Thanks everyone that tried answering the quiz questions! Males are more likely to have an inguinal hernia due to the inguinal canal being larger so that it can accommodate the spermatic cord. The inguinal canal is the pathway that the testes took during development in order to move from inside the abdominal cavity to the outside of body, and into their final destination, the scrotum. The Like Button question: The flexor digitorum profundus and the flexor digitorum superficialis are muscles that could both help you click the like button. 😀

I worked in a veterinary surgery years ago and the strangest case we ever had was a 12 month old Labrador who was brought in for a routine neutering (castration). One of his testicles hadn't come down so the vet began to open him up to remove it from his abdomen (this was already planned), but, upon opening little doggie, we realised he was a very special little doggie! We found his other testicle ….. right at the end of a fallopian tube! and yes, he had a womb too! No wonder he was having some behaviour problems, bless him!

I took my cat to get neutered and they couldn't find his second testicle. If one was left in, it could've become cancerous, so I told them to remove both. Poor guy had some exploratory surgery. They did a great job. He healed faster than usual and is back to being himself.

I had a female collie. Beautiful dog, smart, beautiful and no problems. She never came into heat so I never had her fixed. She was a rescue and I assumed she had been previously rendered sterile. The County I lived in decided to charge 10 times the regular price for large dogs. Ouch. So I took her in for surgery. She had no female organs and also no make organs. She was born neutered. But the County was happy.

Had testicular cancer back in 2003 and I was super lucky catching it early where all I needed was an orchiectomy and no radiation treatment. Thing is, I totally regret getting the prosthetic. It’s a heavy saline-filled oval ball that’s clunky, annoying to deal with, and often lays on my other normal testicle sometimes making it tender to the touch after prolonged periods of time. I definitely want to get it removed at some point and would urge anyone going through testicular cancer to skip it. As I’ve learned, at the end of the day, women don’t care whether you’re a uni-baller or not.

[@Paranormalin416]

Much like the previous commenter, I too had testicular torsion when I was 14 years old, in simple terms, in case you don’t know what that is, the blood vessels that lead to the testicles twists, and cuts off the blood supply, causing excruciating pain like you have never felt before on your life. I was throwing up the entire way to the hospital, literally crying and screaming in agony. To fix it they have to put me to sleep, Cut open my testicles, and untwist the blood vessel, usually stitching it in such a way that it will never happen again, but that’s not the end of my journey, it was only the beginning. A few years later, I noticed a hard lump growing on my left testicle, sure enough it was stage for testicular cancer, at 17 years old. It’s incredibly rare for a very young man to get it, but leave it to me, they had to remove my testicle, and after all the chemotherapy and radiation, thank God the cancer finally went away, but the damage was done, and I endured three more surgeries, where they placed a prosthetic testicle, so that I would at least look relatively normal down there. Aside from the pain, the embarrassment when you were that age is absolutely overwhelming, not to mention the depression and the fear of knowing that they’re literally going to cut off part of your manhood. So I can really relate to this video. There is absolutely zero family history of testicular cancer, or any cancer for that matter, but a couple years after that when I was 20, I was diagnosed with stage for Crohn’s disease, and a few months later after my entire large intestine ruptured, stage four intestinal cancer. Every surgery they did, all 37 of them, removing 95% of my entire G.I. tract, we’re done just above the pubic bone, each one carrying a high probability of permanent impotence, but it was either that or die. I never ever get a normal disease, I always have to get the most painful and embarrassingly uncomfortable ones you could possibly imagine. After you’ve had your testicles, you’re entire pelvic region, along with your penis cut wide open, you just give up on life, because life has absolutely no meaning anymore, it seems personal, like the fates are out to get me specifically. And you heard me right, they did have to cut into my penis, because after all those G.I. surgeries I did end up with impotence, something no drug could fix, so they had to put implants in my penile shaft, and a small pump in my dud testicle, where I pump it, causing these implants to fill with air creating an erection. It’s forever humiliating and embarrassing. Thankfully I’ve been married to the same person throughout this entire process, well most of it, we met when I was only 20, but even still it’s not the point, it’s dehumanizing to have the one thing that defines your masculinity taken away from you against your will. Suicide is never far away from my mind, having attempted it three times already, and succeeding, but each time I was found with enough time to bring me back to life, when I didn’t want to be brought back to life. It really messes with your mind more than anything else, I can’t even look at my own body in the mirror, because all I can see is half a man, covered in scar tissue, who can’t even get it up without surgical intervention. We’re all the men out there we never have to experience this, you have absolutely no idea how lucky you are, because I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy, it’s hell on earth!

