Testicular disease is a rare but often serious condition. Testicular disease includes conditions such as testicular cancer, testicular torsion, infections, and inflammations of the testicular areas. If you are suffering from pain or discomfort in your testicles, contact Premier Urology today for an examination. These conditions can interfere with fertility and even lead to death if left untreated, so getting a diagnosis and starting treatment quickly is essential.

Treatment for Testicular Disease

The type of testicular disease you have will determine the course of treatment we follow. If you are diagnosed with testicular cancer, you will be happy to know that it is one of the most easily treatable forms of cancer. As long as the cancer is diagnosed early, a lasting cure is almost always possible.

If the cancer is localized, we can treat it by surgically removing the testicle, an operation known as an orchiectomy. If the cancer is spreading, we may need to perform additional surgeries or have you undergo radiation or chemotherapy. These are usually successful.

Testicular torsion, which is a twisting of the testicle, requires immediate surgery. If the testicle is treated quickly enough, we will be able to save it. We also will be able to fix the area so the condition will not reoccur. If you are suffering from an inflammation of the veins in the reticules, a condition known as varicoceles, we will not need to do anything unless the condition is affecting your fertility.
