Doctor explains TESTICULAR TORSION (twisting of the testicle) | Symptoms, causes and surgery
In this video we cover key things that you need to know about a TESTICULAR TORSION. Testicular torsion occurs when a testicle rotates, twisting the spermatic cord that brings blood to the scrotum. The reduced blood flow causes sudden and often severe pain and swelling in the scrotum. Testicular torsion is most common between ages 12 and 18, but it can occur at any age, even before birth. Testicular torsion usually requires emergency surgery. If treated quickly, the testicle can usually be saved. But when blood flow has been cut off for too long, a testicle might become so badly damaged that it has to be removed.
