Studies have also found that symptoms of blue balls happen more frequently in teens, but may occur in adulthood as well.
Symptoms of Blue Balls
An individual experiencing the symptoms of blue balls will feel a heavy, aching pain in their testicles after being sexually aroused and before reaching orgasm.
The pain should not be too serious and persists while the person is aroused and the penis is erect.
Some may even have a bluish tinge on their scrotum due to the heightened blood pressure in the area. This is where the term blue balls originates from.
Symptoms of blue balls do not last. Once the individual is able to release sexual tension via ejaculation and the penis is no longer erect, the individual will find relief.
Treating Blue Balls
Reducing the pressure on the epididymis will resolve the symptoms of blue balls. In order to do that, the excess blood in the genitalia from arousal must flow back out.
