Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with testicular torsion in October 2018. After surgical, there is currently significant swelling. In this case, it is necessary to have it removed. What are the reasons for testicular atrophy after torsion surgery?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully observe the spread of the disease and see how to control it. Take the child to the children's hospital for follow-up promptly. The diet should follow the principle of being light and easy to digest, with small meals. There is no need to blindly restrict food intake to avoid malnutrition and improve immunity. Testicular torsion most commonly occurs in adolescents. After puberty, the weight of the testicles increases, and sudden contraction of the cremaster muscle causes the spermatic cord to spiral, which is the driving force behind acute testicular torsion.
