to pain. The internal structure is rarely damaged, so the pain usually subsides by the third day. This type of injury will never lead to infertility. Some people may have more severe testicular injuries with mild local bruising, but this usually fades away after a few days. This is because there may be some rust or minor damage to small subcutaneous blood vessels, which are typically repaired without affecting fertility. The testicles are located in a superficial and exposed area. Due to the good protective structure of the scrotum and its ability to move freely, injuries are not as common.
