Is this a normal reaction?

[Anonymous]

When I was play fighting with my younger brother I kicked him in the nuts and I obviously got them really good because he was in a lot of pain...but eventually he had to run off to the toilette to throw up? I was kinda surprised. Is this a normal body reaction to pain in the testicles?

I took my brother to the urologist to have his testciles checked. Besides his testicles having ached and throbbed for about two days, there is no permanent damage. It's all good, I apologized to him, he wasn't mad at me anyway, so everything is fine now. Thanks to everyone who actually gave me useful answers instead of just calling me names and such.

[FifthElement]

I can understand the pain of getting hit in the balls, and even though I have never been falcon punched, I have been hit in the boobs, and yeah...IT F***ING HURTS. I really don't think she meant it on purpose.

But to the QA, the least you could do in this siutation is first, apologize, obviously. Then tell him to alternate hot and cold on his balls until the pain beings to subside. If it's been a day or so, and he is still in a lot of pain, take him to the ER.

[Asker]

Thanks!

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Alternate hot and cold on his balls? After you get kicked in the balls, even wind hurts to feel. Laying ice or a heating pad on it is not the solution. Do you know that cold causes the balls to shrink up close to body to retain heat-- because it's not suppose to get that cold. Same with heat, it loosens and gets away from the body in order to cool. You're suggesting he contract and expand his balls, when they're sore.. just leave him alone and pray you didn't ruin his ability to fertilize

[FifthElement]

Well, sorry, I do not possess a set of peaches. I am just speaking off experience where I've suffered some type of trauma to my body. He obviously will need some kind of pain relief, and OTC painkillers can only do so much. But whatever, I'm not even going to explain what I meant behind my answer, so I'm done with this question. Carry on.

[A_Guy]

falcon punched? LOL referencing Capt. Falcon, but am I missing something here?

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

I was just explaining why icy hot probably isn't the best solution. Didn't mean to offend.

[FifthElement]

Its fine.

@A_Guy a falcon punch or falcon kick is when a girl is whacked in her vaginal/area. Ouch.

[heavenonearth]

I kicked my brother there once on accident, and he didn't throw up, but it was painful I'm sure. That's one area I stay clear of even if he's pinned me down or has my arm in some weird angle, because it can be really damaging and it's just not something you do unless you're in real danger from someone, in my opinion. I think if you kicked him hard enough it's very possible he threw up because of that.

[Blubb]

Of course he threw up because of that, why else would he have? lol

[heavenonearth]

Well yeah lol, I'm just saying it's not abnormal, that's all. I can amend it if you want-"I think if you kicked him hard enough, it's a normal reaction to throw up from the pain of it". There.

[Beatrice1865]

Honestly. It’s almost as painful as a kick to the vagina.

[kasiecakes]

Please understand that you shouldn't have done it. Its a highly painful experience from what I've seen, and any harder could be extremely dangerous. I'm sure he'll be fine, but I do believe you owe him an apology.

Have you ever been punched at full force in the boob? Its like that, only 3x as bad.

[kasiecakes]

Glad that he's okay now!

[WhatisMisophonia]

3x as bad? you ever been kicked in the overies? guys have boobs too, ours just don't have nearly as much fat in them and they can't lactate; but we still have nipples, and that's kinda the most sensitive part isn't it?

[john075]

I think you said everything. And usually never ever kick testicles but if your life depends on that.
Respect us each other...

[squeakyclean]

you meanie! how old is your younger brother?

yes it can hurt really really bad as I've been hit by a fribsee, soccer ball but never kicked by a girl before. it felt nauseous, I didn't throw up but I guess if I ate a meal before that and had been kicked hard enough, I could throw up. in my experience, the pain just subsides within the next ten minutes and everything will be fine.

[Asker]

He's 15. And well, he seemed to have aching testicles for the rest of the day at least...

[squeakyclean]

what has he done to deserve an assault from you?

[Asker]

It wasn't my intention to get him (or rather them) so hard.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Not so hard, but it was still your intention to get them...

Wow.

