How can you prevent testicular torsion?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Orchiopexy.: Testicular torsion causes an interruption in blood supply that is characterized by extreme pain. The only way to truly prevent this condition is to undergo orchiopexy, which is a surgical procedure where the testicle is anchored to the lining and muscular layer of the scrotum. This is usually performed in cases of torsion or in undescended testicle.
