"degloved scrotums attend the Accident and Emergency departments of hospitals each year. In one famous case involving an electric shoe-shining belt, the injured man tried to staple his torn scrotum together with an industrial stapler and only later discovered he was missing a testicle. "

Scares the hell out of me.. I always suspected there is protection with that thick chamois between you and the saddle.

If the shorts are twisted a bit, and the goods work their way to past the edge of the chamois (which I think is what happened), all bets appear to be off.

Hmmmm, this could explain it. Maybe there was a weak spot on your scrot that gave under a little extra pressure. You should probably angle your seat down to compensate. Maybe a little strategically placed duct tape for reinforcement.
Seriously though, glad your ok, my nuts want to retreat into my abdomen every time I think about this.

Well, sometimes ya just gotta look at the bright side...at least you didn't have to go chasin your nuts as they rolled down a long steep hill you just climbed. 
Dude, get some better shorts...or better yet, bibs. You don't need no stinkin thick chamois.

if this isn't BS, the sockpuppet currently known as BustaGuad better have gotten some medical attention post haste.
i'm not a doctor, but i did get a merit badge in 1st aid. on top of that, there's probably a VERY good reason why urologists don't make an incision on the scrotum when performing an orchiectomy.

Yeah, me too. Thing is, the shorts I wear, or should I say wore, on my TT rig have this really heavy chamois that hangs down (think diaper) when you're not sitting down.

No Rx for antibiotics?
I seem to recall the limit for stitches is something like 6 hours?
so what it was like 9 or 12 hours later that you went to see your doctor?
heal quickly.

And I do know that if an injury gets too old to close up, they can just trim it to make it fresh. Especially in an area like that.

This was my GP, not a urologist. He didn't have a problem fixing me up as this was really just a torn skin issue. I'm pretty sure that, had this been any type of blunt force injury that involved the jewels, he would have sent me to a urologist.
The local wore off hours ago. It's really more of an itchy/stinging feeling than anything else. Walking ain't fun, though.

I've caught the nose of my saddle on my chamois before but never to this extent! Yowzer.
Besides being a member of the V-club, I also have a related injury story. In high school, I was playing one-on-one BB with my friend one day at my house. He was backing into me to get closer to the basket. He faked going up and I bit. As I started coming down, sliding against his back, he went up. He had two pencils in his back pocket...pointing up. I had to dig two pencil tips out my sac and then go tell my mom. She handed me a bottle of alcohol and some cotten swabs, told me to go clean it really well and to let her know if I needed to see the doc.
And in yet another related story...for many years at my daughter's school's annual Silent Auction fundraiser, one parent, a Urologist, each year donated a vasectomy. It was funny to watch the men cruise by the table to make sure their wives weren't bidding on it. Funnier still...the guy's name was Dr. Richard Chopp...but his friends called him Dick!
