Protect that groin.

also for males it can cause testicular tortion.....bad stuff..... it can cause the testicals to rupture internally and can actually kill as well....i'm not saying it's better for females....i've taken a good couple of shots to that area...but it seems more common for the guys to get kicked in the genitals....as the myth survives that it doesn't hurt girls as much...

That sounds bad.The vulva is highly sensitive and a blow can be incompasitating and cause a extream level of pain as well! :And neko-shojo I here you, testical torsion can be bad.And on ovarian torsion is just as serious and causes acute lower abdominal pain in woman.And it strikes 70% of women that are under 30 years of age.Furthermore it is the 5th most common gynecological surgical emergency and there are no methods of prevention.And as far as guys getting kick it could be more men are in more combative type of sports than women.When you see more women in these types of sports they will have more injurys.And boomerange that sound awful!And I hope you are better.About five years ago I saw a female friend go into shock quite fast after a sever blow into her genitals .And she could have died but thank God she got into emergency surgery in time!!!As I can remember she was in the hospitial 3 or 4 weeks and out of work for a long long time! :bawling:And even 4 years later after the injury from time to time she still has stabing pain in her genitals!Could be from nerve damage or a forum of vulvodynia?Not sure?I do not mean to beat you over the head with the biology book but it is my first post.

Where I go, it's never been stressed to wear a cup, and we don't spar too often. Should I still wear one?
