If I understand it right torsions happen when the spermatic cording gets twisted and cuts off blood supply. I don't think you have to do anything in particular to have it happen and usually a "blunt force" injury doesn't result in torsion. Let us know how things turn out with your contacting a lawyer, it does seem obvious with your symptoms that would have been the first thing they checked for...your kidneys? WOW, that didn't make sense to me either.

ONE TESTICLE

just a little question on torsion, does wearing breifs help protect you from it?
-
i wear boxers cuz i cant stand briefs and i dont think it really has anything to do with it...i might be wrong
-
Yeah, I don't think boxers caused it, but they didn't help either. Briefs do keep the testicles from moving around, where the boxers don't.

well sadly i can speak in experiance but they saved my ball but i had INTERMITENT torsion wich sucked ass because my balls had stage fright or something cause it would be fine when the doc was looking at it it took me 2 and 1/2 weeks to get opperated on it sucks and it is the worst pain in my whole life im also 15 ive severly broken my arm had a double hernia neither of which nearly as bad as testicular torsion

Did you see a doctor right away when you first felt pain? This happened to me and I saw an emergency room doctor right away. He sent me home without running any tests to figure out that I had a torsion. I lost the testicle, found out it was twisted and sued him and the hospital. I won $250,000.00 - because he failed to treat the problem when I presented myself to him in the emergency room. Torsion is considered the only emergency in Urology.

Wow.. You wonder about these doctors nowadays.. I'm sure there are are many wonderful doctors, but it seems some shouldn't even be allowed to practice. In NYC's case, to not even examine the testicle is absolutely amazing.
-
You kno i really do wanna sue the doctor but the problem is that the problem occured in a foreign country and now im back in the U.S. By the way the country is the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and its not the most technologically advanced in the world but it still had a lot of the same machines and stuff from the hospitals here in NYC. but the doctors just amazed me and if you guys have any advice if and how i could take any further action, that will be greatly appreciated. by the way the surgery was less than a month ago on the 25th of august.

I agree with Focus' thread earlier. One testicle can product plenty of testosterone and sperm. No need to worry.
-
thats hella fucked that you sued the hospital if your dumd ass would think about it that 250 grand could go towards hireing doctors and the doctor not seeing it well thats hard to tell the way you explain the way that your balls hurt it doesnt even match th symptoms of testicula tosion

What are you talking about? The guy who sued didn't even say what his syptoms were. Plus, why shouldn't he get some compensation for a screw-up.
