Testicular Torsion
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
With sudden, intense pain in a testicle, it is advisable to act immediately: testicular torsion occurs when the testicle twists on its cord and cuts off the blood flow, which constitutes a medical emergency.
Frequent symptoms: sudden, strong pain in a testicle, swelling of the scrotum, nausea or vomiting, and, sometimes, pain in the lower abdomen.
Why time matters: with the circulation compromised, prompt care is decisive for protecting the testicle.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the professional who studies and manages this condition. If intense, sudden testicular pain appears, especially in children or adolescents, do not wait: seek emergency care immediately.
