hello Doctor, I am a 22 year old man with no previous medical issues in regards to my testicles. however at the moment I am a little worries about the tails of both my right and left epididymis. after ejaculation they both become hard and a little swollen. My ejaculations have always been consistent and full with no pain. In addition I have no pain urinating or in general in regards to my testicles and penis. any idea what the issue could be? sometimes when I feel my testicles everything feels fine, the tails of my epididymis both feel fine- soft squishy and relatively small. however, during or post ejaculation they feel hard and swollen. In addition they feel swollen sometimes just out of the blue Thanks for your reply I m just very curious as to what can be going on down there
HelloThanks for query. During sex and ejaculation there is increased blood flow to all genital organs including testicles and epididymis. This increased blood flow results in congestion of genitals organs. The hardness of epididymis that you have observed is due to congestion of epididymis and testicles which gradually gets resolved over a period of few hours. It should be considered as normal physiological process. There is nothing to be worried about it. Chat Doctor.
