Primary prevention of testicular torsion (testicular twisting) is not possible.
Prophylaxis
Orchidopexy (testicular fixation) should be performed for:
- Testicular torsion as prophylaxis on the unaffected side (in the same session/immediately).
- Intermittent testicular pain with proven anomalies on both sides.
- In cases of undescended testis/gluteal testis
- In the context of a scrotal (through the scrotum) testicular exposure.
