Testicular Torsion

It is a complicated medical situation in which the Spermatic Cord blocks the supply of Blood to the Testicles and other related structures in the Scrotum.

This condition occurs when the Spermatic Cord rotates in the Testicles. The rotation of this Cord can be very dangerous for the human body as it can cause severe pain and swelling in the Testicles. Testicular Torsion is common from 10 to 25 years of age in men but it can occur at any age. About 65% of cases are seen in the adolescents ranging between 12 to 18 years of age. It occurs in about 1 out of 4000 men before the age of 25 years.

Testicular Torsion is mostly treated with the surgery in emergency. If this condition is treated within few hours then Testicles can be saved. Delayed treatment of Testicular Torsion can damage the Testicles even.
