Patient's question:
Doctor, you and I are friends. Recently, I noticed that my left testicle is swollen and has started to cause unbearable pain, making it difficult for me to sleep at night. The hospital examination said it was a testicular torsion. How do you think about the testicle? Can it be reversed?Doctor's answer:
Testicular torsion can cause swelling of the testicle, severe testicular pain, and the testicle to be in a horizontal position. The majority of patients with testicular torsion are newborns and children undergoing growth and development during puberty. The testicle and spermatic cord move frequently. The testicle and spermatic cord are prone to torsion under sudden exertion or violent impact. This may be related to their long spermatic cords. The spermatic cord contains the vas deferens, small arteries, nerves, muscles, etc. This is the key pathway for the testicle to receive blood and nutrients.
