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.[2]
- 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%.[2]
