Mild discomfort when first wearing the ring is normal. However, sharp and continuous pain, even after removing the ring, is not normal.
If you feel discomfort, remove the ring and try wearing it again once the discomfort subsides. Forcing through the discomfort can make it worse. If the pain is sharp, seek medical advice, as it may indicate an underlying condition.
Possible causes of discomfort
Discomfort is usually felt in the testicles, but there is still limited scientific data on the exact reasons. Some possible explanations include:
- Relaxation of the vas deferens: The ducts carrying sperm are less twisted when the testicles are elevated, which may cause a temporary sensation of discomfort. This usually occurs at the start and then only a few times a year at random.
- Testicular compression: In an elevated position, the testicles absorb shocks differently and may feel compressed, especially in tight clothing or certain sitting positions. Lack of movement in the pubic area may also contribute.
- Postural factors: Discomfort may vary depending on whether you are lying down, sitting, or standing.
Your body needs time to adjust to these new sensations. Start gradually and increase wearing time over a week:
Days 1-2: Wear for 2 hours per day
Days 3-4: Increase to 4 hours per day
Days 5-6: Increase to 10 hours per day
Day 7 and beyond: Wear for 15 hours per day
If the pain persists or feels too intense, stop using the ring and seek medical advice if needed.
