Simply because the bag, or scrotum, is a region rich in nerve endings. And to make matters worse, the testicles are not protected by a thick layer of dermis, as they are in other highly sensitive areas of the body, such as the tips of the fingers. “That’s why, despite both being very sensitive, an impact on the testicles hurts much more than, for example, hitting your fingers on the table”, says urologist Mário Paranhos, from Hospital das Clínicas, in São Paulo.
Despite being very sensitive to pain, the sac manages to preserve itself from further damage because it is suspended, which cushions the trauma. But sometimes the blow is so strong that there is no egg that can resist. See what can happen with your precious balls:
BRUISES
With the kick, there may be internal bleeding causing swelling and pain. In some cases, our hero can swell up to the size of an eggplant!
TWIST
The muscle surrounding the testicles can retract so quickly that the nerves and arteries holding the balls become entangled, impeding blood flow. If the torsion persists, the eggs can become gangrenous…
BREAK
If the kick is really brave, the capsule that protects the eggs can break and leak the internal content. There, my dear, just with surgery to get the animal in shape

WHY DO THE BALLS CONTRACT WHEN WE GET SCARED?
In situations of fear, the retraction of the testicles comes from an adrenaline stimulus. It is what puts the whole organism in a state of defense, including the balls, which “rise” to avoid a possible shock.
WHY IS ONE BALL HIGHER THAN THE OTHER?
Each testicle is suspended by the nerves and arteries of the so-called unguinal cord. It turns out that, as the right and left sides of the body are not exactly symmetrical, the balls end up at different heights – which is completely normal.
WHY DOES IT SHRINK IN THE COLD AND STRETCH IN THE HEAT?
For the proper functioning of the sperm factory, it is necessary that the testicles are always 1ºC below the body temperature, which is around 36ºC – 37ºC. Therefore, in the cold, the cremaster muscle lifts the berries to keep them warm next to the body. In the heat, it rolls the opposite

What rolls along in our character’s busy existence

1) MARBLES
Testicles form in the embryo. At first, they are inside the baby’s belly, near the kidneys. Only at the end of pregnancy do they descend into the scrotum. In childhood, they have little function, producing only a little testosterone.
2) EGG HAIR
It is around the age of 12 that the testicles begin to produce sperm. The skin in the region, which used to be clearer and smoother, can darken and wrinkle, due to the pushing and pulling of the eggs. At that time, the figure also gained its hair
3) STANDARD WORKER
As adults, the testes are serious about sperm production – they do it all the time. But the thing rolls for real with sexual arousal. So when you don’t get to the ′′ finally ′′ after making out, pain can occur, caused by sperm stock.
4) CREATIVE LISTEN
Even on the verge of retirement, Mr. Saco still continues to produce sperm. But, at this stage, the shake is no longer as hard as before, and production rolls on in a much smaller amount.

4 important tips for taking care of your bag
SCRAMBLED EGGS
It’s okay that you enjoy cycling, but if you do it too many hours a day, you can end up «cooking your eggs» – which impairs sperm and testosterone production
SHOCK OPERATION
If you’ve been hit in the balls or punched, lying in the fetal position helps to lessen the pain. A little ice goes well too. Now, if the pain really doesn’t go away, it’s worth looking for the urologist
FULL BAG DOES NOT STOP ON STANDING
According to a study by the University of Aberdeen, in Scotland, chubby men with a BMI above 25 have lower quality sperm – because, with excess fat, the testicles overheat. That is, take it easy on the attacks on the fridge
OF CLEAN BERRY
Well, it goes without saying how much cigarettes, drugs and anabolic steroids are harmful to health as a whole and, of course, to sperm. Know that, in the case of anabolic steroids, they can even lead to testicular atrophy. There!…
