Testicular torsion - Wikipedia

. In some instances, the doctor might be able to untwist the testicle by pushing on the scrotum (manual detorsion). But you'll still need surgery to prevent torsion from occurring again. Surgery for testicular torsion is usually done under general anesthesia.

Can you untwist your testicle yourself?

Saving the testicle becomes more difficult the longer the spermatic cord stays twisted. Sometimes, the spermatic cord can become twisted and then untwist itself without treatment. This is called torsion and detorsion, and it can make testicular torsion more likely to happen in the future.

How long do you have to untwist a testicle?

If testicular torsion is treated right away—at best within six hours—the testicle may be saved. But if blood flow is cut off for more than six hours, the testicle may lose its ability to function. For this reason, it is very important to seek medical attention at the first symptoms of testicular torsion.

How do I check myself for testicular torsion?

Examine one testicle at a time. Start by gently gripping the top of the scrotum, with your thumb on top and your fingers underneath. Pinch gently so that the testicle stays put and won't move during the exam. Between your fingers, you should feel the spermatic cord.

Is testicular torsion obvious?

Most of the time there's no obvious cause. Testicular torsion can happen after an injury, during exercise, or even during sleep.

Can your testicle turn upside down?

Having testicles that can rotate or move back and forth freely in the scrotum is an inherited trait. Only certain people have this attribute. The only way to prevent testicular torsion with this trait is through surgery to attach both testicles to the inside of the scrotum so that they cannot rotate freely.

Do balls move on their own?

Therefore, one of the main reasons you might see testicles moving around relates to temperature. The cremaster muscle is responsible for the movement. It expands and contracts according to temperature – moving them further from the body when it's warm and closer to the body when it's cold.

Can your balls switch places?

In most males, a testicle can't twist because the tissue around it is well attached. Some males are born with no tissue holding the testes to the scrotum. This lets the testes "swing" inside the scrotum (often called a "bell clapper" deformity). Torsion can happen on either side, but rarely on both sides.

Why is one of my balls hanging lower?

Most men's testicles are about the same size, but it's common for one to be slightly bigger than the other. It's also common for one testicle to hang lower than the other. The testicles should feel smooth, without any lumps or bumps, and firm but not hard.

What happens if testes are up and down?

Undescended testicles are still operated on if they occur after the age of 2 to reduce the chances of testicular cancer. Testicles that move up and down (retractile testicles) do not need treatment, but should be monitored as they are more likely to become undescended.

What testicular torsion looks like?

Swelling of the scrotum. Abdominal pain. Nausea and vomiting. A testicle that's positioned higher than normal or at an unusual angle.

Can you pull a testicle?

An injury can rupture or tear the tough, protective covering surrounding the testicle and damage the testicle. This is called a testicular rupture or fracture.

Can push testicle up?

The cremaster reflex can be stimulated by rubbing a nerve on the inner thigh and by emotion, such as fear and laughter. The cremaster is also activated by a cold environment. If the cremaster reflex is strong enough, it can result in a retractile testicle, pulling the testicle out of the scrotum and up into the groin.

Why is my testicle hard as a rock?

Calcifications: These are small structures in the testicle or along the main sperm pipeline (vas) can become hard, almost rock like. These are always painless and rarely need to be removed.

Why is my right nut lower than my left?

WHAT IT IS: A “male laser lift” that tightens the scrotum and rids it of wrinkles, blemishes, and discoloration. HOW WE KNOW ABOUT IT: George Clooney joked about getting his “balls ironed” in an interview—but turns out it's actually becoming popular, especially in L.A.

Is it normal to have wrinkly balls?

While saggy testicles are completely normal, some people don't like the look of them. In some cases, a procedure called scrotoplasty or scrotal reduction can help. These procedures remove extra skin from your scrotum, which can help it appear less saggy.

Can you make a baby with one testicle?

How do I know if my testicle is damaged?

The first sign of trauma to the testicle or scrotum is most often severe pain. Pain around the testicle may also be due to infection or swelling of the epididymis ("epididymitis"). Because the epididymis has a very thin wall, it easily becomes red and swollen by infection or injury.
