Penis problems [over masturbation?]

Well i am a 20 year old male, i do smoke cigarettes and marijuana, and drink alcohol.

But other then that im  a  pretty healthy guy..

I have been masturbating since the age of about 12, and never had any problems until recently.

I would say in the last 2 years i would masturbate about 4-10 times per week.

But the last few time have felt  a bit different, my penis felt almost swollen a bit.

The last time i did it, afterwards my penis was almost shrinking and felt kind of hard even though i did not have an erection.. It goes back to normal kind of then back to smaller and hard felling..

I still get morning erections, but i feel that i cant get one while awake..

There is no pain really, and i urinate properly.. but i am ver scared i damaged my penis by over masturbating..

Please help me, pleassssssssssss..


I f you need more information let me know.


also,  i have stoped masturbating  since this has begun [about 3 days now] .

I am hoping  it will just go back to normal after a few days of healing? is that possible.

Or should i go see a doctor?

I am VERY concerned about this, even to the point of  thinking about suicide, please help me if you can, i am a complete mess..

My friends call and i dont answere, i dident even go out this weekend, i am so parinoid about this.

I have also quit smoking pot and drinking for the time being and cut down on ciggeretas alot..

what could this be?

Is my penis just straind from over use and  will heal over the next few days, or should i go see a doctor?

Wow! You guys are really obsessed w/ masturbation and porn. I realize that men have a high sex drive, but excessive masturbation to feel good and the use of porn for sexual gratification can be psychologically damaging.
Also, stressing over a perceived problem can only make the problem worse. Men have a tendency to avoid doctors if at all possible. I have learned that getting real medical advice from a medical professional is usually
the most logical course of action. It also has the tendency to put one at ease, at least if the dr is worth his salt. Are you hoping a dr or physician assistant or nurse will happen along online and diagnose your problem
sight unseen. That is delusional and dangerous.
I injured my back at work in 1986 and the next day went to the ER. because I had no improvement. This one injury has caused me great anxiety. I have had 3 surgeries on my back, have been thru physical therapy several times,
have had to stop working due to increased pain and decreased mobility (in 1995), became depressed and suicidal, had a morphine pump implanted, was paralyzed from the waist down due to pump malfunction, in a wheelchair for
2 years developing arthritis in my knees as a result, still have balance and gait problems, as well as decreased sensation in legs and a neurogenic bladder. Yet I feel lucky to be alive. My mind is constantly seeking
ways to make my wife and others happy rather than dwelling on self gratfication. I also see my dr regularly as well as several other health professionals. And I have a good report w/ my doctors and am able to trust them.
It is impossible to trust anyone who does not seem to take you seriously. You guys need to seek a good doctor and trust them. Bouncing from doctor to doctor is no why to develop trust. Not seeing a doctor regularly does
not allow the doctor to perceive the changes you all have described in your groin area. What do you expect to gain by telling your genetalia problems to those who can neither examine you nor treat you (since most here
are not in the medical field).

BTW some of you need to learn what a dictionary is for.

(20 years old)

I've been having penis pain and painful ejaculations for about a month, maybe longer.  I'm getting very worried.  I've already been to a urologist and a physician's assistant and both said that it was fine and just give it rest and time.  Well, I cut back a lot on masturbating so that I've only done it once or twice a week. (i was probably doing it 3-4 times a day over the past month or two.)  Thing is, I don't think I've ever masturbated as frequently as I have recently, and I can't remember having this problem before.

Basically the entire left side of my penis feels sore and painful and burning to the touch, but the right side feels perfectly fine.  It's really bizarre because the left and ride sides are divided exactly along the line of the opening on the penis, but only the left side feels pain.  Ejaculation makes this area hurt much worse and even seems to cause the pain to carry over to the right side for a short while

I was just wondering if any of you have had a problem like this before and if you think that masturbating at all during this time period has caused it to stay like this.  I have been abstaining since 2 days ago and I will continue to do so.

Please help.

Hey man, sorry to hear about your problems but don't overreact - this has only been happening for a few days and might return to normal very quickly.  I've been suffering with a shrinking penis for years and know exactly how it affects you but just try and relax in the short term at least.

Doctors will tell you that you can't damage your penis from masturbating but I'm no too sure.  I would say thought hat you're not masturbating more than most guys.

I know exactly what you mean by the "hard but soft" look - I think it's caused by the stress hormone.  If you check out the shrinking penis threads you'll find more information about what others have been going through but there's a good chance you're going through something completely different.

Please don't do anything rash and let us know how things develop..

I hope
