Patient's question:
Right testicle swollen, painful, right lower abdominal pain, for about two or three days! It's okay as long as you stay seated, but it hurts when slightly touched. The right testicle is noticeably larger than the left, very swollen. Will the testicle die?Doctor's answer:
Testicular torsion is a common spontaneous clinical condition. If there is vigorous exercise or if the cremaster muscle of the testicle contracts tightly, it can cause the spermatic cord and testicle to rotate, leading to ischemic suppuration of the testicle and epididymis, accompanied by severe pain on one side of the testicle. Surgery to reposition the testicle must be performed within six hours. If the timing is missed, the testicle will suffer irreversible damage. Patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
