5. Complications

Testicular torsion poses a serious risk to the testicle because it cuts off the blood supply. If left untreated for long enough, the testicle may suffer permanent damage. At worst, this can cause the testicular tissue to die, at which point doctors may have to remove the testicle. In other instances, damage to the testicle can prevent it from functioning properly, causing problems with fertility.
