Why is prompt treatment necessary for pain in the scrotum?

Clinical pain in the scrotum is mostly due to acute inflammation of the testis and epididymis, testicular trauma, incarcerated hernia, testicular syringomyelia, testicular tumor, testicular adnexal torsion, testicular and epididymal tuberculosis, and involving pain in the testis can also occur when appendicitis and ureteral calculi occur. Testicular torsion is one of the most important scrotal emergencies. Clinically, delayed diagnosis and treatment often leads to testicular torsion necrosis, which is the main cause of testicular loss in adolescents. The testicular torsion blood circulation is suddenly impaired, and the testicle is acutely ischemic and necrotic. The golden period of testicular torsion treatment is 4-8 hours, and testicular torsion over 9 hours results in 50% testicular loss, and over 24 hours results in 90% testicular loss. It can occur from newborns to 70 years old, and adolescents between 9 and 18 years old are the most frequent age group, accounting for about 65% of the cases. At present, primary medical units such as clinics and community hospitals in China mainly use infusion of “anti-inflammatory” as the treatment method, and do not have surgical techniques, and lack of understanding of the seriousness of the emergency, and simply take conservative anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment. The delayed treatment delayed the timing of surgery, domestic research investigation misdiagnosis and misdiagnosis reached more than 80%, that is to say, most of the testicular torsion patients finally delayed the timing of surgery, and the testicle was forced to remove. Once the testicular torsion is misdiagnosed and ischemic necrosis is removed, it will have a great negative impact on the lifelong physiology and psychology of the patient, and other diseases of the testicles will have a decisive impact on the fertility and future family happiness of the teenager. It is recommended that men with testicular pain should seek immediate medical attention without delay and go to a regular hospital specialist in a timely manner after the onset of the disease.
