Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Jianlong
Acute testicular torsion may be caused by incomplete testicular development, and in most patients, it could result from trauma or vigorous physical activity leading to the twisting of the testicle. When testicular torsion occurs, prompt medical attention at a hospital is essential to prevent prolonged insufficient blood supply, which may lead to testicular necrosis and impair male fertility.
