Dr. Nicholas Franco Explains the Urgency of Acute Testicular Pain: Testicular Torsion vs. Epididymo-Orchitis

Published

Michigan, US, 22nd August 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, Dr. Nicholas Franco, a retired urologist with an extensive career spanning several decades, provides valuable information on acute testicular pain, focusing on two critical conditions: testicular torsion and Epididymo-orchitis. Acute testicular pain is a symptom that should never be ignored, as it can indicate a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment. Dr. Nicholas Franco’s deep understanding of these conditions highlights the need for immediate medical attention to prevent long-term damage and ensure the best possible outcomes.

Understanding Testicular Torsion

Testicular torsion, Dr. Nicholas Franco says, is a medical emergency where the spermatic cord, which provides blood flow to the testicle, becomes twisted. This twist cuts off the blood supply to the testicle, leading to severe pain, swelling, and, if not treated promptly, permanent damage or loss of the testicle.

“Testicular torsion is one of the most urgent conditions we encounter in urology,” states Dr. Nicholas Franco. “The symptoms include sudden and severe pain in one testicle, swelling, and sometimes nausea or vomiting. The pain can be so intense that it often wakes patients from sleep.”

The Critical Need for Immediate Treatment

Time is of the essence when it comes to treating testicular torsion. Dr. Nicholas Franco emphasizes that the condition requires immediate surgical intervention to restore blood flow to the affected testicle. The procedure, known as orchiopexy, involves untwisting the spermatic cord and securing the testicle to the scrotum to prevent future torsion.

“If treatment is delayed, the lack of blood flow can lead to tissue death within six hours,” warns Dr. Nicholas Franco. “This can result in the loss of the testicle, which not only affects fertility but can also have significant psychological impacts on the patient.”

Understanding Epididymo-Orchitis

Epididymo-orchitis is another condition that can cause acute testicular pain. However, Dr. Nicholas Franco notes, it differs from torsion in that an infection typically causes it. This infection can affect the epididymis (the coiled tube at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm) and the testicle itself.

“Epididymo-orchitis usually presents with pain and swelling, similar to torsion, but the onset may be more gradual,” explains Dr. Nicholas Franco. “Patients may also experience fever, a burning sensation during urination, and a discharge from the penis, indicating the presence of an infection.”

Causes and Risk Factors

Epididymo-orchitis can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea or chlamydia or urinary tract infections (UTIs). In some cases, it may be linked to recent surgery or trauma to the area.

“Men who are sexually active, particularly those with multiple partners, are at higher risk of developing Epididymo-orchitis due to STIs,” says Dr. Nicholas Franco. “Older men, particularly those with an enlarged prostate, may be at risk due to UTIs. Identifying the underlying cause is important to provide the appropriate treatment.”

Treatment and Management

The treatment for Epididymo-orchitis typically involves antibiotics to treat the underlying infection. Dr. Nicholas Franco notes anti-inflammatory medications and pain relievers may also be prescribed to manage symptoms. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required, especially if an abscess has formed or the infection has spread.

“It’s crucial to differentiate between testicular torsion and Epididymo-orchitis, as the treatment approaches are entirely different,” Dr. Nicholas Franco emphasizes. “While torsion requires immediate surgery, Epididymo-orchitis is managed medically. Misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment and potentially severe consequences.”

The Importance of Timely Diagnosis

Dr. Nicholas Franco stresses that any acute testicular pain should be evaluated immediately to determine the correct diagnosis and treatment. Both testicular torsion and Epididymo-orchitis can lead to complications if not treated promptly, making it essential for patients to seek medical attention as soon as symptoms arise.

“Acute testicular pain is a symptom that should never be ignored,” says Dr. Nicholas Franco. “Men experiencing such pain should seek emergency care, as timely intervention can make the difference between preserving or losing the affected testicle.”

Elastos Creates World’s First live Music Inscription on Bitcoin at Token 2049

Partnering with YeloPlay and BeatFarm Elastos shows the potential of the New Age of Bitcoin, Creators and Artists can eliminate intermediaries, reduce fees, retain ownership and drive immediate revenue.

