How is testicular appendiceal torsion treated?

Patient's question:

I feel uncomfortable, so I want to ask a doctor. How is testicular epididymal torsion treated?

Doctor's answer:

The testicular appendage undergoes a reversal again, which usually leads to severe pain once more. If the duration is prolonged, it may result in abscess formation, often manifesting as acute abdominal symptoms. Diagnostic methods such as ultrasound and scrotal light examination can confirm the condition. Initially, manual reduction should be attempted. If the issue cannot be resolved, emergency surgery is necessary. Timely intervention generally does not interfere with the function of the testis and appendage. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
