Acute testicular torsion is a serious condition. It may result from external trauma or from congenital anatomical abnormalities of the testis. Early symptoms include nausea, vomiting, scrotal swelling, and abdominal pain. If not promptly treated, the condition can progress to infertility, significantly impairing the patient’s daily life.
