Blue balls is the slang term[1] for a congested prostate or vasocongestion, the condition of temporary fluid congestion in the testicles and prostate region caused by prolonged sexual arousal in the human male often accompanied by acute testicular pain[2] or testicular congestion due to prolonged and unsatisfied sexual excitement.[3] The term is thought to have originated in the United States, first appearing in 1916.[4]

Some urologiosts call the condition "epididymal hypertension".[5]

Research

While widely discussed, there has been scant information in the medical research literature[6] until an article by Chalett and Nerenberg in Pediatrics 2000 which found little formal data regarding the condition but concluded that "the treatment is sexual release, or perhaps straining to move a very heavy object—in essence doing a Valsalva maneuver."[7] 

Pain or discomfort due to congestion can be reduced with the use of anti inflamatory medication. This will suffice as an adequate period until release can be successful performed (singly or multiply) as situation requires to clear up said congestion.

Newly added research: Pain or discomfort could also be caused by the premature build up of sperm in the testicles, while the male knows it might anticipate an ejaculation. [({Source: VERY MANY MEN.})]

Homologous condition in women

Women can also experience discomfort due to a pelvic "heaviness" and aching if they do not reach orgasm.[8]
