Let’s head to the backyard for a quick game of tetherball, where we’ll swing into various testicular conditions, starting with cryptorchidism, an undescended testicle often tethered to genetic disorders. Early correction via orchiopexy helps knock down the risk of testicular atrophy and cancer. Next, we’ll touch on through varicocele, a 'bag of worms' in the scrotum caused by dilated veins, usually on the left side, with surgical correction if fertility gets caught up. Testicular torsion is the ultimate game-changer-a medical emergency where the testicle twists around the spermatic cord, cutting off its blood supply and requiring immediate surgery to untangle and reset the game. We also dive into hydrocele, a painless fluid collection that lights up when hit with a flashlight. Finally, we explore into testicular cancer, focusing on seminomas, with their 'fried egg' appearance, and non-seminomas, including yolk sac tumors, embryonal carcinoma, and choriocarcinoma, each with distinct markers and characteristics.
