Doctors Say Women Can Experience ‘Blue Vulva’

Men have long complained about “blue balls”— but the phenomenon is not specific to men. Women can also suffer “blue vulva” after sex, according to a urologist. And it is all down to a rush of blood to the genitals during arousal, which causes an uncomfortable feeling for both men and women.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, which she uses to dispel medical disinformation, an associate professor of surgery at the University of Maryland, said “blue vulva” occurs when women are “aroused and don’t achieve climax.” The urologist explains that as blood vessels narrow in the vulva, uterus, and ovaries, this blood build-up can cause an uncomfortable heaviness. Thankfully, it’s not dangerous.
