Tolerance to pain: Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum.Pain is associated with torsion. The pain uusally sudden onset and would cause most pieople to seek emergency help. It sometimes has to be differentiated from epididymo-orchitis, an inflammation of testicle and epididymis.Depends on pain tolerance.

None....: Very rarely and unlikely a male affected by testicular torsion will know he gets it. But professional alert to analyze hx detailing the features of onset, degree, duration, and interval of testicular pain is the surest way to make an accurate DX of testicular torsion, after supplementing clinical suspicion with ua, physicals, and us as needed.
