[QUOTE=Duke of Rat] That was probably me. I pinched a quite a bit larger hole in my penis/upper scrotum while changing out tong heads on a drilling rig. Much blood ensued, but like the OP I didn’t notice it right away. There was quite a bit of pain when it happened, but pain on a drilling rig is pretty much a constant. Never expected blood. [/QUOTE] Actually, I meant **Quartz**. This happens often?! :eek: You guys are way braver than me! ---

Wondering if this is a common thing, I asked my husband just now “have your balls ever bled spontaneously?” “Um. No. Why?” “Well, apparently it happens.” “I don’t go to the doc for many things, but my balls bleeding would be number one.” ---

I pulled my boxers off once and noticed that they were bloody. Humm, checked again and I didn’t have breasts, still couldn’t remember my mother’s birthday or any other signs of feminization so I ruled out a period. Close examination showed that there was blood coming from a spot on the urinary meatus, (the opening of the urethra). I wasn’t in a particular relationship and was sexually active, and while I had tried to be careful, one never knows, so I hurried down to a local clinic. It was my first visit to the clinic, so I had to fill in the questionnaire about the reason for going. After a brief internal debate, the desire to avoid causing watching the young receptionist’s reaction to “bloody penis” won, so I wrote “possible SD?” The really nice doctor, (fortunately male) said that it was just a sore which could be caused by it rubbing against the boxers, and seems to happen more in the summer. He gave me a prescription for an ointment. The drop-dead gorgeous pharmacist sort of smirked as she gave me the medicine, since the doctor had specified where it was to be applied. ---

A slight hijack but along the lines of men avoiding the ER/doctor: Years back, my husband was working around the garage. He clipped a piece of wire (small gage) and the cut end hit him in the chest. It must have hit a vein because he had a small stream of blood pouring out. It wouldn’t stop so he went to the ER, which was very busy. After waiting a bit, he went home, got out his soldering iron and cauterized the wound. It stopped bleeding. I wouldn’t recommend this for your scrotum, however. ---
