Male

Testicular torsion happens when a testicle, also called a testis, twists and cuts off its own blood supply. It needs urgent treatment. If your child feels sudden pain in a testicle or scrotum, go to the nearest emergency department straight away.

The foreskin is the loose skin that covers and protects the end of the penis. The foreskin and penis of a baby or child need no special care. A child's foreskin should never be pulled back (retracted) by force.
