Why do my balls hurt when I sneeze?

So i'm sick with a cold (prob due to work/dealing with many kids) and i'm sneezing a lot. These aren't you're normal sneezes either, they're the type that can blow stacks of paper down. So I sneezed a really strong and I felt this very sharp pain right below my balls (like in-between my balls and my ass hole), that area.. it's similar to the pain you pay occasionally feel after taking a long piss and you're clean dry out. I don't remember feeling this before though, what does it mean? Am I alone on this one? (note it only happened once so far)

People get hernias all the time from sneezing. It's rare to actually get a hernia from lifting something heavy because your body prepares for it. But sneezing? You get caught of gaurd.
 
My left arm goes slightly to pretty numb when I sneeze. That could have something to do with my high blood pressure but I heard somewhere that when you sneeze, another muscle (or set of muscles) in your body fail(s) since it catches your mind off-guard. The validity of that statement is questionable, however.

My whole body often aches and hurts when I sneeze. Im probably dying.

I don't have a proper explanation for this, but this happens to me too. Best that I can figure is that when you sneeze, parts of your body tighten up, dare I say "clench," as an involuntary reaction to the sneeze. That area of your body is affected by this "clench."

It's like a taint charlie horse.

does it hurt if you touch the area when not sneezing? i think there's lymph nodes in the area that can swell there with some sort of infection.

could also be a hernia or a few other things

I'm not going to play like I dont know what you're talking about because I get the same thing too. happens like once every couple months though. feels like too much blood is trying to squeeze through to small of a vein. pain is located squarely in my prostate.

There's also a common spinal nerve issue related to sciatica. Do you ever get pain in your arms or hands when you sneeze? If you do, you should consult a back specialist.

Ah, that makes sense. At least i'm not alone, I was getting worried. :lol

Definitely not normal as far as I know. :d (fakeedit, read outerworldvoices post)

Grabbing balls = mild pain, obviously. Touching the area ("taint/gooch" apparently) is normal.. besides the mild pleasantness i guess.

BTW i've always wondered what that awful smell some people give off after sneezing? it seems to be universal as far as I can tell, but it's a really bad stench.

I can't believe no one knows (or at least no one has told him) the true reason in this topic, yet:

- When you sneezed that one time, your balls flew back and smacked against your taint/leg, causing a sharp pain.

Lemme guess, you were wearing boxers or something else loose-fitting down there, and not briefs?

I was about 16 once and fell out of the back of the pickup truck and this caused a CRAZY sharp pain, in my balls. I thought I'd torn my scrotum or something. Every couple years or so a violent movement would cause a similar pain. Once day I finally had an epiphany and figured out what was happening. :lol

I meant may* occasionally feel. Happens to me every once in a while (once a month or so?), you're giving me something else to worry about now. :s
I'd go to a doctor, that's not normal. None of this is.

Not if it's on his taint.Wouldn't the tortion be closer to the nut or on it?
Wow..I was just joking.

Besides. Testicular Torsion (lol spelled it wrong in my previous post) is when your balls do a 180 in their sack.

Happened to me once. I was walking around in my home when I suddenly sneezed. I experienced what you described, but it felt more like a cramp and lasted for about half a minute or something. Luckily thete was a large piece of furniture nearby, or I wouldn't have been able to stand upright :lol

I asked you for clarification, plus, I know what it is. I just not remember how it goes about. :p

I had to get tested for a mystery pain in my testicals... needless to say; A piss test, an ultra-sound on my boys and being was felt up by three different men all in one week, still a mystery pain.

ORLY? I started getting pain in the arms after sneezing in the last year and wondered WTF was going on.
