  2. 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.

  3. Symptoms Of Testicular Torsion Sudden, severe pain in the scrotum — the loose bag of skin under your penis that consists of the testicles Swelling of the scrotum Abdominal pain Nausea and vomiting A testicle that is positioned higher than usual or at an unusual angle Frequent urination Fever

  4. 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.
