[music] This is not a pain that should be waited on. So, if you see swelling in the scrotum, redness, and vomiting, [music] and unexplained crying in younger children, then you immediately come to the hospital. This could be a case of testicular [music] torsion. So, here the testis twists, the blood supply stops, and [music] the ticking time starts. So, the golden time is 6 hours. Within 6 hours, we'll be able to save the testes.

[00:00:34]And beyond 6 hours, the [music] damage is usually irreparable, and sometimes leading to the loss of testes. So, [music] warning is don't observe, don't wait for the painkillers to act, and don't [music] wait for any reports.

[00:00:47]Immediately visit the hospital, because diagnosis is mainly a combination of clinical examination by the doctor, and also by an emergency ultrasound. [music] So, the treatment is very simple, and it is a emergency surgical procedure where we untwist the testes [music] and fix it. And opposite side is also done to prevent [music] a recurrence.
