Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't get morning erections anymore. Could you please tell me what the ultrasound findings are for testicular torsion?Doctor's answer:
Testicular torsion is a common urological disease. It usually occurs after intense exercise or waking up from a nap, causing severe and unbearable pain in one or both scrotal areas. On MRI, it is characterized by the loss of the normal anatomical relationship between the testis, epididymis, and scrotum, with partial or complete displacement. Additionally, Doppler ultrasound shows minimal or no blood flow. Once diagnosed, testicular torsion requires prompt surgical intervention or manual reduction.
