Intermittent testicular torsion presents with recurrent episodes of severe unilateral testicular pain with resolution of symptoms between episodes. We present a case of a 26-year-old man with a 14-year history of intermittent testicular pain presenting to the urology clinic for elective surgical evaluation. He reported monthly symptoms for many years and had learned to manually reduce the torsion with each episode. Diagnosis of intermittent testicular torsion was made based on patient history and treatment with bilateral orchiopexy resulted in complete symptom resolution and without any loss of testicular function.

Spinal cord epidural stimulation for male sexual function in spinal cord injured rats.
J Sex Med
December 2024
Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology, University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, KY 40202, United States.
Background: 95% of men with spinal cord injuries exhibit difficulties with sexual function, including erectile dysfunction, anejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, poor ejaculatory force, and poor sperm quality.
Aim: The primary goal is to determine if well-established interventions, such as spinal cord epidural stimulation, are a feasible treatment for sexual dysfunction and if locomotor recovery training can be used to improve ejaculatory function in a rodent model of spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Male Wistar rats underwent thoracic laminectomies (shams), spinal cord transections, or moderate spinal cord contusion injuries.
Primary Retroperitoneal Seminoma-An Uncommon Presentation With Significant Implications.

Institute of Surgical Gastroenterology, GI and HPB Oncosurgery and Liver Transplant, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India.
Primary retroperitoneal seminoma is an exceedingly rare type of germ cell tumor, accounting for less than 5% of all such tumors. These tumors are typically large at presentation due to their slow growth and the nonspecific nature of symptoms, which often leads to delayed diagnosis. A 40-year-old male presented with intermittent abdominal pain and a palpable lump in the right paraumbilical region.

Article Synopsis
- Ovotesticular disorder of sexual development (OT-DSD) is a super rare condition where someone has both testicle and ovary tissues, happening in about 1 in 100,000 people.
- The article talks about a 44-year-old man who found out he had OT-DSD after having some health issues, but he didn't get treated earlier because he grew up in a family that couldn't afford medical care.
- After some medical tests and surgery, doctors confirmed his condition, and he ended up doing well even though there were delays in his diagnosis.