Squeaky, a kick is a lot worse because of the angle. 10 minutes recovery is not enough. Can ache for days depending on the amount of force. A soccer ball likely isn't gonna get the angle to seriously damage your testicles. However, a kick can ruin your ability to have kids-- especially during growth. This girl is evil for intentionally hitting him in the balls.

[Blubb]

Stop being so judgmental as to call her "evil", that's ridiculous. She's not a bad person for having that, she just didn't know any better. Jeez, calm down.

[Blubb]

Ok boys, now everyone calm down again. I know from experience how extremely painful this feels, as I have been kicked there VERY hard several times before. But the way some of you here are calling her names and crying like babies about it, is just ridiculous. 1) she said she didn't mean to, 2) yes it hurts like hell, but so do other things too, so calm the f*** down please.

[alimahadtheman]

No. The fact that instead of being apologetic about it, and taking responsibility for her action, she is arguing with people and down voting people putting some sense into her head. Which is not just ridiculous, but shameful as well. The inconsiderable attitude is well evident the very way she phrases her point of view. We know it wasn't intentional, but she dejects the actuality in every sensible answer posted. And I for once refuse to ignore such pathetic behavior.

[Asker]

@alimahadtheman: What do YOU know how apologetic I am towards my brother?!

[Kain6th]

Well tell us how you apologized then. stop letting us assume you really wanted to hurt him for fun.

[DiamondKutt]

I think you guys really need to get over it. I have never heard of a guy dying from being kicked in the balls once.

[Asker]

I aplogized to him, though I don't think I have to tell you that. My question was about the throwing up. I wanted to know if it's normal and how common it is and how it can happen. I was asking for you guy's "absolution".

[Kain6th]

"I think you guys really need to get over it. I have never heard of a guy dying from being kicked in the balls once."

You aren't a guy so stop talking like you know what being kicked in the balls feels like

[Asker]

*I wasn't asking for you guy's "absolution".

[DiamondKutt]

I know it hurts, sweetie. But I have never heard of a guy actually dying from it. You need to stop acting like it's life-threatening. It's not.

[Confused614]

Getting kicked in the balls sucks but seriously you guys have it like preached in your head that it's so bad you would prefer torture over it. Shut up and get over it. She could have accidentally tripped him and broke his wrist, arm, a finger, or whatever that would be a lot more pain but you wouldn't be freaking out. Again shut up. If getting hit in the balls hurts you that much I suggest wearing a cup for the rest of your life.

[Blubb]

You tell 'em, Confused614!

[DiamondKutt]

Right. I mean they were wrestling for God's sake. I guess getting hit there a lot would eventually because testicular damage, but I'm sure most guys don't get hit there on a regular basis. Heck, girls aren't supposed to get punched in the stomach because it can damage their ovaries if done on a regular basis, but I've been punched in the stomach before & it may hurt but you don't see me crying like a little bitch about it.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Diamond, you're comparing getting punched in the stomach to getting kicked in the balls? Do you sincerely feel like that is a logical comparison?

Let me ask you, have you ever felt so much pain it made you puke? That would be a more relative experience.

And Confused, how is getting kicked in the balls not torture? I for one find being forced to puke torture, let alone severe physical pain like being kicked in the balls-- or both! Not sure what you count as torture if not pain/discomfort.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Also Blubb, she said she meant to *just not as hard as she did*

Are you gonna condone her behavior still?

[DiamondKutt]

The guys that I have hit down there were in pain but they did not care. They weren't throwing up or anything. I rarely say this but I know it's painful, but you all need to "man up". But from all of the whiny little boys on GAG who complain about everything on the earth, what can I expect? What she did was in no way the cruelest thing ever. I have never heard any normal, sane guy complain this much & personally insult a girl about hitting a guy in the nuts.

[DiamondKutt]

I put money on it that no one would care that much if it was a twisted ankle or broken arm, which probably hurts just as bad. On top of that, she didn't even mean to do it.

[MrReal]

I've twisted two of my ankles and it was painful but getting kicked or punched in the testicles is much worse. I've never broken a bone but I would rather break my arm than get kicked hard on the testicles. I'm surprised guys are saying other wise, maybe you guys need to slap your testis around, maybe you'll develop a different tune.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

I've gotten a fracture in my hand after being stomped on by a guy's cleat during football. That didn't make me moan in pain. Actually, I was in on the next play and stayed in the whole game without complaining to coach. Diamond, you really don't understand. And no, you've never kicked a guy in the balls and they were fine with it. You'll never kick a guy in the balls and have them "not care" so either you missed or you're lying to make your argument sound true-- which it doesn't.

