Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency that requires immediate intervention to restore the flow of blood. If treated either manually or surgically within six hours, there is an excellent chance (approx. 90%) of preserving the testicle. At 12 hours the rate decreases to 50%; at 24 hours it drops to 10%, and after 24 hours the rate of preservation approaches 0. Once the testicle is dead it must be surgically removed to prevent gangrenous infection.
Um, I've been sleeping like that for 16 years, and I'm still fine.
Surgery in an hour (EST)
Surgery in an hour (EST), really nervous, they're already prepping me with an IV.
my testicle turned 360 degrees and wrapped around the cord.
They're taking me into the surgery room right now, I'll tell you guys how it turned out.
have fun only living with 1 testicle!
