The most common culprits are gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, and in men over 40, a urinary tract infection that migrated. The Cause: The coiled tube that carries sperm from your testes has probably become inflamed due to a bacterial infection. Then he'll suture each testicle to the inside of your scrotum to prevent the tension from happening again. If that's the case, a urologist will be called to untangle things. The doctors at the hospital will do an ultrasound to assess whether your testicle and cord are indeed twisted. If it isn't treated within four hours, you can lose a testicle. The Cause: Assuming you weren't just kicked there, one of your testes is probably twisted around something called the spermatic cord, cutting off the blood supply. These scenarios may make you wince, but at least you'll know what to do when they happen to you. With a little knowledge, you can head much of the bad stuff off at the pass. If you're not paying attention, you can wind up sick, sterile or dead. And that ain't good, because a lot can happen to a man's penis, testes and prostate: itchiness, infection, pain, bumps, sores, growths, rashes, burning, drooping, swelling, clogging and cancer. The result? When it comes to caring for some of our most critical equipment, the stuff we need to know, keeping our species going - we're virtually clueless. And while women have an entire area of medicine dedicated to the health of their private regions, if it wasn't for the hernia check, men would hardly drop in at the doc's office. R-rated movies showcase female pink parts, but they cover Borat's phallus with a black rectangle. Girls in skirts and undies rock, but most guys wouldn't dare don a kilt. Men are a little uncomfortable about their genitals.
