Which hurts the most: labor or kicking in ...?

If you are a man, you will never know what labor pain is like, and if you are a woman you will never know how a kick in the testicles hurts. But, after all, which of the two pains is greatest? How can you compare them?

The video published by the ASAP Science crowd makes a very good comparison of both types of pain. First, we need to understand what pain really is. It is a nervous response to a physical stimulus. This response occurs through brain connections that occur through neurons.

There is a unit of measurement known as “del” that calculates pain levels. According to research, the human body can handle about 47 dels. From this, to have a means of comparison, it was established that childbirth causes 57 dels, the equivalent of feeling 20 bones being broken at one time.

On the other hand, the much feared kick in the testicles could cause 9, 000 dels. If you think these numbers already show what hurts the most, you're wrong. First, because this unit of measurement is not yet recognized by science, and second, because other comparisons are needed to establish pain levels.

If you are a man and you get a nice kick in your play area, you should feel this immeasurable, untold pain for a few seconds, minutes at most. However, if you are a woman giving birth to a baby, be prepared to endure suffering for 8 hours, which is the average duration of a birth.

The region of the testicles is surrounded by supersensitive nerves that respond to pain very easily. These nerve cells make a connection with the stomach, and once activated, this organ pushes the "central vomit" button and the pain is so severe that it causes nausea, not to mention, of course, the increase in heart rate, blood pressure. and sweat production.

On the other hand, the uterus is surrounded by cells that act in the same way as those mentioned in the previous paragraph. It is common, therefore, for women in labor to suffer the same symptoms as men struck by low blows.

The truth is that the pain is relative and always depends on how your physical condition, your mood and, of course, your previous experiences related to suffering. It is therefore possible for a woman in labor to feel more pain than a man who was kicked in the penile region. Similarly, the opposite can also happen. There is no way to define which pain is worse or more intense, and it may hurt you a little that there is no remedy: we will have to live with it.
