| | CNN - Torsion: A cause of testicular pain - October 15, 1999 |
| | "Intermittent torsion" is a rare condition in which a patient experiences recurrent episodes of scrotal pain caused by temporary twisting of the spermatic cord. | | | It's believed that during episodes of intermittent torsion, the spermatic cords are becoming untwisted, or "detorsed," either on their own or as the man manipulates his testicle to try to alleviate the pain. | | | If a patient is experiencing recurrent testicular pain, he should see a urologist. |

| | Testicular torsion is a disorder in which the testicles rotate (twist) and strangle the spermatic cord, which consists of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and the duct that carries sperm from the body (vas deferens), cutting off the blood supply to the testicles. | | | Color Doppler sonography (color printout of an ultrasound echo test) is used to identify the absence of blood flow typically found in a twisted testicle, which distinguishes the condition from epididymitis. | | | Sudden, severe testicular pain, followed by diminishing pain after several hours (after necrosis begins to set in) |
