Testicular trauma: Difference between revisions

Trauma to the testis can cause severe pain, bruising, and/or swelling. In most cases, the testis—which is spongy—can absorb some impact without serious damage. A rare type of testicular trauma, called [[testicular rupture]], occurs when the testicle receives a direct blow or is squeezed against the hard bones of the pelvis. This injury can cause blood to leak into the scrotum. In severe cases, surgery to repair the rupture—and thus save the testicle—may be necessary.