[DiamondKutt]

I don't lie sweetie. Of course the guy in hit in the balls was in pain. He curled up in a ball. But he did not start acting like you guys do & go on a murderous rampage about it. Again, the majority of GAG guys are a bunch of crybabies that have never stepped out in the world. Not every guy reacts the same to pain. You might as well just cut it out now because calling me a liar isn't going to stop me from proving my point, which I already have. All I'm trying to do is defend the QA.

[DiamondKutt]

I*

[Blubb]

OMG guys, stop being such cry babies, you're embarrassing yourselves.

[Confused614]

Staying in a game after fracturing your hand doesn't make you cool or tough it makes you an idiot. I have broken a couple fingers and have jammed my fingers at least a dozen times. I would rather take a hit to the balls then a jammed finger any day. A hit in your balls you can walk off in just a few minutes. Even if the pain was incredible if you can get rid of it quickly its not that big of a deal. Last time I jammed my finger it didn't heal completely for 2 months. Every guy has been hit in

[Confused614]

the balls before and somehow life has gone on for you. I would assume your balls still fully function as well. If not then it makes sense why you are freaking out you either never grew a pair or someone stole them from you.

[Journeyman11]

@DiamondKutt
And I've never heard of a girl dying from being punched in the stomach. I'd still be a bastard if I punched my LITTLE SISTER so hard in the stomach that she puked! What makes you think a boy feels any less shitty when someone does this to him?

[john075]

@DiamondKutt It is very very very painful.. not just painful. You just slap the testiclzs with one finger... the guy will curl..
And don't uou forget that testicles are sexual organs, the most intime organs a guy have. Have you think about psychological damage when a girl kick testicles?

[aceflyer530]

@DiamondKutt I have a high pain tolerance. If a girl kicked me she will get KOed by me. You say every guy reacts differently to pain well this is how I react to pain. Retaliation.

[theydidntnameme]

thats pretty bad. I've been hit there while playing basketball. the pain is unreal. and there's nothing you can do but wait for it to SLOWLY fade away. its not an short burst of pain. it hits you like a mack truck and it stays. I'm just surprised some people think its not a big deal. I've been in a lot of pain when it happened, but I was nowhere near close to throwing up. so for you brother to throw up, he must have been really suffering.

i would suggest you don't do it again, not intentionally, even if you 'plan' to not do it too hard. its like accidentally pulling a scare prank on your great grandmother. it seems like a harmless play but something really bad could happen.

[cheeky_starfish]

Well I've had a girl kick me in the balls as hard as she could before and I never threw up or anything like that... It was just a massive shock and of course incredibly agonising! As the initial shock and the agony of having your balls kicked gradually subsides, it does just leave you lying on the floor feeling nauseous and semi-conscious, which may be the reason he eventually threw up. It can happen, but just not very often.

I'm not going to judge or lecture you (you've clearly had plenty of that below! lol)... But if you were 'play fighting' with him, why did you choose to kick him in the balls?... You must have known it was going to put him in agony?... Even if you didn't mean to kick him as hard as you obviously did! lol

[cheeky_starfish]

As per your update, I'm pleased that your brother is OK. Boy, you must have kicked his balls pretty hard for them to be hurting for days!... Ouch!

[tebow4mvp]

It depends on a few things: If you did it super hard, if you connected directly underneath the balls(which sounds like you did, that's where it hurts the most), and also if you had like stilettos on or something crazy like that or if you were just barefoot so it wouldn't be as bad

Geez thought I couldn't imagine getting a kick that bad where they ached and throbbed for 2 days. You must have kicked so hard and directly under the sack . Did you take karate or self defense classes at some point to have that kind of a devestating ball kick.

[Asker]

I used to play soccer... :)

And no, I was barefoot. But it was the surface of my foot that, like you said, landed directly underneath the sack right into both his balls. And yes, I gotta admit it was super hard...

