Masturbation causing ejaculation and urination issues?
Hello, Doctor: I would like to ask if my masturbation technique is incorrect or if the frequency is too high.
Recently, the ejaculate has been white (and it feels less viscous than before), and after a few minutes, a clear fluid comes out.
Additionally, I have been experiencing some difficulty urinating (it feels incomplete), and sometimes I notice a slow urine flow, with occasional pain in the lower left abdomen.
I wonder if this is related to my masturbation technique.
During masturbation, I tend to contract my lower abdomen, which seems to help me ejaculate faster.
However, after some time, I experience the aforementioned issues, and urination has also become somewhat difficult.
Is there any solution (preferably not involving a hospital visit, as I do not want my family to know)? I hope my questions are clear to you, Doctor.
Thank you for your assistance!

Hello: It is still recommended that you discuss your concerns in person with a physician, as this will help you better understand the issues related to urination.
Typically, urination problems are not directly related to masturbation.

Understanding the issues related to ejaculation and urination, especially in the context of masturbation, can be complex and multifaceted. It’s important to approach this topic with sensitivity and an understanding of the physiological processes involved.
Firstly, the changes you are experiencing in your ejaculate, such as the color and consistency, can be influenced by several factors including hydration, frequency of ejaculation, and overall health. A white, less viscous ejaculate can be normal, especially if you have been masturbating frequently. The body produces semen from various glands, and if ejaculation occurs more often, the volume and consistency may change. This is because the seminal vesicles and prostate may not have enough time to replenish the seminal fluid fully, leading to a thinner consistency.
The transparent fluid you are noticing after ejaculation is likely pre-ejaculate fluid, which is produced by the Cowper's glands. This fluid can sometimes be released after ejaculation, especially if there is residual fluid in the urethra. This is generally normal and not a cause for concern.
Regarding your urinary difficulties, such as a slow flow or a feeling of incomplete emptying, these symptoms can sometimes be related to pelvic floor muscle tension or irritation. If you are contracting your abdominal muscles during masturbation, this could lead to tension in the pelvic area, which might affect urination. Additionally, frequent masturbation can sometimes lead to temporary inflammation or irritation of the urethra, which can also contribute to these sensations.
Pain in the left lower abdomen could be due to a variety of reasons, including muscle strain, tension, or even issues related to the bladder or prostate. If this pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to seek medical attention, even if you prefer to avoid discussing it with family.
To address your concerns without visiting a doctor immediately, consider the following suggestions:
1. Frequency and Technique: Evaluate your masturbation frequency. If you find that you are doing it excessively, consider reducing the frequency to allow your body to recover. Additionally, try to adopt a more relaxed technique that does not involve excessive tension in your abdominal or pelvic muscles.
2. Hydration: Ensure you are well-hydrated. Dehydration can affect the consistency of your semen and may also impact urination.
3. Pelvic Floor Exercises: Engage in pelvic floor exercises (like Kegel exercises) to strengthen the muscles in that area. This can help improve urinary function and may alleviate some discomfort.
4. Warm Compress: Applying a warm compress to the lower abdomen may help relieve any tension or discomfort you are experiencing.
5. Monitor Symptoms: Keep track of your symptoms. If the pain persists, or if you notice any other concerning symptoms (such as blood in urine, severe pain, or changes in bowel habits), it is crucial to seek medical advice.
6. Relaxation Techniques: Stress and anxiety can exacerbate physical symptoms. Consider incorporating relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or gentle yoga to help alleviate tension.
While these suggestions may help, it is essential to recognize that persistent or severe symptoms warrant professional evaluation. Health professionals can provide a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific situation. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and your health is paramount.
