Discomfort After Masturbation: Common Urology Concerns

Discomfort after masturbation?

Hello doctor, I have recently started masturbating (2 to 5 times a month).

1.
After ejaculation during masturbation, I feel some discomfort in my buttocks and penis, but it goes away after resting for a while.
Is this normal?
2.
Before and after experiencing nocturnal emissions, I feel some pain in my buttocks and penis.
What could be the cause?
3.
There is a slight bump at the very tip of my urethra that is a bit red.
I didn't understand how to clean my foreskin before and have had inflammation in the past.
Are these two related?
4.
Sometimes I feel some pain in my testicles.
Is this related to development?
Thank you, doctor!

Experiencing some discomfort after ejaculation and the symptoms you described do not seem to indicate any issues.
When masturbating, it's important to pay attention to lubrication (to avoid injuries) and cleanliness (to prevent infections).
Here are some recommendations: 1.
Avoid wearing tight and warm clothing.
2.
It is advisable to wash with only water and avoid letting the glans come into contact with any chemical substances.
Try this for a period of time.
3.
After showering, use a hairdryer to dry off.
4.
Make sure to dry off after urinating.

More Info

It's important to address your concerns regarding discomfort after masturbation and other related urological issues. Let's break down your questions one by one.

1. Discomfort After Ejaculation: Experiencing mild discomfort in the genital area after ejaculation can be relatively common, especially if you are new to masturbation. This discomfort may be due to muscle tension or irritation from friction during the act. As long as the discomfort subsides after a short period and does not persist, it is generally considered normal. However, if the pain becomes severe or lasts for an extended time, it would be wise to consult a healthcare professional.

2. Pain Before and After Nocturnal Emissions: Nocturnal emissions, or "wet dreams," can sometimes be accompanied by sensations of discomfort or pain in the genital area. This could be due to the buildup of semen, which can cause temporary pressure or discomfort in the prostate or surrounding tissues. If the pain is significant or if you notice any other unusual symptoms, it may be worth discussing with a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

3. Redness and Bumps at the Urethral Opening: The presence of a small bump and redness at the urethral opening could indicate a few things, including irritation, inflammation, or a possible infection. If you have a history of not properly cleaning the area, it could lead to conditions such as balanitis (inflammation of the glans) or other infections. It's crucial to maintain proper hygiene, especially if you are uncircumcised, as this can help prevent such issues. If the redness and bump persist or worsen, seeking medical advice is recommended.

4. Testicular Pain: Occasional testicular pain can occur during puberty due to the rapid changes your body is undergoing. This can include growth and development of the testicles and surrounding structures. However, if the pain is persistent, severe, or accompanied by swelling, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider to rule out conditions such as testicular torsion or epididymitis.

In summary, while some discomfort after masturbation and during nocturnal emissions can be normal, it is essential to monitor your symptoms. Maintaining good hygiene practices is crucial, especially if you have experienced inflammation in the past. If you notice any persistent or severe symptoms, it is always best to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. Remember, open communication with a doctor can help alleviate concerns and ensure your urological health is on the right track.
