Overview
Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood supply to the testicle.
This condition requires immediate surgical intervention to prevent permanent testicular damage. Symptoms include sudden severe scrotal pain, swelling, nausea, and tenderness. Early diagnosis and timely surgery are critical to save testicular function.
Causes and Risk Factors for Testicular Torsion
Torsion is often due to anatomical variations like a 'bell-clapper deformity' or trauma. Adolescents and young men are most commonly affected.
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation
Patients experience sudden severe scrotal pain, swelling, nausea, and sometimes abdominal pain. Immediate evaluation is essential to prevent loss of the testicle.
Surgical Treatment Approach
Surgery involves detorsion of the affected testicle and fixation (orchiopexy) to prevent recurrence. The healthy testicle is often fixed prophylactically to avoid future torsion.
