What is testicular torsion?

Testicular torsion causes your testicle to twist (turn around its axis) and cuts off its blood supply. · The gubernaculum is not present. · Rotation of the testis around the spermatic cord by more than 546°: no more blood supply to the testis: ischemia and necrosis and pain. We have four hours from the onset of pain to intervene to save the testis.
