Patient's question:
I want to know if the testicles can twist on their own, what are the reasons, and what symptoms appear?Doctor's answer:
Testicular torsion refers to the rotation of the testicle's position. When testicular torsion occurs, the spermatic cord, which supplies blood to the testicle, is also twisted, causing acute vascular obstruction and preventing blood supply to the testicle. If it is not repositioned promptly, it may lead to severe consequences such as testicular necrosis.
