I had a neighbour friend who was not a mortician but embalmed his own wife. - eviltoast

    Lost one of my testicles when I accidentally got hit during bandy practice. Scrotum turned into the size of a handball before it got better. No surgery or drainage, was told to let it be and it would fix itself.

    Had a cup and everything so just got unlucky.

      Wait, hold up… so you’re testicle just what? Vaporized? Like… there’s excess material there and if it’s no longer receiving blood it’s going to rot and decay… How did you not go septic and die?

        It just shriveled up after the bleeding and swelling stopped. Whatever is left is still there. It likely burst from blunt trauma.

            Nothing like that. It kinda got painful gradually, like stomach ache that steadily got worse over night. It got very hard to walk.

            Didn’t show anyone either, so my dad thought i was pretending when I said i felt ill the morning afte. Had to go to school. Still didn’t wanna show it and just hoped it would pass. It didn’t. Had to call grandma to come pick me up from school. Took maybe 10 days or so for the swelling to go down.

            2/10, highly recommend
