A primary care physician can do an exam and order tests, and they may also refer you to a specialist. Treating a ruptured testicle usually means surgery. Dissolvable stitches are often used. And, in some cases, a plastic tube may be left in the scrotum for several days to drain excess fluid while the testicle heals. After surgery, you may be given prescription pain medications.
However, common OTC anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen Advil , may be enough to get you through recovery. Swelling may take at least 2 to 4 weeks to subside.
After that time, you may be able to resume daily activities. However, heavy lifting and other types of extreme physical exertion may have to wait several more weeks. The same is true for contact sports or any sports where injury is possible. Wearing an athletic cup is recommended. Sexual activity may be appropriate after a few weeks, but be sure to talk with your doctor about any concerns. You may still be feeling considerable discomfort, so allow yourself some time to heal.
A ruptured testicle might be uncomfortable just to think about, let alone experience firsthand. Wearing protective gear can help when playing sports, and taking extra precautions when handling firearms is always important. If a rupture has occurred, surgical repair is often possible. In extreme cases, testicle removal may be necessary. According to Shemozzle champion Josh Masters, the best part of the competition is that the bull's balls "weren't connected to anything.
As if anyone would have perfect recall after what Shelford went through. He succeeded. In a way. Shelford already had lost several teeth and suffered a concussion during the match, so he wasn't about to leave the pitch to check his bits. That didn't do a lot, so we just played on. I went off the field with 20 minutes to go not really knowing where I was, let alone what day it was.
And it was not until I got changed that I realized that my scrotum had been torn and that the testicle was hanging a good 4 or 5 inches out of the scrotum. Nicklas Lidstrom The first thing the doctor asked Lidstrom was whether he planned on having any more kids. Lidstrom says it was the worst pain he's experienced. In the embryonic state, testicles start out in the stomach cavity next to the kidneys.
They eventually descend, as the body develops, but the nerve endings remain connected deep within the retroperitoneum. Hence the feeling, even from a brisk gust of wind directed to the wrong area, like someone just crowbarred your kidneys. Lidstrom reacted to this trauma kind of exactly how you'd expect one of the all-time greats to respond. He showed up for practice at the rink the next day. Somewhere Allen Iverson weeps. The pain didn't go away, though, and 24 hours later Lidstrom, who has four kids, required emergency surgery.
He missed Games 4 and 5 of the Western Conference finals. Mike Metzger In December , after over-rotating on a foot back flip nac-nac, Metzger, a motocross legend, lay in a crumpled heap on the bottom of a stadium ramp. The Godfather of Freestyle wondered to himself, "Have I just ripped off my penis in front of 20, fans? He was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery to remove the testicle and wire his pelvic muscles back together. He spent seven days in the hospital.
Sami Salo Hockey players do wear cups, but when they slide, so does the protection, exposing their tunica albuginea the thin, leathery covering of the testicles to a six-ounce piece of frozen rubber traveling at speeds in excess of mph. As a result, in each of the past three Stanley Cup playoffs, an NHL player has nearly lost a nut while sliding to block a shot. This is why a cup industry insider told me an alarming number of NHL players leave the game as partial eunuchs.
After the shot, Salo collapsed straight down like a dynamited building into the fetal position. The Canucks announcers wondered on air whether he had been hit in the wrist, somehow missing the universally recognized body language of a dude jacked in the jewels. Video of LeBron James in such a state, performing a howling death roll across a high school gym floor in Ohio, has been viewed by more than , people on YouTube.
Happens way more than you think. I can attest to that: While I was playing in an adult rec hockey league in the spring, a guy tried to clear me from in front of the crease by night-sticking me from behind, up and between my legs. As I lay crumpled in a heap with my shield the only thing preventing me from sucking my thumb, it took me several minutes to regain my composure and enough strength to shuffle like an invalid back to the bench, where my buddies greeted me with a typical hockey reception: "Is hims OK?
There was a mountain biking accident, and that guy ended up losing his testicle. It was completely annihilated. He came down with the full force of his considerable weight on the center bar of his mountain bike.
There was no capsule left to stitch it back together to hold the innards in. We just removed it and put in a prosthesis. You're talking about capsules and innards. What exactly is a ruptured testicle? The testicle has a parenchyma, which is the meat of the testicle.
It's a somewhat soft gelatinous rubbery consistency. Then it is bound by a thin capsule called a tunic. So you have a blunt force trauma, and it sort of ruptures the capsule that binds the innards. It looks like a cracked egg or a disrupted egg and the stuff is pushing out through the defect in the capsule and you see this oozy material popping out.
You have to remove the stuff that is oozing out and then sew the capsule shut. How do you diagnose it? There are people who show up with swollen nut bags all the time that we don't do anything to. Differentiating those from people that need treatment is the first thing.
The diagnostic test is an ultrasound and there are a few things you're looking for. You want to see good blood flow to the testicle. If it's twisted you have to untwist it and if it's not you have to remove it.