[tebow4mvp]

Oh wow from the soccer your legs must be strong and by how accurate you were that couldn't have been the first time you've kicked a guy in the balls. By being barefoot I'm sure you could feel the balls on the top of your foot. The few times I've gotten kicked in the balls were by my 2 friends Amber and Brianne and the both liked kicking guys in the balls and always said they preferred to do it barefoot so they could tell if they got a direct shot.

[Asker]

Sounds lovely... lol

[tebow4mvp]

just out curiousity I looked and saw your picture and from your profile picture you looked cute but from the other picture you looked real beautiful/hot, unbelieveable ass(could slap that thing and there'd be no waves) ha ha plus the accent is hot. I read the one thing about the blowjob and it sounds like you're good at sexual stuff, prob awesome in bed. I'd take one of your hard kicks to the balls to get one of those from you after ha ha jk. Hope that comment didn't upset you, you seem cool.

[Asker]

How would you know what my accent sounds like?!

[tebow4mvp]

You're from the UK so I assumed British most likely

[Asker]

Oh, well I'm not from the UK actually... lol

[tebow4mvp]

oh my bad that's what it said that's why I thought that ha ha sorry to bad british accents on girls are sexy at least to most guys from the U.S.

[MrOracle]

You DO realize that you can PERMANTLY injure a guy that way, right? As in, causing sexual disfunction or even having to have a damaged testicle removed?

If you are literally fighting for your life, then by all means, kick away. But otherwise, kicking a guy in the nuts is an extremely serious assault. The pain is probably equivalent to a female giving childbirth, so, yes, it hurts and vomiting isn't that unusual.

[milestone]

...!

[Kain6th]

Oh yes he went there! :-D

[Confused614]

lmao he did really go there.

[Kattrain]

He went there but didn't quite pull it off.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Oh he pulled it off.

[manora007]

In active sports we got similar pain many times (sometimes even when we had a protective cover) and we had to stop playing , at least for that day. Our coach had told us that any time when we get such an injury we should immediately go to the bathroom and pass urine. Please talk to your younger brother , hopefully he has no pain while urinating , or else see a urologist.

[Confused614]

As someone said feeling nauseous from it is normal. I guess if you don't have a strong stomach it could because you to vomit.

[Asker]

Weak stomach, haven't thought about that before. Thanks. Bot how are the testicles connected to the stomach so that the pain could affect it?

[Confused614]

I don't know I'm not a doctor but I've felt a good hit before and it has made me a little queezy. I don't vomit ever though.

[Confused614]

Here: link

[Asker]

Thanks!

[hALLDAY]

Its a "normal" occurrence sometimes resulting shortly after a blunt force trama incident like hitting your head hard or in this case getting kicked in the balls. Obviously not a good thing, thank god you didn't rupture a testicle or two ... would have been a gloomy future for him.

[Rashad]

I've been hit few times in my testicles but I never threw up from it. If he has medical insurance then have him checked out. I'm sure he will be fine though.

Nice body by the way :)

[Blubb]

Finally a guy who guys a normal and actually useful answer to this question, without name calling and tirades of hate. +1

[Asker]

We live in Europe, so of course we have medical insurance! ;)

And thanks... :)

[Rashad]

Oh OK :)

link according to this website. He needs to see a doctor if vomiting accured after an injure to testicles.

You're welcome! :)

[alimahadtheman]

have you lost your mind? NEVER EVER do that to a guy again. Omg I almost fained just thinking about it and I'm not even joking. Even lightly hitting some guy in the testicles is horrendously wrong.

And if a guy actually throw ups because of it, he has been severely injured in most cases. And fyi, testicular injuries have caused deaths in the past. Please don't ever EVER do this again. I'm sure you would have never done it had you known better.

[Blubb]

I've expreienced several very hard kicks in the balls before, I know how horribly it can hurt, and I've thrown up from such a kick too, so I know what I'm talking about...throwing up from it is just a REACTION, it doesn't mean there is severe injury. But sure, going to the doc to have it checked is never wrong.

[alimahadtheman]

The testicles is the most vulnerable part of a man's body, with several sensitive veins and nerves.

