A member asked:
Is there any other way to get rid of blue balls without ejaculating? would any medication work? could i just put ice packs?

"Blue balls": The condition you describe is most often due to prolonged erection. The erect penis, although engorged with blood, actually has ver low blood flow in and out . This "ischemia" due to poor oxygen delivery to the penis tissue eventually causes severe penile pain which often is referred to the scrotum and testes. Ejaculation typically causes the erection to subside. Thus, blood flow improves.

Vascular congestion: Most frequently relieved by ejaculation. Ice pack plus lying on your side with hips slightly flexed is worth trying. 600 mg (3 x 200 mg tabs) Ibuprofen worth trying if pain persists. Problem will clear up as you get older &/or have regular sex. Good luck.
