Did you know THIS about your Testes?

Men use the term "blue balls" to describe the painful aching they feel in their testicles when they become very aroused but don't get any release. Sure it's unpleasant, but we're not talking severe pain here...it shouldn't be anything more than mildly uncomfortable (for all the drama kings out there).

The medical term for blue balls is epididymal hypertension (EH), and it happens when the blood vessels to the penis and testicles expand to make room for increased blood flow, Dr. Reitano says, which is how a man gets an erection. (His penis isn't the only thing that grows when a guy is turned on...his balls also can double in size, seriously.) The blood flow subsides after an orgasm, but if orgasm doesn't happen, he'll just have to wait for it to decrease...which is where the discomfort comes in.
