Why can any prolonged & repetitive coughing, sneezing, & blowing your nose cause discomfort to groin muscles?

its because when you cough, you stress your diaphragm muscle, which in turn pulls on the other muscles in your lower abdomen,

NO its not a disease thus its not contages\nWhat do each of these individuals have in common: First, aneighteen-year-old suddenly develops wheezing and shortness of breath whenvisiting his grandmother who happens to have a cat. Second, a thirty year oldwoman has colds that "always go into her chest," causing coughing anddifficulty breathing. Lastly, a sixty- year-old man develops shortness of breathwith only slight exertion even though he has never smoked. The answer is thatthey all may have asthma.\nThese are some of the many faces of asthma. Most researchers believe that thedifferent patterns of asthma are all related to one condition. Other researchersfeel that separate lung conditions exist. There is currently no cure for asthmaand no single exact cause has been identified. Therefore, understanding thechanges that occur in asthma, how it makes you feel, and how it can behave overtime is vital. This knowledge empowers you to take an active role in your ownhealth care.

There are two main reasons and lots of other small stuff I won't mention. One, Your nose can get blocked by secretions of mucous from the membranes that line your sinuses and nose. The mucous in normal amounts keeps the tissues moist and provides some protection for them by trapping dust, airborne bacteria and viruses, etc. and helping to move them out of your nose and sinuses. When allergy or infection irritates the mucous membranes they can secret much more mucous than normal to try and protect themselves. This kind of "congestion responds well to a decongestant such as psuedofed (OTC). Two, the other kind of stuffiness is caused by swelling of the same tissues because they are irritated. Again, breathing dust or pollen, or animal dander, etc. -depends on what you are allergic to - can cause this swelling to occur. This kind of congestion responds well to antihistamines or histamine blockers. Benadryl is the most common (OTC) histamine blocker.\n\nSometimes (pretty often actually) both things happen at once and an antihistamine and decongestant combination is presribed. They don't typically work all that well because they usually interfere with each other. I treat the worst symptom and live with the other one. Congestion caused by swelling usually produces some facial tenderness and or sinus pressure or pain. Mucous congestion usually doesn't. \n\nIf you want to avoid medicine, moist steam from a portable facial sauna can help and so can steam from a sink full of hot water - just throw a towel over your head to trap the steam and breathe for a few minutes. Even a good hot shower helps. Hope you feel better soon.\n\nFinally, If none of this works you probably have sinusitis or a sinus infection. They are hard to treat and really require access to medication you can't get without a prescription. See a doctor.

There are a couple types of hernias.  Assuming you are talking about the inguinal variety ( in the groin) symptoms a person may have include - discomfort, fullness, sharp pain in the groin, just above where your scrotum meets the pubic bone. These symptoms are often worse after heavy lifting or excercise, or at the end of a long day on one's feet.  Symptoms are often decreased or not present first thing in the morning.  My best advice would be to have your doctor examine you.

There are mucous membranes in your lungs that produce the "snot" in the same way your saliva glands produce saliva. When you are sick, these membranes are inflammed and irritated and they produce more mucous than usual.\n\nThis is why we cough -- we cough because our body is trying to expel the excessive mucous from inside our lungs. It's that little tickling sensation you get right before you cough or sneeze.

I'm sorry to be negative, but I've never found anything that stops it happening long-term. But I have a couple of ways to reduce the effects when it does happen - One is surprising: I do exercise until I'm puffing. I find that the coughing under stress opens my lungs a lot so when I am relaxed again I feel much better.  \n\nThe other is breathing in the steam from a kettle (at a safe distance of course).\n\nI've no idea if either of these has any medical basis, but they seem to work for me.

Coughing increases the intra-abdominal pressure.\nThe Dr doesn't 'cup' the scrotum while he does this..he either watches for what we call an Expansile Cough Impulse or he palpates the inguinal area to check whether a hernia is direct or indirect.....among other things.....

