Heavy testicles / balls (details during reboot #2)

Hi ,
so now I have some time and want to go into detail of some issues (This is the second thread, first one here).
My last relapse was last Sunday, so I'm on day #6.
And actually the last 5 days were astonishingly easy (with almost no thoughts/urges).

It's difficult to describe, but many of you can probably relate to it. After no release for some days there is this feeling in the testicles, like heavy or prickle feeling, some call it bloated, or dull ache.
(And it's not to be confused with blue balls)
It's mostly not painful in that sense but definitely uncomfortable ...

Propably it has to do with the semen build-up in that time.
Update (after 6 months): see my next post.

The (or my?) problem is, this leads to more toughts about PMO, and that leads to increasing urges. So I'd like to stop this chain in the earliest possible stage. Also that can lead to wet dreams (every 1-2 weeks), which sometimes mess up everything, too.

Of course I searched for "nofap heavy testicles" and read the stuff, but it's not that helpful.
That feeling is really annoying, but I dont want to use it as an excuse for an MO-only relapse (aka "flush the system" like in the post).
These guys are also talking some stupid stuff ("just dont go over 90 days....at this point the balls become so filled with man jam they explode
it happened to a friend")

Cool showers seem to help, but it's not always possible (especially at work )

So how do you deal with that ?
Some medical backgound/information for that would be helpful, too.
I'd be grateful for advice on these questions.

 

Haha, hard evidence
Ok, as long there is none that says it's bad, I'll just deal with it and be more mindful in these situations.
Thank you both.

 

Interesting ... it seems there is a post missing here ...

Anyway, one slightly embarassing confession: It was mainly due to some newly bought trunks at that time, which had thicker seams at the height of the testicles.
Funny thing: I shower in the evening, changed new underwear, and this heavy feel & urges started -> that looked like a nofap symptom (the typical urges in evening ...)

I still have this sometimes, especially in the 3-16 days range, but it's manageable now and maximum 20-30% of the intensity before !
So it took some time, but I learned that:
* With sticking to nofap there will be larger changes in your daily physical and mental well-being , with that I mean often discomfort in the beginning, and also regular discomfort during fighting the urges (-> ok, sure, that's nothing new ...)
* Search more for external factors/changes if I face discomfort and not always blaming nofap.
* I should better look for / focus on the positve sides of nofap & the improvements.

Hey, thanks for the info.
I updated my journal and I'll post it here as well:

The current medical condition which bugs me the most (again) is his "heavy balls feeling" / testicle pain which started again last month. At the beginning of the year I went to a physician, but he didn't find anything (besides a "minor varicose") and dismissed it as stress. Wasn't that helpful ...
I agree, that stress may be a factor but the main reason is probably the first part. I just remembered spontaneously that the physician mentioned it, and I searched for it last week and also translated it to English.
So on the testicles it's called varicocele and seems people here on google/nofap often write about it.
So now I want to dig deeper now and understand what I can do.
Seems some people report improvements, while others notice it for the first time during nofap ...

I'll check if I can apply your tips to that as well and report back.