And these may easily get damaged. internal bleeding, clotting of blood, bruises are very commonly seen, and in some rare cases, ruptures of testicles too. This part of the body isn't protected by something like a rib cage because it contracts and expands in size. Plus, it needs to remain cool.

I seriously feel sick right now, so many people here find it funny.

[alimahadtheman]

*are the most.

and yes, I know throwing up is a reaction, but the nausea is caused when the hit is severe to begin with. Plus, this is not an adult, it's a growing child who is biologically more prone to damage.

[Blubb]

You're preaching at me as if I hadn't experienced all that myself before. I think it's just your misogyny that is speaking out of you.

[alimahadtheman]

I am not preaching you anything, I am addressing your lack of knowledge about the subject, in not opinions but undeniable FACTS. And you have proven yourself well unworthy of my attention by randomly calling me a misogynist anyways, which goes onto show the level of your maturity and intellect. Please continue with the hopeless ass kissing, and don't bother replying.

[MrJune]

It ranges from person to person in my experience. I was kicked there (Maybe not hard enough) and I was just in a lot of pain where I doubled over, a friend of mine says he couldn't walk for the rest of the day.

I've heard of people vomiting before when being kicked there, and as someone else said its kind of normal. Must have hit 'em pretty hard to.

[JackDRipper]

Yikes.

Have you ever been in a lot of pain?

Severe pain can because nausea no matter where it is coming from, like my gran throws up from migraine pains and such, it's just the body's natural reaction I guess.

Well to save your future nephews and nieces you should not ever do that again, unless you are in peril, but other wise just don't do it.

[MrEM4N]

You're terrible for kicking him in the nuts. Imagine he just grabbed your t*ts in a vice and twisted them around 3 times. Now magnify that times 3 and hold it there for over a minute because that's how long the pain from getting kicking in the nuts last.

[MrEM4N]

Test

[6Paul11]

Never, ever, do that. It is very dangerous. There are tons of nerve endings in the penis, and being hit there is extremely painful.

Think of it as a nature's taser. It is VERY painful.

You owe him an apology, an ice pack, and a cold drink of his choice.

[bioweapon154]

Hey You! What the f*** is wrong with you!?!

You play fight with your younger brother, kicking him in his private area so hard he has to go throw up and you are how old again?

I've heard its a similar experience for a woman when she gets a punch in the ****. Perhaps he should do that to you and see if you don't pass out from the pain.

It has to do with the nerves sensitivity since they are around the privates. Some sister you are.

[Journeyman11]

Gotta love the downvotes. It's different when it hits a boy, you see, because they are less worth.

[Beatrice1865]

I mean, I’ve passed out and thrown up from being kicked in the vagina. I’ve seen other girls have to throw up and shit themselves after even light backhanded slaps to the crotch. Vomiting/complete incapacitation is more typical of hitting a girl in the vagina, but a hit to the balls hurts guys almost as much as a hit to the vagina hurts girls so that would make sense.

[Jappy]

it's not a normal reaction., hitting here pain much more as nearly a lady is giving birth to a baby., if the nuts get too much hurt the a simple person and get on bed and can even be dead just because of this,.

[Asker]

Is your keyboard damaged?

[SheepdogAmongUs]

The pain causing him to vomit is not necessarily normal, he needs to be checked out by a doctor ASAP.

[RicoSuave]

WTF lol is this a joke from you and your bro?

link

[ROTFLMFAO]

wow, stop abusing your poor brother. you have no idea how sensitive a guy's balls are. I got kicked in the balls once... by a psycho girl. it's the most intense pain imaginable. I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

link

[kriskiss]

wow that's so mean if you were a guy ud understand that is probly the worst pain you could possibly get hit...never do it again...my goodness that's just nuts(no pun intended)

[tebow4mvp]

But neither of them ever did it as hard as they could or anything. Everybody has a different pain threshold. I'm sure no matter what it would hurt to take a kick like you gave to your brother. I consider myself to have a pretty decent pain threshold so for example I wonder if I could take a kick like that from you without going down haha. I've never take a super hard kick underneath the sack like that can't be as bad as your brother made it seem. No matter how perfect a kick I couldn't cry haha.
