So the internet seems to agree on a list of issues to check for in nutsack maintenance,
http://men.webmd.com/tc/male-genital-problems-and-injuries-topic-overview
1. are they all bloated and hurting and crap
2. do you have cancer
etc...

But I might have found something that isn't quite covered...

So say someone started a regime of physical activity, like 2 weeks ago. Then this person notices that one testicle is hanging lower than the other one, by a lot, like an inch, and they have never done this before. And the one that's hanging lower is maybe a little uncomfortable. Not like hurting, but has had better days. I'm pretty sure it's still connected right - can still feel all the tubes and stuff going to it. People say that it's normal to have one lower than the other, but this seems pretty well triggered from the increased physical activity.

I'm thinking that the guys are just a little bit tired of being bounced all to hell running long distances. The moral of the story is probably that I should man up and start wearing the tighty whiteys, since I have not been doing this. So I'll try that for a week and see how it goes, but tell me if this sounds like something more serious.


Go Dr. TWW! Will post updates later.

Watch out for testicular torsion. You don't want to lose a nut. Also apparently the most painful thing to happen to a man.

BTW, nutsmackr.

well, that's just b/c you're messed up.

And also, they say that the left should hang lower than the right. It apparently has something to do with the blood vessel connections or something. My problem is the right one, so...

They used to be so perfect and symmetric!

^ yes, bad stuff indeed. This might sound trivial, but for that to happen, I think it has to be twisted in some form or fashion. Right? Or not right and should I rethink? But yeah, this one is going just straight down with gravity, blood's got a straight shot.

my friend's 14 year old son flipped over a four wheeler, caught his nuts on the handle bar, and ended up tearing his scrotum. it took 12 stitches to sew him up, but apparently there was no lasting damage except him losing his dignity.

there is a mountain biker out here that broke the seat off his bike on a downhill and the resulting jagged metal that was left behind sliced into his scrotum

good number of stitches for him

damn I heard getting your testicles twisted was like unimaginable pain, didn't a couple of nba players have it happen? I think John Starks had it

The more i read about testicular torsion the more thankful I am for not having it.

I will never wear boxers to work out again. Ever.

I'm sure there is some kind of nut bra you can get to help with some support while exercising.

Doing any physical activities in boxers is generally a bad idea.

On the same note as above, might be an indirect inguinal hernia. I'd get it checked out if you have any suspicions, don't wanna fuck with anything gettin messed up down there.

hahaha i like the whole "obviously talking about yourself but pretending its a friend" thing a lot... but i think i like the "pretend its someone else, and then just say fuck it" angle

thats great. btw my balls hang differently at different temperatures and humidities and after different amounts of physical activity. or sometimes when i have to pee really bad they hang differently than when i dont have to. etc etc. i dont think its a big deal unless it really hurts badly.

i guess. but i say the nuts are important and you should go to the doctor!

The blood supply is twisted, yes, not necessarily what you can see externally. Torsion is a real emergency that needs to be repaired immediately, so if you had it...it's very late to be seeking help. Typically it would start with excruciating pain, though.

Yes, they would.

So, I had a physical once by this female doctor. It was a pretty thorough physical and included a screening for testicular cancer. I'm the kind of guy who is pretty comfortable with my nudity and when a doctor is examining my junk, I'm actually pretty impressed with her in depth knowledge of my testicles. "Wow," I thought, "she's pretty well read."

It wasn't until two weeks later when I was relating this to a friend who had the same doctor give the same exam.

"Dude, you didn't notice something about her?"

"Not really, why?" I said.

"Umm, she wasn't always a she man."

"Oh."

Funny thing is, it didn't really bother me, I think I got the best of both worlds. A "woman" fondling my sack with a "man"s knowledge of what was down there.

So the current theory is that it's just a plain old swollen nut. Apparently this can make it hang lower than the other one, I did not know this.

I'm also confused by the claim that a testicular torsion affected ball will be blue and swollen. How the fuck are you going to see if it's blue or not? I mean, does this make any sense?


...you know, I'm sure this is just a side effect of all the mad copious sex I've been having lately.

Saw a patient in the ED a few nights ago with a MASSIVELY swollen and bruised testicle.


Just the thought of it is still painful.

I heard somewhere They pay up to 50 grand for a good ball. then you get it replaced with a synthetic one. and its a pretty painless procedure. not a bad idea if you don't want kids.

50 grand for a small piece of plastic? Sounds about right for this nation's medical treatment.