[@MonSamDan]

[@messimessi4167]

Stay up TJ I too lost my right testicle due to torsion last year . It’s been a life changing event Im currently seeing a therapist.

[@Paranormalin416]

@@messimessi4167 me too my friend… i’ve been seeing a psychiatrist for 10 years now, I’ve been on medication all that time, and while it helps, nothing can take away that deep rooted pain I feel every day of my life. If it wasn’t for the Crohn’s disease and the intestinal cancer that they found after my intestine ruptured, I probably would’ve been just fine living with one testicle, but then to have your ability to get an erection taken away as well, makes you feel lower than dirt. I didn’t even feel like a man anymore, and it took a lot of therapy to get me to realize that what I went through has nothing to do with being a man. Because I only have 5% of my G.I. tract, and because I’m prone to getting kidney stones, which are more painful than any other thing I’ve ever had happened to me, I live with physical pain every day of my life, but that I can deal with. I take three Percocet and two Gravol just before each meal, so that my gut will slow down just enough to allow me to absorb at least a little bit of my food, before all this happened I was always a relatively stocky but healthy man, well maybe not man, I was still a teenager when it began, but for the most part, at 5‘11“ tall, I was always at least 180 pounds, but ever since the last dozen surgeries, my weight begin to plummet, and no matter what I eat, I cannot gain weight, I just keep losing. I’m down to 118 pounds, I hate looking in the mirror, I look like a human skeleton, I can see all of my ribs and vertebrae, and every bone in my body, with my skin just hanging off, I do mention this for a reason. Since I posted two days ago, yesterday I got a phone call from my doctor telling me that the cancer has come back, this time in my liver and my pancreas. It is one of the reasons why I’ve been losing the weight so quickly, my immune system is gone, and I’m dying. There is still hope, there is always still hope, no matter what the doctors tell you. I’m going to have to be put on permanent TPN, which is in layman‘s terms, intravenous nutrition, for the rest of my life because my body can no longer absorb nutrients to keep me alive. It’s a 12 hour infusion every single day of my life forever, they have to go in and remove what is my kidneys, and see what they can do about my pancreas. They claim they can actually remove a part of it without causing too much damage. Because I have a background in medicine, in case you didn’t know, what are the most important functions of our pancreas is to produce bile and digestive enzymes, which help break down our food so I bodies can absorb it, that’s why, or at least one of the reasons why, I’ve been losing so much weight. My apologies for rambling on but I’m kind of still in shock. I thought I was finished with this, I’m only 53, and I have no plans of dying anytime soon. Forgive me if I’ve made a few errors telling my story, but memory loss is one of the major side effects, I literally can’t remember anything past the age of 20 up until I was around 45, and I lost a significant amount of memory from my youth, all thanks to the chemotherapy, radiation, and countless medications. But here’s the good part, according to the doctors, not just one doctor, but 12 different doctors, I was 100% for certain supposed to die, five times already, I had to arrange my own funeral, I even wrote my own eulogy, but somehow I made it through. The doctors cannot explain how it was possible, all of them telling me I was the only patient they have ever had that survived what I went through, so I have to believe that I was left here for a purpose, and I honestly believe that purpose is to share my story with other people, so that they may be a little more attentive when they notice something not quite right with their body. I know it’s kind of irritating, but I make no apologies, because if I can save just one life, then everything I’ve been through has been worth it. And although I know I am facing one hell of a battle again, for some reason this time I didn’t even cry when they told me the news, as opposed to the first time when I found out I had cancer, and ended up on the floor screaming and bawling my head off like a five-year-old child throwing a temper tantrum. It’s not because I’ve given up, I just have this inexplicable feeling that this is not the end, and I will continue to share my story as long as I possibly can, until there’s not a breath left in me. So thank you for your kind reply, and my sincere sympathies for what you’ve had to go through, because I know it’s indescribably difficult and painful, physically and psychologically, but I also know that you can get through this. If ever you want to talk, or just need a shoulder to cry on, with somebody who totally understands what you’re going through, by all means feel free to message me at [e-mail], anytime you want. All the very best, and no worries, I am absolutely certain that no matter what the doctor say, I am going to beat this again. So many of my friends and family tell me I should write a book, but as you can tell, I am no literary genius, and not even close to being an intellectual, although perhaps I should start a journal, let’s see what happens! Cheers!

