Revealed, why getting kicked in the testicles makes men feel sick and causes pain in their stomach...
- There are many consequences for men who take a hit below the belt, he says
- Testes form in the abdomen and nerves and blood vessels remain attached
- When a man's 'bits are squashed', the pain travels up into the abdominal cavity
Both men and women have long been divided over one particular question: who has it worse when it comes to pain?
However, the crippling pain of being kicked in the groin is difficult to understand unless you've experienced it.
Not only do the testicles become sore, men often feel discomfort in their stomach and experience nausea.
But why would an organ 'above the belt' reel from an impact felt below it?
This video, posted by YouTube vlogger Simon Whistler on his 'infotainment' channel, TodayIFoundOut, explains the biology.
Mr Whistler says: 'Testes originally form in the abdomen near the stomach and the kidneys.
'The nerves and blood vessels remain attached in that region, even after "the balls" drop.'
So, when a man is kicked in the testicles or has his 'bits' squashed, the pain involved travels up into the abdominal cavity.
It goes through the 'spermatic plexus', which is the primary nerve of each testicle, and then to the spine.
An increased heart rate and body temperature due to the trauma will often cause the man to sweat.
As the minutes pass, the injured testes will swell and the skin around the family jewels will appear red and feel sore to the touch.

He goes on to explain that many men also experience severe nausea, thought to be caused by a huge rush of 'sympathetic nervous system discharge'.
The body's tolerance for that level determines whether the person will be someone susceptible to actually vomiting when kicked in the testicles.
'Getting hit or kicked in the testes' can also actually damage a man's reproductive abilities.
'If the force is severe enough, it can sometimes require removal of the testicle itself.
Because of this, kicking or hitting a male in the testicles in non-self-defence situations is considered sexual assault in many countries.
