Is this a terrifying consequence after masturbation???


Doctor...
I've been under a lot of stress lately, so I've been masturbating more frequently, almost once a day.
Yesterday, after I finished, I suddenly felt some discomfort in my testicles, like a tightness.
However, when I checked, everything seemed normal! When I went to the bathroom, urination was smooth and normal.
But I still feel a bit uncomfortable in my testicles.
During the process, I didn't use much force, and I definitely didn't hit my testicles.
Why did this suddenly happen? Is there something wrong with my body? I'm really scared...
I'm still a student and I'm worried.

You're overthinking it! It's nothing to worry about! During ejaculation while masturbating, it's normal to experience contractions in the lower abdomen, and the testicles and spermatic cord may feel tense; that is a normal response.

More Info


Experiencing testicular discomfort after frequent masturbation can be concerning, especially for someone who may not fully understand the physiological responses of the body. It’s important to recognize that while discomfort can be alarming, it is often not indicative of a serious medical issue.
Masturbation is a normal sexual activity that many individuals engage in, and it can vary in frequency from person to person. When done in moderation, it is generally considered safe and healthy. However, excessive masturbation can lead to temporary discomfort or soreness in the testicles or surrounding areas. This discomfort may be due to several factors, including muscle tension, overstimulation, or even minor trauma to the area, even if it feels like no significant force was applied.

The testicles are sensitive organs, and they can react to various stimuli. If you are experiencing stress, this can lead to muscle tension throughout your body, including the pelvic region. This tension can manifest as a feeling of tightness or discomfort in the testicles. Additionally, frequent ejaculation can lead to temporary swelling or sensitivity in the testicles, which may also contribute to the discomfort you are feeling.

It’s also worth noting that the discomfort you are experiencing does not seem to be accompanied by other concerning symptoms such as pain during urination, swelling, or changes in the appearance of the testicles. The fact that you mentioned urination is normal and that the testicles feel normal upon examination is a positive sign. This suggests that there may not be an underlying infection or serious condition at play.

If the discomfort persists, it may be beneficial to take a break from masturbation for a few days to allow your body to recover. During this time, you can also practice relaxation techniques to help alleviate stress, which may be contributing to the discomfort. If the discomfort continues or worsens, or if you develop additional symptoms such as severe pain, swelling, or fever, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

In summary, while it is understandable to feel anxious about any discomfort in the testicular area, it is often a temporary issue related to muscle tension or overstimulation. Monitoring your symptoms and allowing your body some time to rest can often resolve the discomfort. However, do not hesitate to seek medical advice if you have any concerns or if the symptoms do not improve. Your health and peace of mind are important, and a healthcare provider can offer reassurance and guidance tailored to your specific situation.
