Post-masturbation pain?
Hello, doctor.
My usual frequency of masturbation is about once a day.
A few days ago, I masturbated for an extended period, around an hour, before I ejaculated.
During the process, I would release my grip whenever I felt stimulation to allow my penis to recover.
After I finished, I experienced soreness in my testicles, groin, and lower abdomen.
I quickly went to sleep, and the next day I felt somewhat better.
However, I have had a persistent uncomfortable sensation for almost a week, similar to the feeling of my testicles being pulled upwards when I take a deep breath.
I visited a urologist, who performed a physical examination and confirmed that there was no inflammation in the testicles or varicocele.
The doctor mentioned that the discomfort was likely due to excessive pelvic congestion from prolonged masturbation and prescribed pain medication and Solaxin.
Although I feel somewhat better, I still occasionally experience that pulling sensation in my left testicle.
I would like to ask the doctor: 1.
Is it okay to masturbate? 2.
How long will it take for me to fully recover?

Hello: 1) Do not take too long; temporarily avoid masturbation.
2) If it is caused by masturbation, about a week should be sufficient.
However, it should not be repeated multiple times to extend the duration too long.
Wishing you good health.

More Info
Post-masturbation pain, particularly in the groin and testicular area, can be a common experience, especially after prolonged or intense activity. In your case, it seems that the discomfort you are experiencing is likely due to pelvic congestion or overexertion during masturbation, which can lead to temporary discomfort in the testicles and groin area.
Understanding the Causes
1. Pelvic Congestion: Engaging in prolonged masturbation can lead to increased blood flow to the pelvic region, causing a sensation of fullness or pressure in the testicles and groin. This is often referred to as pelvic congestion syndrome, which can result in discomfort or pain.
2. Muscle Strain: The muscles in the pelvic floor and groin can become strained from prolonged activity. This strain can lead to soreness and a feeling of tightness or pulling in the area.
3. Nerve Sensitivity: The nerves in the pelvic region can become more sensitive after intense stimulation, leading to discomfort that may feel like a pulling sensation.
4. Increased Sensitivity: After an intense session, the tissues may be more sensitive, and normal sensations can feel exaggerated, leading to discomfort.
Recovery Tips
1. Rest: Allow your body time to recover. Avoid any activities that may exacerbate the discomfort, including prolonged masturbation or heavy lifting.
2. Hydration: Ensure you are well-hydrated. Dehydration can exacerbate muscle cramps and discomfort.
3. Pain Management: Continue to take any prescribed pain medications as directed by your doctor. Over-the-counter NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) can also help manage pain and reduce inflammation.
4. Warm Compress: Applying a warm compress to the groin area may help alleviate discomfort and relax the muscles.
5. Gentle Stretching: Engage in gentle stretching exercises for the pelvic area to relieve tension. However, avoid any movements that cause pain.
6. Monitor Symptoms: Keep track of your symptoms. If the discomfort persists or worsens, or if you experience additional symptoms such as swelling, redness, or fever, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider.
Regarding Your Questions
1. Can You Masturbate?: While it is generally safe to masturbate, it is advisable to listen to your body. If you still feel discomfort, it may be best to take a break until you feel fully recovered. Gradually reintroducing masturbation at a lower intensity may help gauge your comfort level.
2. Recovery Time: Recovery can vary from person to person. Typically, if the pain is due to pelvic congestion or muscle strain, you may start to feel better within a few days to a week. However, if symptoms persist beyond this timeframe, or if you have concerns about ongoing discomfort, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Conclusion
In summary, the discomfort you are experiencing is likely a result of overexertion during masturbation, leading to pelvic congestion and muscle strain. By allowing your body time to heal, managing pain appropriately, and monitoring your symptoms, you should see improvement. If discomfort continues, do not hesitate to seek further medical advice. Your health and comfort are paramount, and addressing any ongoing issues with a healthcare professional is always the best course of action.