Sneezing is actually a reflex action to a stimuli.The nerves send the message to the brain and then you sneeze. During sleep the reflex part of your brain rests too. The irritant still annoys the nerves but  no message is sent to the brain. However if the stimuli builds the irritant to  a level registered as pain the brain will wake you and you will sneeze (but to have this part of your brain working  you need to be awake!!)Scientific Fact! :)

gggeeez.. No..  How could that be possible?  You have tons of muscles and whatnot holding them in!  That is just silly.  You can try sneezing with your eyes open, but it just doesn't happen.  There is no need to worry.

Irritants are bad for your body.  When irritants, like dirt or dust, get into your nose, the sensitive receptors in your nose detect it and expel the irritants.  Also, some of the irritants get stuck in your nose hair or your cilia (which are like smaller nose hairs basically), before they can irritate the more sensitive receptors at the back of your nasal cavity.  The sneeze prevents these irritants from polluting and irritating your lungs, because your lungs have very sensitive receptors that are easily damaged.

YEAH! why is that???\n\nNo doubt it's to do with pelvic floor muscles.  But I also read (in some nonsense book about tantric sex) that all of the circular muscles in the body are connected, which is (supposedly) why you sometimes fart when you sneeze.\n\nI mean "you" in the general sense, not you personally.  I'm sure you never fart.

Probably because your face contorts (even if only slightly when the light source is mild), and that adds to the irritation in your nostril, triggering off a sneeze.

If it was a really hard sneeze, it would not be uncommon to feel pain all the way down to the testicles. However if it happens every time you sneeze and even when it is just a light one, then it is definitely a symptom that should lead you to get checked out by a good doctor.\n\nAs for stopping the urine flow, that too will cause some discomfort especially if you choke it off really fast in mid stream. You may have had a reason to do that but you should not have. Once the river is running, do not dam it up even if a friend scares you. Always finish you pee and then react.

Mechanism of sneezing - Normally, sneezing is an involuntary reflex, which is controlled by a complex interaction of nerve fibres. A variety of receptor sites, situated in the nose, reports about the irritation or foreign substance to the brain for inducing sneezing by releasing histamine, for clearing the nose. Receptors are sensitive to infection, touch, smells of dust, chemical gases, fumes, temperature and exposure to extreme cold air and water (the main offender). Usually, sneeze begins with a deep inspiration and closed glottis, which suddenly opens after gaining pressure from contraction of the diaphragm, abdomen muscles and other muscles which compress the lungs to let out the trapped air with force through nose and mouth. So with an explosive sound, throw of air occurs as a sneeze. Sneezing also involves contraction of the muscles of face, neck and eyes. Sometimes, sneezing air speed is measured more than 120 km/per hour. Normally, people sneeze once or twice during early morning or daytime to clear the nose.\n\nFor more info, go to the source...

well...I think that`s because when you sneeze, cough or laugh hard...your diaphragm contracts and the body is concentrated very hard on that muscle.When you cough..sneeze etc. you blow out CO2 and your body tries to get rid of it with the help of every space that leads from your body outside your body, for example : when you sneeze you have tears coming out of your eyes...that`s because it`s a sensitive tissue that produces water and has to get out fast from your body in case of emergency ... like crying(because of the nerves that must relax), laughing hard etc... I hope the answer helps..and you also must consider the answer above...with the weak muscles

Well the fact is that humans cannot sneeze while asleep.\nSneezing requires a reflex mechanism, wherein the sensory nerves in our upper respiratory tract, esp nostrils, are stimulated by some stimuli (mechanical or chemical or other)and these nerves then go to the CNS (i.e brain) and as a final process excite the nerves which supply muscles pf our respiration and the pharngeal region and the man sneezes thus. You must \nknow that this reflex is a natural means to protect our sensitive upper respiratory tract from harmful influnces or, more appropriately, external influences, be it a solid or a gas or as a response to some infection. Now when the man sleeps, his brain is not working at its normal levels and so even though the man's nerves have some external factor acting upon them,\nno reflex is initiated and the man doesn't sneeze. You must also know that when the stimuli continues or crosses a particular \nlevel, it changes from an irritative agent to a source of maybe say pain and the the man can have a disturbed sleep; there is a threshold for every thing.
