A member asked:
If you have testicular torsion, would that testicle be able to ascend when you get an erection? is this a good way to test if you have it? my right one has been aching for a couple of days(happened in my sleep?

Clinically significant testicular torsion is almost immediately very painful, and would generally require medical attention if occurring "for a couple days". See your physician for an exam, as this diagnosis can be easily determined.
