A twisting of the male organ that makes hormones and sperm (testicle).
Rare
Fewer than 200,000 US cases per year
Treatable by a medical professional
Requires a medical diagnosis
Lab tests or imaging often required
Short-term: resolves within days to weeks
When the testicle rotates (testicular torsion), it twists the cord supplying blood to the loose bag of skin (scrotum) beneath the penis. This may occur after vigorous activity, a minor injury to the testicles, or sleep.
Sudden, severe pain and swelling in the testicle are symptoms.
Surgery is required. Treated promptly, the testicle can often be saved. A longer wait may affect fertility.
