How fragile are men's testicles?

The testicles are a very important part of men, but also a relatively fragile part. The main function of the testicles is to produce sperm, so only when the testicles are normal can men have normal sexual function and fertility. The reason why the testicles are said to be fragile is not without basis. So, how fragile are men's testicles? The following will introduce you to relevant knowledge!

The testicles are extremely sensitive to pressure because of the dense distribution of vagus nerves on their exterior and the thick and tough outer layer of white membrane, which strictly limits their size and prevents them from being easily deformed. When hit by external force, the testicles reflexively shrink upwards, which can slightly cushion the impact force. However, when the testicles are in an abnormal position for a long time, the blood vessels will be twisted and the blood supply will be interrupted, leading to necrosis of the testicular tissue itself.

Impact injuries to the scrotum or testicles can cause scrotal hematoma or testicular lacerations. Even if the wound heals, the testicles will be in a state of insufficient blood supply for a long time and will atrophy.

The testicles can withstand very little force, and the nerves are very sensitive. Sometimes a small force can cause a nerve reflex and cause cardiac arrest. Some people say that a force of more than 15kg will cause fatal damage to the testicles. Others say that the force of crushing the eggs may damage the testicles, and the testicles are very fragile. In addition, there is a simple truth that the force of hitting with a hammer and poking with a stick is also different. Because the contact area is different, the force that can be tolerated must be different. However, it is worth affirming that men have a pair of testicles, and even if they lose one testicle due to an accident, men can still maintain their male characteristics.

If the testicles are damaged, the damage is multifaceted, both physiological and psychological, so the treatment is also multifaceted. First of all, let's talk about testicular transplantation. From a technical point of view, there is no big problem; but the key is to have a suitable source of testicles to provide donors, and the most important thing is the survival and function of the testicles after transplantation. So it is not that everything will be fine after transplantation. Psychological damage should not be ignored, and you can consult a psychologist if necessary. Many organs, if they are not completely damaged, can survive if replanted within about 6 hours, such as amputated limbs and ears, but there is a high probability that there will be more or less sequelae after transplantation.
