Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord twists and cuts off the blood supply to the testicle. This condition can occur at any age, but tends to be more common between the onset of puberty and the mid-20s. It requires urgent medical attention. Hard physical activity can cause this twisting of the cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -Testicular Torsion is when tissues around the testicle (also known as the “testis") are not attached well. This can cause the testes to twist around the spermatic chord. When this happens, it cuts off the blood flow to the testicle. It can cause pain and swelling, and should be treated as an emergency.

Detailed explanation-3: -SPERMATIC CORD BLOCK FOR TESTICULAR PAIN A spermatic cord block is used for patients who do not have an infection or tumor, but continue to experience pain. The spermatic cord block is a useful maneuver when performing procedures on the scrotal contents to minimize pain.