[@Paranormalin416]

@@onedollarbleach6891 thank you, but it’s not over yet, I posted this two days ago, yesterday I got a call from my doctor telling me that the cancer has come back in my kidney and my pancreas, yet for some reason I am not even worried about it. Why? According to my doctors, all 12 of them, I was given a 100% chance of dying, with no hope of survival, five times in a row. To this day they still can’t explain how I survived or why I survive, but I honestly believe I was spared for a reason. I know it sounds cliché and even corny, but I believe I was left alive so that I can share my story with as many people as possible. God, fate, or whatever you want to call it, knows that I never shut up, and that I love helping people, (I even managed to get two masters degrees while I was hospitalized, mostly through correspondence with the University of Toronto, and ended up 2 masters degrees…one in medical laboratory technologist and the other in medical radiation technologist. For the times that I wasn’t too sick, I was able to work at the hospitals here in Toronto, so I shared my story with everyone that I possibly could, and it felt so good to put a smile on my patients faces, because they knew I understood exactly how they felt, and it can make all the difference in the world. As you can tell I’m not exactly a literary genius, nor am I an intellectual, but I really would love to try to write a book about my experiences with these various health problems, all with one passionate hope, that other people might recognize the signs of a problem before it gets too serious, goes to their doctor and seeks treatment immediately. I think my biggest regret in life is ignoring all the symptoms that I had ever since I was a kid, because I know I’ve had the Crohn’s disease all my life, but as a young boy, if you see blood coming out of your rectum after a bowel movement, it’s not something you want to talk about to your family, to your friends, not even to your doctor, because you’re absolutely terrified of what might follow. I was such a coward back then, and my doctors have told me on many occasions that if I had come forward years before, I probably could’ve avoided a lot of the pain and surgeries that I had to go through. Testicular torsion is something that I could not have avoided no matter what I did, but I would still probably have all of my intestine, and would not have become completely impotent, if only I had sought out medical help when the symptoms begin to get more and more frequent. I have to live with that stupidity, with that ignorant decision I made out of pure cowardice, for the rest of my life. It’s my passionate hope that by sharing my story and what I’ve been through, somebody who may be experiencing the symptoms I had, might read this, and decide to go to the doctor before it’s too late. I don’t mean to scare you, and please remember that my case, according to the statistics given to me by the University of Toronto medical division, statistically represents only 0.01% of all Crohn’s disease patients. Most people can live their entire lives just fine using medication alone with no need for surgery, but don’t take the chance. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me in the future, I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to begin the long, arduous process of determining exactly where this new cancer is, and how much of me they are going to have to remove, and how much chemo and radiation I’ll need, but I have hope, and as long as I still have hope, I absolutely refuse to let it get the better of me, and I will continue telling my story to anybody who will listen. I know it can be really annoying sometimes, I drive my poor family crazy I think, but like I said many times, if I can help one person, just one, avoid having to go through everything I’ve gone through, then it was all worth it, and I would do it all over again so that I could help that one person, but hopefully I’ll be able to get my message out there and help as many people as I possibly can before I finally do leave this earth. Anyways, thanks for listening, my apologies for rambling on and on, but this is something I just cannot stay quiet about, because silence kills, especially in a situation like this. Please, don’t be me, if something feels wrong, get to your doctor. If it’s nothing, then no big deal, nothing lost, but if it’s something serious, you may have just saved yourself from going through everything I’ve gone through, not to mention your life!. All the best, and many thanks, cheers!

When I was a newborn I had a Testicular Torsion. I was apparently screaming for hours from what my parents said and I’m not sure what happened after I was rushed to the hospital but what I do know is that I have had one testicle since I could remember, and there has always been what felt like a very small pea inside my jewel sack ever since I was little, recently I found out by my doctor that it is actually my long lost testicle! It’s incredibly small compared to my other one and the doctor says since this happened at such a young age I might be prone to it happening again but I grew up very active without any issues so he said just continue to live my life the way I have been. He also mentioned that I might have increase risk of cancer and that in all of his years of his career he’s never come across someone who still had their testicle after a torsion, apparently it’s incredibly rare it never receded all these years and still hasn’t lmao.

