bolas hinchadas/ dolor de huevos

Explanation:
Hola Michael. Por lo que estuve viendo, al igual que las otras expresiones, es de uso muy coloquial e informal, al igual que las otras expresiones. La segunda es muy común en Argentina. Es el resultado de una extrema necesidad de satisfacción sexual que no puede concretarse

44 mins confidence:

excitado (sexualmente)

Explanation:
Mike: Aunque la verdadera respuesta ya fue ofrecida por una colega (dolor testicular), creo que se podría usar excitado debido a que la condición ocurre cuando el hombre se excita por una u otra razón no puede eyacular, y esto le produce dolor.
* you ever heard someone ask you, "What are blue balls?" "Blue balls" is a slang term referring to testicular aching that may occur when the blood that fills the vessels in a male's genital area during sexual arousal is not dissipated by orgasm.
*Blue balls derive their name not from the sorrow their condition inspires, but from the color of your testicles. That's right, depending on the severity of the condition your balls really can take on a bluish tinge, although technically it's not your testicles themselves but the skin of the scrotum that turns blue
