Perhaps the most base testicular question is torsion of a testicle. This condition ordinarily occurs in childhood and the juvenile years, but can occur in men of any age. Some men are predisposed to testicular torsion as a effect of inadequate connective tissue within the scrotum itself, but testicular torsion can happen to anything with testicles.
The term "torsion" verily refers to impaired blood flow. The impaired blow flow occurs when a testicle twists nearby on the spermatic cord, which carries the spermatic artery, and cuts off its own blood supply.

Testicular torsion can verily happen artlessly and for no apparent reason. Sometimes it even occurs while sleep. Oddly enough, the cord can untwist by itself before you get to the urologist or other condition care provider. However, if it happened to you once, you are most likely at risk for this to occur again and most urologists would probably propose that surgical operation is needed to fix the testicle, or both testicles.
In adult men the testical torsion condition is often a effect of trauma to the scrotum, or from strenuous bodily exertion. For example: A softball, baseball, or golf ball hits a man hard in the scrotum and causes the torsion. (I had a sick person who was the victim of a hard-hit softball to his groin). Being kneed or kicked in the testicles can also cause testical torsion. The pain of torsion is verily worse than the kick that causes the torsion--so hopefully you will know not to ignore this! (Ouch! And I'm a woman.) Nausea, vomiting, and dizziness are often gift when there is an absence of blood furnish to the testicle or if the injury is sudden. Fainting can also occur.
Testicular torsion is determined a healing urgency and ordinarily requires surgical operation within four to six hours if the testicle is to be saved. An ultrasound of the scrotum most often confirms this diagnosis by showing the absence of blood flowing to the testicle.
A surgeon, or urologist, sometimes will stitch the testicle in place so the torsion doesn't reoccur. If the condition is diagnosed quickly and immediately corrected, the testicle may continue to function properly.
After six hours of torsion, the chances that the testicle will need to be removed increases. Sometimes even with less than six hours of torsion, the testicle may lose its potential to function. (Remember, you only need one testicle to yield testosterone and to father a child. Testosterone is also produced by the adrenal glands.)
How will you recognize this situation? As the testicle's blood furnish is reduced, it moderately turns red, then purple and finally blue. That's when the pain becomes excruciating--and healing help is essential!
When enchanting in any sport with a fast-moving object, guys should whether wear cup or avoid trauma to the scrotum (in other words, never play goalie, catcher or pitcher without a cup).
Remember, this condition is a surgical emergency, regardless of your age. If symptoms of testicular torsion occur seek healing concentration promptly. Call 911 in the United States, if you are in too much pain to drive. Somehow get to your nearest urgency room.