When I was 13 years old I experienced testicular torsion, I didn't know what it was... I thought I was just going through puberty until the pain was excruciating and my testicle grew to the size of a softball. My age at the time I was too embarrassed to talk to my parents about it. One day is was SO bad that I swallowed my pride and told my Mom. We went to the hospital and I received an ultrasound and the doctor confirmed the testicle had a small tumor! The testicle was dead and had to be removed. I received a radical orchiectemy. The healing process was quite fast and I had to wait a couple of years when i turn 18 to inquire about a prosthesis. As an adult, Having one testicle always made me feel self conscious especially when dating & engaging in sexual activity I would have to explain to my partner why I only have one testicle. I still haven't gotten the prosthesis because I simply became used to having one. I may inquire again soon but I've learned to be okay with the reality. So wild how it's a 6% chance at my age to have testicular cancer.

to anyone who experiences minor pain in one or both testicles randomly, feel above them, if you have even a tiny lump that is above and not not attached to your testicle you may have a torsion happening. do not wait like I did to get help, it is a very simple fix and prevents you from losing them. I was lucky to not lose either of my testes, because I somehow twisted both at the same time. but 6hrs of pure agony is much worse than just getting treatment before the twisting goes to far. dont put it off.

To answer the quizz, hernias forms more in males because of the openings made between fascias of the abdominal muscles to leave room for the spermatic chord elements to pass. Blood vessels vascularising the testicles are connected to other bigger vessels, and vas deferents must pass to reach the prostate, so sperm can go out with gland secretions : a must to perpetuate the species. Sometimes, those fascias are a bit too loose and then intestines can pass to the inguinal canal, causing hernias.

Answer to the question: because in pregnancy, the testicles descend through the inguinal wall, taking a part of the abdominal musculature with them, forming the cremaster muscles and the inguinal canals. In case of a hernia, tissue might herniate through the inguinal canal. The canals are larger on males as more stuff has to pass through as opposed to females.

Congrats sister. Blockers are the second worst, only better than testosterone itself

[@kristyanne719]

@@ynffsy2443 The messed up thing is, blockers are not even needed since a sufficient level of estradiol (estrogen) will suppress testosterone production by itself. Wish more doctors knew this. But it's because back in the day they gave us proper amounts of estrogen, except it was synthetic garbage that causes blood clots and a lot of people died from it. So they had to lower the amount to be safe, and it was so low that it no longer suppressed testosterone. So blockers were needed. But today you can take natural bio-identical estrogen and blockers are not needed. Btw, the safest and most effective way is injections. The pills, even though they are bio-identical, can still cause blood clots.

Surgeon did not remove the right one since it still made testosterone but it caused aching pain for many years. This week I finally had the right one surgically removed as having had a radical open prostatectomy I wanted to get rid of it. A mumps vaccine was developed in the 60's or 70's so you never see this problem now but it was once very common (anti vaxxers take note).

I contracted the mumps in 7th grade. It was complicated with virus meningitis. The swelling of glands manifested in one of my testicles that enlarged to the size of a softball. I was hospitalized and in isolation for six weeks. The affected testicle reduced in size less than original. Life went on. I was not, however, told I most likely would be sterile. Did not learn this until I was an adult and my mother blurted it out at a social gathering. What a fun day that was. I am now 75 and it has, over time, atrophied to barely palpable. That side has remained tender to touch over my lifetime. My second wife and I wanted children but but could not conceive. I was tested. It revealed that I had no motile swimmers. Sadly this was very disappointing for us. Would have been handy had my mother told me about this or even father. It's the only thing i hold against my parents. They were good parents.

[@Anmol_Singh.10]

@@Cheaps928 In my case it was a matter of hours.Actually Torsion usually shows symptoms within a few hours or so and you'll feel tremendous pain in lower abdomen. In some cases it may take few days to get symptoms. But you're talking about years right. So its impossible that torsion is there. What happens is During Testicular torsion, the blood is restricted to reach Testis. So Testis dies due to lack of blood supply if not treated on time. If reached on time, Testis can be fixed again on correct position and Doctors permanently fix Testis using Stitches. Stitches get dissolved in few weeks and u recover. You just have to stay away from heavy physical activities activities like Cycling or Gym. There's a rare condition in which both the testicles get torsion. I don't think you have torsion. Its impossible because the pain from torsion won't let u move, playing soccer is too far. U may feel discomfort in the groin which is normal in soccer. If you observe change in testis size then its normal if you are going through Puberty, Observe hardness and pain, if it is getting hard and pains when u touch and also Observe change in Colour if its also getting dark. All these symptoms together determine if its torsion or not. Hernia also shows similar symptoms and occur frequently than torsion. Torsion is a rare condition which occur to few unfortunate people.

So to prevent her son, my nephew from getting it, she insisted the doctor remove his genitals, shortly after he turned 13.

In her state, it's legal for a parent to have their son castrated or daughter get a hysterectomy up to their 18th birthday or at least was. Not sure of current law. This happened in 1996. Since then he has attempted suicide over 20 times. He also has the largest breasts in the family despite being five feet two inches and only 95 lbs.

