My mates sister in law with a very important message ... I'm not sure if it's work safe but it's a must watch if you're a bloke between 12 and 35

Doesnt apply to me due to age (45).........However



Age 27 I had the snip, went reasonably well la la.



Age 29 - I woke up on Christmas Eve with a pair of painful knackers, always remember as I was due to be nightshift at work and because of my aching nads I had to go sick. My boss thought I was taking the p1ss.

Got progressively worse over the Christmas break, and eventually made it to the Docs. Got examined lying down, Doc poking at my parts - NOWT ! sat me in a chair poked me - NOWT.


I explained it was fairly random when the pain arrived, Examined me standing up, him kneeling infront of me - No place for shy lads, anyway he found the spot and poked it, I nearly collapsed ontop of him - EXCRUTIATING


Couldnt drive as the pain came on without any notice, and everytime dropped me ! Couldnt walk anywhere...


3 months off work, and several trips to the consultant as they thought I had cancer of the sack contents, the finale was an ultrasound infront of 8 junior doctors and the consultant, and my nads on the wall mounted TV (in colour)


Turned out it was the vas deferens (No Im not a doctor) but when I had the snip, they corterize the end of the pipe with heat, and this is the size of a small pea ! and the infection was inside the pipe, and mobile in my nutsack.


Sometimes it was fine, then with movement the little varmint would position itself somewhere tight, I have never experienced pain like it.



Moral of the story, pay plenty of attention to your nads when your in the shower, I do.....

You truly have a lovely way with words ^^ .... You may be like me 40 something and I know it's my mates sister in law but it's well worth a watch

The video is very good, catches you out in the middle bit - EEEEEEk ! but gets to the point

i wonder how much they paid her for that?

Risk doesn't stop at 35, I didn't get it until 38, as said feel a lump get it checked out, all the blokes in a really bad way on the ward had left it until too late due to embarrassment.

Strangely disturbing that video
I too had bad spuds after too much cycling ending with John O Groats to Lands End. I think everyone at Dundee Hospital saw them but I was determined to have them sorted and went to Bupa in the end. Diagnosed eventually to referred nerve damage from the saddle but referring through the right spud. Had the ultrasound too which was quite enjoyable but yes, check them out. I personally check mine like every 10 minutes or so

Best part of the ultrasound infront of the junior doctors, was getting a wadge of blue roll stuffed under my nads by the nurse (to jack them up ) , and then getting a Mr Whippee of cold gel on them to aid the scanner move back and forth....

That reminds me to..…….…

Book my holiday in Thailand

I had a sheet around my legs then another held higher above with my fella tucked under and the spuds sticking out like the last chicken in Tesco and then just me, a blonde nurse and a dark room with lots of gel. If there was ever a time to think about Mrs Thatcher, that was it!

She can have a feel of mine any time she likes.
