Lint: polyorchidism

Commas
suggestion

"Polyorchidism is asymptomatic in the majority of patients. Some patients may present with scrotal pain, scrotal swelling, hydrocele, varicocele, epididymitis, infertility, testicular malignancy, or testicular torsion 2. Testicular torsion is the most commonly encountered complication of polyorchidism 3."

Line 5:106 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.
There Is

"There are several types of this condition with triorchidism being the most common. In this type, there are three testes with the supernumerary being situated on the left in 65% of the cases. In 4.3% of patients with polyorchidism, there is bilateral involvement with four testes."

Line 9:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.
Oxford Comma
