Testicular tortion. This is not a joke.

[mjh]

I got a phone call from the ex this afternoon saying that my son was having to go to the hospital. The left testicle was swollen as big as my fist. I freaked out bigtime. It had been hurting since last night so she says. After a little research i realized how serious this could be. He had surgery this afternoon but they did not have to take his left testicle. Please PRAY that his manhood will be ok. I am just now relaxing.
Thanks guys .

2112 the Dr. Said that it happens in young boys. He is 11. Sometimes people grow faster than some of your body parts can catch up. Now on the other hand it can be caused by blunt force maybe getting kicked or puched I. The nads. He never really told us if that was the case. The sperm tube is what twisted around the testicle. I had never heard of this until yesterday.

I used to be a medic so I have a little knowledge. I had never heard of that term before but the twisted cord thing is what was called in medical speak, a "Prolapsed Cord". It's rare but it can happen and yeah-it's serious but it can be untangled so to speak. He will be fine if not just a little embarresed.

Yes he is ok now. The research i did had called it tes. tortion. Also the Dr. Called it that also. He took pictures as he was doing the surgery and showed them to me as far as where the the cord was twisted around it.
