fractured testicle

[Bwanna]

The medical description of this doesn't make it sound any better:

Testicular rupture or fractured testis refers to a rip or tear in the tunica albuginea resulting in extrusion of the testicular contents

...and whatever you do, don't make the mistake I did, and google for images.

I already have a mental image that looks a little like that dove RJ hit with his fastball.

If ever considered looking for images it wouldn't be for long. This hurts just reading about it.

Wow, that's crazy. And to think that I completely didn't use a jock once recently playing catcher. I got lucky.

Um, you should use more then just a jock............IMO.

How do you fracture a testicle. I thought hard things fractured. Testicals are soft tissue.
Do hardball players have hard balls?

It reminds me of a hard-boiled egg being cracked against a counter.

Can we change the title of this thread to something else? Please? I come to this site for enjoyment and just seeing the words "fractured testicle" makes me shiver. I'm trying real hard to think of ANY injury that sounds worse and I can't think of anything.

I agree, I wish there were something the opposite of a <bump> so I could bury this topic. I wince everytime I see the subject.

Maybe we just need a good euphemism--- like "huevo revuelto" (scrambled egg)
