What is Testicular Torsion?

• Testicular torsion happens when a testicle
  rotates, twisting the spermatic cord that brings
  blood to the scrotum. The reduced blood flow
  causes unexpected and often severe pain and
  swelling.
• Testicular torsion is most common between ages 12
  and 18, but it could happen at any age, even
  before birth.
• Testicular torsion generally needs emergency
  surgery. If treated quickly, the testicle could
  usually be saved. But when blood flow has been
  cut off for too long, a testicle may become so
  badly damaged that it has to be removed.

  testicles

• Abdominal pain
• Nausea and vomiting

  wake up because of scrotal pain in the middle of
  the night or early in the morning.

• Causes of Testicular Torsion
• Testicular torsion happens when the testicle
  rotates on the spermatic cord, which brings blood
  to the testicle from the abdomen. If the testicle
  rotates several times, blood flow to it could be
  completely blocked, causing damage more quickly.
• It is not clear why testicular torsion happens.
  Most males who get testicular torsion have an
  inherited trait that enables the testicle to
  rotate freely inside the scrotum. This inherited
  condition usually affects both testicles.
  However, not every male with the trait will have
  testicular torsion.
• Testicular torsion often happens several hours
  after vigorous activity, after a minor injury to
  the testicles, or while sleeping. Cold
  temperature or quick growth of the testicle
  during puberty also may play a role.
