MSc. Dr. Nguyen Duy Khanh - Andrology Center, Hanoi Viet Duc Hospital said: In the fall and winter, testicular torsion occurs with high frequency.
Testicular torsion occurs suddenly at all ages in children, adolescents, and even the elderly.
Common cases of testicular torsion have the following signs: Sudden severe pain in the scrotum, vomiting, nausea, and hanging testicles.
Testicular torsion is often confused with orchitis, delaying the treatment process, especially at primary health care facilities, losing the "golden time" to save the testicle during surgery.
This is one of the surgical emergencies that needs diagnosis and treatment, so young people should pay attention to get to the hospital in time.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Quang - Director of the Andrology Center, Hanoi Viet Duc Hospital, President of the Vietnam Association of Gender Medicine: Testicular torsion will not only leave serious consequences on the patient's reproductive function and endocrine disorders, but also psychological disorders.
Patients will usually feel self-conscious and inferior in life, usually having to place artificial testicles for aesthetic purposes, but they do not have endocrine or reproductive functions. Doctors recommend that when there are symptoms of sudden pain in the scrotum, patients should go to medical facilities for timely examination and treatment to avoid complications and unfortunate consequences.
