Medical exams are an important part of our health regimen, and most aspects of it are pretty painless. However, there’s one part of the physical that remains as confusing as it is uncomfortable, no matter how old you get: The testicle exam. When a doctor holds your testicles and asks you to cough, they are checking for a hernia — specifically the intestines pushing through into your testicles. A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place, and although they are most common in the abdomen, according to Healthline,...

The shift to remote work has been life-changing for many working adults, like those who have disabilities or are caregivers to family members, and surveys show Americans as a whole love working from home.

For quite some time now, one of the standard requirements to stay in the United States Navy has been the annual ritual of having to pass a basic physical fitness test.
