He Should Have Been in Pain
My 13-year-old son complained to me that he was unbearably itchy down there. I figured probably sweat, so I told him to wash the area thoroughly and make sure to dry well. A couple of days later, he said it was still itchy and getting bigger. Bigger? I still didn’t think it was anything more than a sweat rash.
We were sent off for an ultrasound. The scan showed zero blood flow to the area, so he was immediately transferred. He went in for surgery where the urologist removes one necrotic mass. It had become randomly twisted and passed at least a week prior. The swelling was a major infection setting in.
He had no pain whatsoever and the doctor said that was amazing. For most boys, torsion feels like being kicked in the nuts, and by the infected stage he was in, he should have been screaming and crying. If we had waited any longer, he could have developed sepsis. MrsFlip
