  • A Urethral stricture
  • B Priapism
  • C Testicular torsion
  • D Balanitis
Correct Answer

Explanation

Testicular torsion is a condition in which the spermatic cord twists and reduces the blood flow to the testicles. It can cause severe pain, swelling, and may lead to infertility if left untreated. It is considered a medical emergency and requires immediate surgical intervention to prevent permanent damage to the testicles. Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra that can cause difficulty in urination but is not a medical emergency. Priapism is a condition where an erection lasts for more than four hours and can lead to permanent damage if not treated promptly. Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans penis and is not a medical emergency.
