Symptoms of testicular necrosis

It is a relatively common disease at present. Testicular necrosis is mostly related to personal physical health, so we must actively prevent it in life and choose appropriate methods to improve it. We must try our best to avoid some factors that cause and reverse testicular necrosis. We must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time after it occurs.

There are many causes of testicular necrosis, the most common of which are infection, trauma, and poor blood circulation in blood vessels. Generally, there are external factors. Suggestions: The symptoms of testicular necrosis mainly include pain, swelling, fever, etc. Local color Doppler ultrasound examination can be clear. Treatment measures include eliminating the cause, preventing infection, and timely decompression. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used.

Clinical data show that testicular torsion is not uncommon and can occur in all age groups, but the highest incidence rate is in adolescents. Testicular torsion is often caused by prolonged ischemia, which damages the spermatogenesis and endocrine functions of the testicles, resulting in serious consequences such as testicular atrophy and necrosis. Experts point out that the ischemia after testicular torsion is related to the degree and duration of torsion. The greater the degree of torsion, the more severe the ischemia, and the smaller the chance of rescue. According to medical research reports, if the testicles are ischemic for 1 hour, the damage is reversible; if the ischemia is 5 hours, most testicles can still be saved; if it is more than 8 hours, testicular necrosis is inevitable; if it exceeds 24 hours, the function of the affected testicle may be lost forever.

Testicular torsion is prone to occur during sleep at night or in the early morning. Especially after boys enter puberty, the penis erections increase at night, accompanied by local muscle contraction, which can cause testicular rotation. Boys with potential congenital developmental abnormalities, such as long or absent gubernaculum, high fixed point of spermatic cord, cryptic testis, or cryptic testis with oblique hernia, have increased testicular activity during nocturnal penis erection, which can easily twist the testicles. Symptoms will occur when the penis cannot recover on its own. Most patients with testicular torsion will suddenly develop swelling and tenderness on one side of the scrotum, thickening of the spermatic cord, and pain that can spread to the lower abdomen, groin or thigh. Some patients may also have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, and difficulty walking.

In daily life, many men are careless about testicular torsion and endure the pain again and again, which delays early treatment. Some people lose their fertility and cause lifelong misfortune. Shuguang experts suggest that once testicular torsion occurs, especially in teenagers, the torsion should be immediately relieved and the blood supply to the testicle should be restored to save the testicle and prevent complications. In the early stage of testicular torsion, manual reduction can be used. However, since the testicle is not fixed after manual reduction, it is still possible to torsion again, and it is difficult to judge the ischemia of the testicle by manual reduction, so it is recommended to go to a professional men's hospital for examination and treatment in time and use surgery. In addition, after treatment, you should ask your doctor to do a routine semen examination to understand the function of the diseased testicle and the contralateral testicle. This is even more important for unmarried young men.
