Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can masturbation face down cause testicular torsion? For example, can masturbating by rubbing your penis or testicles against a bed or pillow cause testicular torsion? And what does testicular torsion feel like-would it hurt and would I be able to tell if I had it?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
As per you query, my answer is yes!
whenever there is rough handling of your testes especially when the scrotal sac is in lax/loose state, it might cause torsion of testis!
if it happens, it is like an electric shock and will leave you blind for moments with severe lower abdominal pain, non-stopping...
Doppler study is useful to confirm it!
