AB Consider  the  diagnosis  of  testicular  torsion  in  any  male  with  abdominal  pain.Perform  a  genitourinary  (GU)  examination  on  males  complaining  of  abdominal  pain,  even  if  they  have  no  GU  complaints.  This  is  especially  important  in  adolescent  males.When  considering  testicular  torsion  as  a  diagnosis,  never  allow  an  imaging  study  or  laboratory  test  to  delay  an  emergent  urologic  consultation.When  attempting  manual  detorsion,  remember  the  direction  to  turn  the  testicle  is  like  opening  a  book.
