What Causes Swelling And Hardness In The Testicles After An Intercourse?
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

Hello
Thanks 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 .
