I'm a bit worried about what happens when I masturbate a lot. Can it cause side effects or maybe impact my immunity or brain function in any way? I'm curious about both the benefits and downsides of masturbating, and also what kinds of advantages there are if I decide not to do it. Could you help break this down for me?

Possible causes:_
- Hemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the rectum or anus can cause bleeding.
- Anal fissures: Tears in the lining of the anus can lead to bleeding.
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Conditions like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease can cause rectal bleeding.
- Infections: Bacterial or viral infections, such as food poisoning, can cause rectal bleeding.
- Diverticulitis: Inflammation of the diverticula (small pouches) in the colon can cause bleeding.
What to do:
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help soften stool and reduce bleeding.
- Maintain a healthy diet: Eat fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, to help regulate bowel movements.
- Avoid strenuous activities: Take it easy and avoid heavy lifting, bending, or exercise that may exacerbate bleeding.
Seek medical attention if:
- Bleeding persists or worsens
- You experience severe abdominal pain
- You have difficulty controlling bowel movements
- You notice blood clots or black, tarry stools

I've been masturbating since I was 16, and now at 29, I'm dealing with some discomfort. After I masturbate, I feel pain in my knee joints, right side of my back, and lower waist. The weird thing is, the pain sticks around for 2 or 3 days and then just disappears on its own. I'm planning to get married soon and wondering if this could affect my married life. Can you shed some light on why this might be happening and if there's any reason to worry when it comes to my future marriage?
Could be due to muscle strain and tension caused by the physical exertion involved in the act. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. Additionally, you may benefit from applying a topical pain relief gel or cream to the affected areas. As for your concerns about this impacting your marriage life, it is unlikely to be a significant issue as long as you take steps to address the pain and discomfort you are experiencing. It is important to communicate openly with your partner about any discomfort you may be feeling and to explore different sexual positions or activities that are more comfortable for you. Remember to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and consider incorporating stretching exercises into your routine to help prevent muscle strain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

The recurring pain in your testicles and penis area may be caused by epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection; it's essential to consult a urologist
