Come one, come all, and revel as I navigate the ups and downs of the mundanities of my life. Thus far, my stomach-churning has been kept to a minimum, but I can't speak for my readers. You'll be riveted as you're kept on the edge of your seat, wondering, "Will the next post be the one that makes me lose my lunch??" Excitement, she wrote!

PSA: Testicular Torsion

THIS IS THE FACE OF TESTICULAR TORSION. Posted by Hello


What is testicular torsion?
In a nutshell it's when the spermatic cord does a 180 and the blood supply gets cut off to the testicles and other structures in the scrotum. It affects 1 out of 4,000 males and more commonly afflicts infants and males during puberty. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to this condition, while for others this may develop after severe trauma to the scrotum...but far be it for me to question how a 21-year-old guy like Josh Druck gets testicular torsion, so let's move on, shall we?

What does testicular torsion feel like?
Pain. Excrutiating, neverending pain. It is like all the murderous atrocities committed in the history of the world, but concentrated in the affected testicle.

Besides the atrocities thing, what are symptoms of testicular torsion?
Swelling on one side of the scrotum, nausea or vomiting, lightheadedness, various lumps and bloodiness, we won't invade Josh's privacy by going into details about that.

Can testicular torsion be treated?
If you are afflicted with testicular torsion, you have 6 hours to get yourself into the hospital for emergency surgery before your no-no's die a withering, undignified death (although God knows why anyone would endure that kind of pain for up to 6 hours). The surgery is called an orchidectomy. If you are unable to go to a hospital, you absolutely should perform surgery - some kind of surgery - on yourself. A rusty steak-knife may be your testicles' last hope.

What's the prognosis?
If all goes well, you and your balls will be romping in the meadows in no time. Otherwise they may atrophy or become severely infected. Looking at Josh's stone-faced expression in the picture above, I'm not exactly sure how positive his outcome was...

Did Josh really have testicular torsion?
This is entirely possible.

Are you for serious?
...Yes?

For more information about testicular torsion, just Google it, you fucktards.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this
is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
