Blue Balls Or Sperm Cramps

Sperm cramps, often referred to as epididymal hypertension or “blue balls,” can occur when there is prolonged sexual arousal without ejaculation. This sensation is due to increased blood flow and pressure in the testicles and epididymis. It’s important to note that sperm cramps are not harmful and typically resolve on their own once arousal subsides or through ejaculation. However, if discomfort persists or is severe, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.

Avoiding prolonged arousal or ensuring regular ejaculation can help prevent sperm cramps. Engaging in sexual activity or self-pleasure can provide relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and ensuring good overall health can contribute to reducing discomfort associated with prolonged sexual arousal.
