Which presentation is typical of testicular torsion?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. Sudden severe unilateral scrotal pain

Testicular torsion causes sudden severe unilateral scrotal pain and threatens testicular viability, so urgent surgical assessment should not be delayed.

Option by option

  • A. Bilateral itchy groin rash

    An itchy rash suggests a skin condition.

  • B. Sudden severe unilateral scrotal pain (correct)

    Correct: sudden unilateral pain is the emergency presentation.

  • C. Painless ankle swelling

    Ankle swelling is unrelated to the scrotum.
