Testicular torsion is a medical emergency that occurs when the spermatic cord twists and cuts off the blood supply to a testicle. This condition typically affects males during puberty, but it can occur at any age. It can lead to severe pain and, if not treated quickly, may result in loss of the affected testicle due to tissue damage from lack of blood flow.
