Bell clapper syndrome is a congenital condition which makes your testicles hang loosely in your scrotum and increases the risk of testicular torsion.

The cause of bell clapper syndrome include.

The gubernaculum, which normally attaches your testis to the scrotum, doesn't attach properly.

The testis lacks normal attachments to the tunica vaginalis.

Testicular torsion can occur when the testicle twists and is considered a medical emergency.

If it's not treated early testicular loss can occur.

Treatment for bell testicular torsion include.

Surgery and manual torsion that can restore the blood flow to the testicle.
