Wrong treatment, a teenager suffered painful testicle removal

According to information from Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, the male teenager had unusual testicular pain and swelling after 13 days of intravenous antibiotic treatment. The pain symptoms did not improve, so the family transferred the patient to Viet Duc Hospital for treatment...

Dr. Nguyen Duy Khanh, Center for Andrology, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital said: The patient with NST was admitted to the hospital with a high, hard right testicle, Doppler ultrasound lost all pulse signals, and central necrosis. The patient was scheduled for emergency surgery, removing the right testicle and fixing the left testicle. The patient is now stable and has been discharged from the hospital.

According to Associate Professor Nguyen Quang - Director of the Andrology Center, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, President of the Vietnam Association of Gender Medicine: Diagnosis of testicular torsion can be confused with testicular tumor, orchitis.

Therefore, some places often mistakenly treat with antibiotics and pain relief intravenously until after 6 hours the testicles become necrotic and cannot be preserved. Orchiectomy is necessary in cases of late testicular torsion.

Experts from Viet Duc Friendship Hospital recommend that for all patients with abnormal testicular pain or even lower abdominal pain, doctors examining the patient clinically need to rule out the cause of testicular torsion first to avoid missing injuries.
