A member asked:
Can the removal of one testicle (due to a tortion) cause discomfort for the other? after examination doctor said the one left has no problem.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Torsion: Typically if one testis is detorsed, or removed for torsion, the other testis is stitched into place so that it cannot twist in the future. If that was performed, there could be some post-surgical pain.

I'm having a severe anxiety attack because I'm having on and off pain in my left testicle and I keep thinking I have testicular torsion. I spoke to a doctor on here using the live chat thing but all he said was see a urologist, nothing else.
Doctor diagnosed intermittent torsion of the right testicle (with possible bell clapper). Suggested orchiopexy of right side because there will only be one incision. What are the risks, benefits/drawbacks, long-term effects of one vs both sides?