A couple of months later, during recess he was climbing over a chain link fence to recover a baseball, lost his footing, and straddle-dropped onto the top steel support bar, crushing one of his testes. Started out with three, wound up with one. Hang onto your spares.

I mean....I was hoping for the cold plunges video that was teased, like, 2 months ago or so, but this is super interesting as well!!

[@theanatomylab]

Lol. We've been at the mercy of the weather. The cold plunges that we typically do have been completely frozen over. They are starting to thaw, so stay tuned!

[@Please_Be_Kind_To_Me]

@@theanatomylab Ohh good to know! Thank you for the reply and the amazing video :D

[@lilly3182]

Wonderful video. Next video could you demonstrate and explain why or how people get back pain, please please

[@michaelcoghlan9124]

Thank you very much for this video.

[@livephysiology]

It is interesting to hear this video make mention of the conditions under which the testicles may be removed. It is reminiscent of the video on this channel on organs that are not required for life. While technically not required, most males who watched this video probably hoped this situations would not happen to them, as the testicles are organs most males would never want to live without.

My sister once told me a sad anecdote. When she was in high school, some friends and her were out goofing around, and a male friend climbed up a flag pole to show off. He then slid down rapidly and forgot about the thing at the bottom of the pole that you tie the rope to. Anyway, his balls landed on the thing. He had to be taken to hospital and sadly lost a testicle.

Thanks for the video

Thank you for the teacher too

[@madibroyles7183]

My uncle got a line drive straight to the nuts and he wasn't wearing a cup. He had to get a nut removed. Poor guy will never live it down. He got a nut cracker and a bag of broken peanuts while he was in the hospital.

Am 85 having got removed my prostate gland in open surgery procedure. Want to know what effect it will have on my sex life and libido towards my girlfriends? Thanks.

[@Ynox54321]

Kind of fucking disgusting to treat him like that, and talk about it like it's just this funny little joke, isn't it?

[@godwhispersinmyearsinsleep5351]

​@@Ynox54321 there are people like that out there sadly, they are the cancer of society. Ignore them, they should have their organs harvested and given to sick innocent children and other citizens of the world, instead they waste our oxygen.

I felt an immense pain when i saw the testicles being twisted like that

[@JosueLZS]

I had a testicular torsion for a week! it did two full twists, worst pain i've ever felt. All because i was misdiagnosed as just an infection

[@markovukovicc8541]

Same, feel that, had to drink antibiotics, but it camed out to be a torsion, Doctors can also make mistakes but its gonna be okay

[@fosterhall1015]

Good video, I would have liked to heard about vasectomy and the long term effects or issues inherent.

[@auggies]

My right one is super painful at times. Just lightly bumping it is extremely painful. I consulted an MD years ago and he had no idea of why. Im still living with it.

Good for you for talking about Gender Reassignment, Thank you. Knowledge can (often!) solve ignorance that can lead to prejudices, especially important when there's too much misinformation out there. Long time lover of the channel...(& want to donate my body)

[@jennasmol285]

Agreed, sometimes a misunderstanding from lack of information can cause people to draw wrong conclusions. Some are just knobs but have a habit of making themselves known from the first sentence.

[@SmugglersWench]

Oh, 100%. I prefer ignoring that kind to a point, they're often beyond saving or educating. As long as they're not harming my trans offspring ~ or any others. People need to stop perpetuating hate!

[@SmugglersWench]

@Jazz I agree, it can sure go a long way to improving or eliminating dysphoria. The only (& i mean sole) reason i would say it was elective is that I know that knowing/being Trans & the social transition starts LONG before any surgeries are considered by the long list of specialists required to be seen, but they and all the persons friends & allies can respect their gender long before bottom surgery. Otherwise, no definitely not a choice

[@jennasmol285]

Grs is similar to hrt in that it's not clinically required or really recommended, so medically it is a choice to remove healthy organs, but I know damn well that it is a choice made from necessity.

[@waynejr.5579]

What causes an enlarged scrotum, ruling out a possible hernia? Does the time it took to enlarge indicate the possibility of cancer? In my case it started in the left side and now encompassed the whole scrotal sack. I’m told that an immediate scan is necessary. I’m 77 yrs old and have never been under the knife, and not looking forward to any surgical procedure.

[@theanatomylab]

It depends on what is causing the enlargement. They can get enlarged from a tumor/growth, but also can be from fluid (hydrocele). The scan will get you more info. Hope everything goes ok!
