How to determine if it is testicular torsion

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. How can I determine if it's testicular torsion?

Doctor's answer:

If nausea and vomiting reappear, accompanied by abdominal pain and recurring testicular pain, it is generally necessary to undergo immediate and thorough examination. Such symptoms could indicate a recurrent inguinal hernia strangulation or testicular torsion. To determine the specific cause, careful imaging studies, particularly color Doppler ultrasound, are required for diagnosis. Additionally, it is important to monitor any urinary disturbances. Testicular torsion typically also necessitates prompt surgical intervention.
