I have a friend with a whole host of health problems, including severe seizures. I was on the phone with him one night, when he said hang on, and I hear “oh, ow!” And then he starts screaming like he’s being murdered. I thought it was like an extreme seizure. Turns out, testicular torsion. I felt so badly for him.
No, was walking down his hall, and somehow they just tangled? It was a blood curdling scream.
So, you’re telling me that this could happen at any moment? like, just going down for a walk then… -BAMN- testicular torsion
Is your friend okay now?
He is. Poor guy, though. He’s had a lot of stuff in his life. He also had vericose veins on his dick and balls, and the pee hole was in the wrong spot when he was born.
And no, I’m not sharing info he’d want hidden. He’s very, very open this stuff and tries to destigmatize. Just in case anyone was concerned.
Apparently, some people are more likely to have it happen because of an inherited trait. Find out from relatives if it’s happened to them? You’re probably okay, otherwise! There’s a surgical fix if you do have that trait, too.
