Medical Video: Are Blue Balls Real?

Is that blue balls?

This anxiety and restlessness until you can ejaculate is commonly referred to as blue balls.
In the medical world, blue balls is known as epididymal hypertension. This occurs when the penis erection is prolonged without an orgasm ending. When you are aroused, the heart will drain blood to the penis to build an erection. At the same time, the testicles are attracted to the body to prepare semen. If the situation and condition are right, the erection will end in ejaculation of semen so that the penis can return to its original weight.
But when there is an interruption so that ejaculation fails or is delayed, blood triggered by hypersensitivity previous sexual stimulation will continue to flow to your intimate organs. As a result, the penis will continue to erect and the testicles will swell, feel heavy / full, and hurt.
