Key Points about Testicular Torsion:
- Definition: Testicular Torsion is a urological emergency where the spermatic cord twists, cutting off the blood supply to the testicle, which can lead to ischemia and necrosis if not promptly treated.
- Causes: It is most commonly seen in adolescents and young adults and can be triggered by physical activity, trauma, or even without any apparent cause.
- Symptoms: Presents with sudden, severe testicular pain, swelling, and sometimes abdominal pain. The affected testis is often elevated and may lie horizontally.
- Diagnosis: Primarily a clinical diagnosis requiring urgent surgical exploration; Doppler ultrasound can be used if the diagnosis is uncertain, showing reduced blood flow to the affected testis.
- Management: Immediate surgical intervention (orchidopexy) is required to untwist the spermatic cord and secure the testis. If the testis is non-viable, orchiectomy may be necessary.
- Complications: Delay in treatment can result in testicular loss, impaired fertility, and psychological distress.
