SpecialtyUrology

Blue balls is a slang term[1] for the condition of temporary fluid congestion (vasocongestion) in the testicles accompanied by testicular pain,[2] caused by prolonged sexual arousal in the human male without ejaculation.[3] The term is thought to have originated in the United States, first appearing in 1916.[4] Some urologists call this condition "epididymal hypertension". The condition is not experienced by all males.[5]

Research

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

The condition is sometimes associated with certain demographics, such as men who are experiencing delayed ejaculation or inhibited ejaculation.[8]
