Testicular Torsion Causes of Testicular Pain

Testicular Torsion is a cause of severe testicular pain.

In this video, a doctor will explain what testicular torsion is and how it can be diagnosed and treated. Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord, which provides blood flow to the testicle, twists and cuts off circulation. This can result in severe pain and swelling in the affected testicle and if left untreated, can lead to permanent damage or loss of the testicle. The doctor will discuss the symptoms of testicular torsion, how it is diagnosed through physical examination and imaging tests, and the various treatment options available, including surgical intervention. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of testicular torsion, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