Singapore – 20/09/2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Elastos, a SmartWeb ecosystem provider, today created the World’s first live music inscription at its Asia OnChain Real World Assets (RWA) event at Token 2049. Elastos, part of the Group supported by the Singapore headquartered Elastos Foundation, used its eScription technology to create a recording that was not only inscribed live to Bitcoin and the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC) but now remains available to artists and fans for all time as a minted collectible of the occasion. This is a significant example of the New Age of Bitcoin, where artists and creators can eliminate intermediaries, reduce fees and drive immediate revenues, while retaining an immutable record of their work.

This first recording was supported by Elastos partners, YeloPlay, a Web3 platform with a catalog of Indian and Sri Lankan soundtracks, film scores, and hits and BeatFarm, a transformative music industry platform focused on the development of new inscription technology and blockchain-based music consumption models. Today’s demonstration is a significant moment in showing the potential for Bitcoin and the Bitcoin infrastructure to deliver a new economic model. The song being inscribed is “Back to the start“ composed and performed by Mike De Zilva, Kat Sonata and Charth Fernando.

ESC Transaction: https://esc.elastos.io/tx/0x79c7133488539c63d1fcf81bff6a8826a4df40c14fdd4eae73fb9b0072e8b411/internal-transactions

Bitcoin Transaction: https://mempool.space/tx/e947500f21340a2760ef3c00f54f52ae7f2524bfd6ce2658dceb5dba4dc86729

BeatFarm enables this inscription by inscribing an Ordinal on Bitcoin and an eScription on ESC, which is attractive to Bitcoin holders as it maintains the benefits of the currency’s security and integrity to protect their investment. For creators and artists, it means Bitcoin owners can easily use their currency without bridging, wrapping or otherwise interfering with the Bitcoin layer. The inclusion of ESC is important, as it avoids network congestion and additional fees that would otherwise result, allowing users to establish Smart Contracts on their own terms, ultimately becoming an attractive alternative way to commercialize content.

Jonathan Hargreaves, Global Head of Growth, Elastos explains: “This is a key moment for Web3 models and the music industry as for the first time an instantaneous record of a performance can be created and monetized using Bitcoin and crypto technologies. This gives artists ownership rights and control, as well as a direct relationship with their fans cutting out intermediaries and their fees. This approach has the potential to transform how music is made, consumed and stored, empowering everyone to enjoy and cherish the creative product.”

One interesting aspect of the Elastos BIT Index is that BRIC nations and the Global South are moving quicker to embrace Bitcoin. For example, 24% of tech-savvy Indian consumers and 26% of UAE respondents use Bitcoin every day as their currency of choice compared to the global average of 18% while only 11% of Germans, 13% of UK respondents, 14% of South Koreans and 15% of US tech-savvy consumers are prepared to do the same. Furthermore, 91% of Nigerians and 90% of Indians see a time when Bitcoin could become a type of ‘default’ current compared to only 70% in Germany and 73% in the UK and South Korea, and 75% in the US. Therefore, it is perhaps no surprise that YeloPlay, whose back catalogue includes material from some of Sri Lanka’s most famous artists such as Roshan de Silva, Mariazel Goonathilaka, Nalin Perera, Mike De Zilva, Shane Vincent, and Joel Fernando, has participated in this project.

Jonathan Hargreaves continues: “Although today’s first live inscription signals both a technological and creative revolution, it also enables cultural renaissance where artists from anywhere in the world, such as these Sri Lankan and Indian artists supported by YeloPlay, can experience new artistic and economic opportunities. It means every community can promote and share a unique cultural record by preserving it on the Bitcoin infrastructure forever.”

Beatfarm’s Co-Founder, Alex Panos shared: “Crucial to this revolution, BeatFarm is providing artists the tools and resources to control their content, collaborate, and take advantage of new ways to connect with their super fans in ways which we haven’t seen before, supporting communities and social media movements who want to share musical culture.”

Mike de Zilva, Founder and CEO of YeloPlay, describes completion of the live eScription as a milestone for the creative and music industries:

“The World‘s first live eScription, literally, signals the moment when artists regained control over their creations – it‘s massive. And it‘s not limited to content, Bitcoin-backed eScriptions will enable artists to develop and define completely new relationships with their audiences, incentivising super fans, for instance, with exclusive content, access and experiences. All on the artist‘s terms,“ says Mike.
