Warning: Slightly Explicit Science?

Lesson time! Most people don't know this, but for some reason we learned about it in health.
As you know, every fetus starts out with the genetic plan of a female, the Y chromosome changes that and switches everything to male. However, when the Y chromosome takes effect is NOT right away, therefore the testicles were already starting to be formed as ovaries. They immediately changed and moved to a new route to become man parts. However, what was left behind was the nervous system connected to that region. They were first made to be like an internal organ (which ovaries are) act like an internal organ, and FEEL like an internal organ. What I'm getting at is that if a man gets kicked in his testicles, the message sent to the brain is not the same as being kicked in the shin. The message indicates you were kicked in an INTERNAL ORGAN. Which obviously would not be pleasant and oftentimes numbs or causes a shooting pain on that entire side of the body. :]

So basically, ouch. Sound familiar boys?
Sorry if that was illegal for me to explain or something. D: I just don't see a problem with talking about that kind of stuff.

Please make sure you go and get this checked, even if the pain was gone he may be able to get a clue what happened by your description and details of the pain.
We can't loose you!

I don't think this is true. So far as I know there are no internal organs that have nerve endings capable of transmitting pain.

Any doctor types care to clear that up? Thanks.

And Pattimus, if it hurts that much, you're doing it wrong.

Seriously.
