How to identify testicular torsion in its early stages?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections either. How can you identify testicular torsion in its early stages?

Doctor's answer:

The initial symptoms of testicular torsion can manifest as testicular pain or the recurrence of acute pain in the testicle. It may also lead to swelling or a sensation of heaviness in the scrotum. If the symptoms of testicular torsion are not detected in a timely manner, clinical diagnosis can be performed through color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system, such as testicular MRI for diagnosis. In the early stages of testicular torsion, manual reduction can be attempted, and clinical diagnosis is confirmed. If the inversion is severe, it may cause the testicle to become purulent, requiring surgical treatment.
