Blue balls???

There is more to sex than an erect penis. How do you maintain your sexuality both for yourself and for your partner? What techniques do you use to give both of you a great, satisfying sex life? How do you explore your own body and sexuality now that the rules have changed?

Epididymal hypertension (blue balls) is common shortly after a prostatectomy. Given how long it has been since yours, perhaps you should check with your urologist.

Good recommendation to see a Urologist. There are a couple of underlying medical conditions that could cause your symptoms. If it is in fact EH, the situation should resolve, but things like epididymitis, kidney stones or varicoceles could mimic EH.

Yes. If I don't empty my boys at least once a week they feel swollen and get sore. However, the soreness is not what I call pain. If you are having pain it may be good to see a urologist.
BTW- Masturbation is not sick or gross.
