Acute testicular torsion may be caused by strenuous physical activity or scrotal trauma, but it can also result from testicular pathology or developmental abnormalities. It is essential to seek evaluation at a reputable local hospital as soon as possible for appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the exact cause, followed by targeted treatment under the guidance of a physician.
