Infertility has become a common disease among modern people, which is closely related to the increasingly irregular lifestyle and environmental pollution. But there are also some infertility diseases that are not caused by these factors, but by external physical factors, the most typical of which is the testicular torsion that sounds very painful. Some friends are in agony after experiencing testicular torsion, so can they still have children after this testicular torsion occurs? Will this reversal recover on its own?

1、 Causes of testicular torsion

People with mesangial testicles can cause testicular torsion, also known as spermatic cord torsion, under sudden force and shock. Most patients suddenly develop symptoms such as abdominal pain, testicular pain, scrotal swelling and tenderness, nausea and vomiting. Due to the twisted spermatic cord, the blood vessels inside the spermatic cord are blocked, and the testicles lack blood supply. If left untreated, the testicles may experience ischemic necrosis, darkening in color, gradual atrophy, and loss of function. This is usually more pronounced in newborns and adolescence. The testicles rotate under the traction of the levator muscle and other testicular bands. Generally speaking, the testicles of newborns are located inside the scrotum after birth. The spermatic cord structure above the testicles, such as testicular arteries, veins, and vas deferens, pulls the testicles. Torsion can be accompanied by symptoms of testicular pain, discomfort, and ischemia, and in severe cases, it may lead to testicular necrosis on the affected side. Mild rotation will not cause pain or discomfort.

2、 Can testicular torsion still have children?

Testicular torsion can affect male fertility, especially severe torsion. If not reset in a timely manner for a long time, it can directly lead to difficulty in restoring reproductive function, leading to infertility, which has a significant impact on men. After discovering the disease, patients need to actively treat their symptoms and receive timely treatment to ensure treatment effectiveness. Male friends with testicular torsion should receive treatment based on their own situation. Some patients have mild conditions and can be improved through manual reduction. Severe cases can be treated with surgery, which generally has a good therapeutic effect. If testicular torsion persists for a long time, prolonged ischemia can disrupt testicular spermatogenesis and endocrine function, leading to testicular atrophy, necrosis, and even difficulty in restoring spermatogenic function, which can directly affect male fertility. Therefore, patients with torsion should be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, and the timing of treatment should not be delayed, otherwise it will cause great harm and impact on male health.

3、 Will testicular torsion recover on its own?

Testicular torsion does not self recover and requires timely medical treatment. The method is as follows: Surgical reduction: When you are diagnosed with testicular torsion, you need to undergo immediate surgical reduction. If the testicles cannot recover after resetting, they should be removed. Manual reduction: When testicular torsion first appears, manual reduction can be performed. After successful restoration, the scrotum can be lifted with a "D" strap to avoid twisting again. Testicular torsion is generally not easy to recover on its own, unless the torsion angle is less than 90 degrees, and the testicles may rotate again on their own during exercise. If the temperature exceeds 90 degrees, it is necessary to seek medical attention from the urology department in a timely manner and check for scrotal ultrasound. If testicular torsion is confirmed, manual reduction should be performed first. If manual reduction fails, timely surgical treatment must be performed to prevent prolonged exposure and testicular ischemic necrosis.

Testicular torsion, as a relatively terrifying form of male reproductive organ damage, will not cause significant harm as long as treated in a timely manner. However, if left untreated for a long time, it will definitely cause severe testicular ischemia or even necrosis. So it is recommended that if this disease occurs, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid serious consequences. Once testicular necrosis occurs, one side of the testicle must be removed, which poses a great threat to male health!
