Does The Pain Occur As The Testicular Torsion Happens?
Is there pain as the testicular torsion happens?
When you have testicular torsion and are standing, do you have a small "lump" (but not a hard lump, just a small 'vesicle' I guess) above one of the testicles?
Lastly, after you masturbate when you have blue balls, does the pain immediately go away or does it occur more gradually?
Thank you.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Yes, pain occurs in testicular torsion and this is extremely intensive pain which is associated with nausea, vomit. Usually there is no lump, but the whole testicle is swollen,enlarged and red.
If there is just lump and minor pain then this is more suggestive of epididimitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequances.
MAsturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course.
Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required and this should improve on antibiotic therapy.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
