Suggest Treatment For Testicular Torsion

default
Posted on Mon, 2 Mar 2015
Question: I had testicular torsion a few days ago and had surgery to untwist it but I masturbated just a day or two after, I was not told to avoid it but I have now realized that it is important to avoid doing so after reading something online. Could this cause me problems and what should I look out for? I have not noticed any pain despite not taking any medication since then. I didn't feel like I needed it. I have also been noticing a bubbly/electric shock type feeling in my stomach/small bowel area, well all around there. I get this feeling when I stretch the area, cough, laugh, sneeze and a little when I take a deep breath. I get this feeling like my heart is beating in the same area and this can be followed by palpitations.

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
You should ideally avoid masterbating till 3 weeks.Its risky to practice it before 3 weeksWhy to take risks??
Also you said you have shortness of breath,palpitations and other symptoms are these symptoms associated with any heavy work or you feel it at rest aswell.?I will suggest you to get a bed rest for atleast one week followed by only light work for 2-3 days.still if you feel theres pain I will suggest you to consult with your surgeon as soon as possible.

I hope my answer was helpful for you . Dont forget to close the discussion.Thank you.
