You are sitting in the emergency room with severe groin pains. You’ve never experienced this type of pain before. It has not gone away. You are uncomfortable in every position; sitting, standing or lying down. You go to the emergency room and explain this has been going on for the last few hours. You hear some doctor mention that you might have testicular torsion and you begin to worry.

Testicular torsion occurs when the testicle twists. When it twists, it can cut off the blood supply and cause excruciating pain. When that happens there is a limited window of opportunity in order to correct and fix that problem.

A number of years ago I represented a young boy who had this exact problem. His parents took him to the emergency room for help. That’s where the problem started. The doctors initially did not think he had a torsion and there was no sense of urgency associated with evaluating him. There were no surgeons available in-house, and by the time a qualified pediatric surgeon arrived and imaging and flow studies were done, the blood flow to his testicle had been cut off. The only option at that point was to go in and surgically remove the testicle.

Although they were told that the child’s fertility would likely not be impacted, there was still a chance that he would have difficulty conceiving when he got older. The parents were distressed to learn that there was only a short window of opportunity within which to recognize, diagnose and treat this.

When our experts reviewed the medical records, they confirmed that there were departures from good and accepted care that delayed this child receiving appropriate and timely treatment that would have saved his testicle.

I created a video about the problem this family faced and posted it on YouTube. This particular video consistently gets comments from family members and men who have had this experience.

The goal with all of my videos is to educate my consumers and potential clients so they have information that will help them choose what the next step should be.
