Can Testicular Torsion Happen Due To Scratching?
Hi, I have a few questions about testicular torsion, since I'm worried about it. Would scratching be a cause? I scratched down there a few times about eight hours ago, before I went to sleep. I felt something on the right side of the scrotum. Is this supposed to happen because it's a sensitive area? I also have more questions aside from that.

Hi,
Scratching should not lead to Torsion.
It happens mostly due to sudden jerk like injuries or direct blow to that areas or after sexual activity.
If you need answers to more questions about it, you can contact me or leave a Specialist query for me.
