Patient's question:
Last night, I suddenly woke up in pain, mainly in my lower abdomen and testicles. In the morning, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it was testicular torsion. I don't know why this happened. I'm really in pain now. Could you please tell me what it means if the right testicle has moved sideways?Doctor's answer:
If this issue reoccurs, the first consideration should be whether it may be caused by a retroversion of the testicles, which could lead to such problems. It is best to undergo an ultrasound examination as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis. If it is indeed testicular torsion, surgical treatment will be necessary. Otherwise, if the retroversion occurs repeatedly over a long period, it may lead to testicular necrosis. For patients with urological diseases, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
