JAKARTA - During sex passion is burning but the testicles feel uncomfortable, painful, and heavy are symptoms of blue balls. The term blue balls itself is used to refer to the condition of epididymal hypertension. However, while there is no medical consensus on this condition, there is very little research on this topic.

As reported by Medical News Today, Monday, November 1, blue balls is an uncomfortable condition in the testicles when stimulated and not ejaculating. This causes a temporary buildup of blood in the testicles. In full, 5 symptoms experienced by someone with blue balls include the following:

1. Testicles feel heavy and sore
2. Feel uncomfortable to mild pain
3. Testicles feel swollen
4. Sexual arousal causes arteries to carry blood to the male genitals thereby increasing blood flow to the area
5. Penis and testicles swelling is reduced after ejaculation

A man who experiences blue balls, can be overcome by one of them distracting, for example doing activities that do not arouse arousal until the symptoms pass. The condition of epididymal hypertension (EH) can also be relieved by ejaculating with masturbation.

Why are they called blue balls? Blue balls do not actually denotatively refer to blue testicles. But in some cases due to swelling caused by an increase in blood volume, the color can turn bluish.

This uncomfortable condition did not last long. Some ways to anticipate or reduce peaked arousal include:

• Focus on work or other activities that can distract.
• A useful cold shower helps limit blood flow to the genitals.
• Lie down so that the blood flow evenly throughout the body.
• Exercise to encourage normal blood flow in the body.
• Lifting something heavy to put pressure on other areas of the body.
• Warm compresses to the testicles to reduce pain.

If the above method is not optimal in dealing with blue balls, it is advisable to do a medical check-up. Pain in the testicles can also be caused by other factors, such as kidney stones, testicular torsion, injuries, sexually transmitted infections, and varicoceles.

Basically, epididymal hypertension or blue balls are harmless. The pain will disappear when having an orgasm or ejaculation or not being aroused.
