What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating the factors that influence whether adolescents seek immediate medical care when experiencing symptoms of testicular torsion. This observational study focuses on adolescents aged 10 to 17 who underwent surgery for testicular torsion between 2020 and 2025. The main goal is to understand what causes delays of six hours or more between symptom onset and first medical visit. Participants are grouped based on their timing of medical consultation: those who attended within less than six hours of symptom onset and those who attended six hours or more after onset. The study involves completing a questionnaire designed to assess factors linked to delayed medical care for testicular torsion. During the study, participants will complete the "Questionnaire for Assessing Factors Associated with Delay in Seeking Medical Care for Testicular Torsion in Adolescents." Researchers will evaluate barriers to healthcare access, prior knowledge of testicular torsion, perception of symptom severity, and the role of parents or guardians in seeking care. The study aims to identify factors associated with delayed consultation to improve timely medical attention for adolescents with this condition.
