Testicular Torsion Surgery in West Bengal

How fast do I need to get treated?

This is a true emergency — the testicle has the best chance of survival if surgery happens within 6 hours of symptom onset, so any sudden severe testicular pain needs immediate emergency care.

Will I lose the testicle?

If treated quickly, the testicle can often be saved; delayed treatment beyond several hours significantly increases the risk that the testicle will need to be removed.

Will this affect my fertility?

Losing one testicle usually doesn't significantly affect fertility since the remaining testicle can compensate, but your urologist can discuss your specific situation.

Why does the other testicle get fixed too?

The anatomical predisposition that caused the torsion is often present on both sides, so fixing the other testicle prevents a future torsion there.

How long is the recovery?

Recovery is usually quick, around 1-2 weeks, with some scrotal swelling and discomfort expected initially.
