The testicles and scrotum are very sensitive and vulnerable to injury. Anything from getting kicked in the groin to a bicycle or other accident can cause a testicular rupture, which occurs when the scrotum is torn away from the testicles. Any such injuries are damaging and cause extreme pain. A testicular rupture requires immediate medical attention. The pain alone will ensure there is no delay in getting medical treatment. If the trauma is severe, the testicle could be lost.
