      I’m pretty sure they don’t because there’d be a lot of girls out there with exploded ovaries if they did, and that sounds pretty painful to me. But as a guy, I don’t have ovaries, so perhaps you’d better ask Nuala or Gemma…..

      Hi libbywyatt,

      It would be a major failure in our bodies if that happened, so I guess it doesn’t, but I’ll have to leave it to Gemma or Nuala as James V suggests! 🙂

      Hi libbywatt,

      My wife sneezes really hard (on the odd occassion) and she’s usually OK afterwards so I tend to lean towards the NO answer to your question.

      Hey Libbywyatt,

      that would be a major fail in evolution if that did happen. I’m pretty sure there are no documented cases of ovary exploding due to sneezing but i suppose you never know……
