Testicular pain should always be seen and evaluated quickly to rule out testicular torsion. If the pain is severe and continuous, you need to be evaluated ideally within 4-6hrs of the pain beginning. If the blood flow to the testicle is being restricted, you risk losing the testicle the longer you wait to be evaluated. Ritz XV, PLLC
