How is testicular torsion diagnosed?

Answer 1

In testicular torsion the spermatic cord that provides the blood supply to a testicle is twisted, cutting off the blood supply, often causing orchalgia. Prolonged testicular torsion will result in the death of the testicle and surrounding tissues. [1] 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_torsion

Answer 3

Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency; it should be operated on as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the testes. Spontaneous detorsion, or untwisting, can occur, making diagnosis difficult.

Answer 4

Testicular torsion occurs when the spermadic cord is twisted at a 90 / 180* angle. This can occur from a hard hit to the scrotum, during testicle recession so that the testicle is no longer inside the scrotum, or the common scenario of getting out of a warm bed into cold air, causing your testicle to recede and twist in many cases.

Answer 5

A nuclear scan of the scrotum may be performed. In this procedure, a tiny amount of radioactive fluid is injected into the blood and detected as it flows through the scrotum and testicles. Torsion is indicated if the radioactive fluid does not flow.

Answer 6

Some testes hang in such a way that they twist more easily than others. Nearly all torsions happen to adolescent males--between the ages of 12 and 18--because their testes enlarge by a factor of five to six during puberty. A larger.
