Question

the condition of the testis that presents with an extremely rapid, excessively painful enlargement of the testis as well as a bloody discoloration of the scrotum is known as:
varicocele
hydrocele
tuberculosis of the testis
testicular torsion
volvulus

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, not rapid painful testis enlargement with bloody discoloration.
• Hydrocele: Fluid in the scrotum, typically painless or mild pain, no bloody discoloration.
• Tuberculosis of the testis: Chronic, gradual onset, not rapid and extremely painful with bloody discoloration.
• Testicular torsion: Involves twisting of the testis, causing rapid, severe pain, swelling, and can have bloody discoloration due to compromised blood flow.
• Volvulus: Twisting of the intestine, not related to testis.

So Testicular torsion matches the described symptoms.

Answer:

D. Testicular torsion
