Tilak Varma Undergoes Emergency Surgery For Testicular Torsion

India's left handed batter, <span>Tilak Varma</span>, 23, has undergone a <span>testicular torsion</span> surgery, after being diagnosed with it. This news has come as a set back to fans. Varma has created a name in cricket through his performance in the Indian Premier League or the IPL. 

It is twisting of spermatic cord, which supports the testes in scrotum. When this occurs the blood supply is cut off to the testicles and nearby tissue in the scrotum. If not treated in time, this could lead to a permanent damage to the testicle. 

<h2>What Can Cause Testicular Torsion?</h2>

Some men could be prone to this due to defects in the connective tissue within the scrotum. This could happen due to an injury to the scrotum, that could lead to lot of swelling or following heavy exercise. While in some cases, there is no clear cause. 

The condition is usually common during the first year of life and in the beginning of adolescence or puberty, but it could happen to older men too. 

Urology Care Foundation notes that this is not a common problem and happens in about 1 in 4,000 males under the age of 25. However, while this condition is not prone to anyone in particular athletes in sports with potential groin or scrotal trauma like cricket, where getting hit by a ball could be common, increases the risk of the condition. 

After his surgery, Tilak Varma has shared an update on his Instagram story: ""Thank you for all the overwhelming love! Already on the road to recovery and I'll be back on the field sooner than you know it."

His diagnosis came after he experienced an acute abdominal pain after breakfast on Wednesday morning in Rajkot, a day before Hyderabad were to play their final Vijay Hazare Trophy league-stage game against Jammu and Kashmir. Varma was then taken to hospital where scans showed that he required an emergency operation. In consultation with the medical team at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, Varma was finally operated. 

"It was a very emergency situation for Tilak to be operated upon, considering the immense pain he was in. Thankfully, the surgery went well on Wednesday evening at a super-speciality hospital in Rajkot. If all goes well, he could well be discharged tomorrow. It will be known in next 1-2 days about his status of playing next month's T20 World Cup," sources told IANS.

A BCCI also released a statement on Thursday that stated that Tilak has been ruled out of the first three New Zealand T20Is. "His availability for the remaining two matches will be assessed based on his progress during the return-to-training and skill phases," the Board said further.

Varma has been a mainstay in India’s T20I line-up, scoring 1,183 runs from 37 innings at an impressive average of 49.29 and a strike rate of 144.09. The left-hander has registered two centuries and six fifties in the format. His absence may push captain Suryakumar Yadav to bat at number three.
