Patient's question:
Health Consultation Description: Today, I came across a terrible story on my phone, as follows; It is said that one of the son's testicles had become purulent due to delayed treatment for too long, and Mr. Lin, who had traveled a long distance, was extremely regretful. The previous evening at 8 PM, Mr. Lin from Dawu, holding his 2-year-9-month-old son Xiaoli, rushed into the hospital. This was because five days earlier, after Xiaoli woke up from his nap and urinated, he suddenly started crying uncontrollably. Upon careful examination, it was found that Xiaoli's scrotum was slightly swollen, and when touched, he cried even harder. He quickly took his son to the local hospital. The doctor said the child had orchitis and was hospitalized for treatment for five days. However, the swelling not only did not subside but became larger. The emergency department doctor at the city hospital diagnosed Xiaoli as having "testicular torsion" and insisted that immediate surgery was necessary, otherwise, "the testicles" would be lost. Upon examination, it was found that there was no obvious blood flow signal in the right testicle, so the doctor immediately performed an emergency surgery to explore. The exploration diagnosis revealed that the right testicle had become purulent and turned purple-black due to prolonged cerebral edema. In order not to interfere with the other testicle, the purulent testicle had to be removed. I remember when I was a child and didn't know any better, I used to play with my reproductive organs. It seems I once tried to swap the positions of the left and right testicles (moving the one that was originally on the left to the right and the one that was originally on the right to the left). I don't know if doing so could have caused testicular torsion.Doctor's answer:
Hello testicular torsion first symptom is very painful you will stop the action yourself. If there is testicular torsion it can also affect life. The most direct way for your current condition is to confirm whether the testicle is normal. The simplest way is to do a routine semen test which takes about half an hour to get the result. If the semen is normal it proves that there was no interference to the testicle before and it will naturally never interfere with fertility. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
