Overview

If left untreated, patients with testicular tortion may progress to develop ischemia,atrophy, and infertility.[1] Common complications of testicular tortion include ischemia, atrophy, and infertility.[1] Prognosis in early stage of testicular cancer without metastases is very good, and the 10-year survival rate of patients with metastatic testicular cancer is approximately 66-94%.[2]

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

  • The symptoms of testicular tortion usually develop in the second decade of life, and start with symptoms such as sudden onset of testicular pain and swelling.[3]
  • If left untreated, most of patients with testicular tortion may progress to develop ischemia and testicular atrophy.[4]

Complications

  • Common complications of testicular tortion include:
    • ischemia
    • atrophy
    • infertility

Prognosis

  • Prognosis of early stage of testicular tumor without metastasis is good.
  • Depending on the extent of the testicular cancer at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. 10-year survival rate of patients with metastatic testicular cancer is approximately 66-94%.
