Testicle torsion usually occurs on one side only.
Prompt treatment is necessary to salvage the affected testicle.
The testicle, the spermatic cord, and the blood supply to each are involved. Surgery to untangle the twisted spermatic cord and to attach the affected testicle to the inside scrotal wall, which prevents recurrence. The surgeon will probably operate on the boy's unaffected testicle also to prevent torsion. Swelling, redness, and tenderness of the scrotum. Nausea and vomiting.
