Orchiopexy / Fixation of freely moving testi

My urologist has advised i have it and says no one has any problems after, i dont believe him and ny biggest fear is what you described above. What stitches did you have? Where were they? is it still painful? how is mobility? how is sport? Would you reccomend the surgery?

Left testi always moves freely. Twists regularly 180 degrees causing discomfort. Have to rearrange regularly.

Seen consultant urologist who suggests fixing the testi with 3 stitches to the sack. the same as when you have a torsion.

Unsure whether to have it. Currently causing discomfort and potential for full torsion. Although I have reached the age of 24 without this occuring !

Has anyone had this procedure without full torsion. Most posts ive read are very negative and have completely put me off the surgery.


thanks
