I'm having some trouble with my lower back. While taking a bath, I bent down to soap my legs, and suddenly my lower back started hurting. The pain is now spreading to my legs, and I can't really move around much. It's tough for me to stand or sit properly, and bending down or stretching backward is almost impossible. This started happening around 11:15 am, and it's been 2 hours now. Any advice on what I should do?

Itching After Masturbation: Possible Causes and Solutions_
The itching sensation you're experiencing after masturbation could be related to several factors. Before we discuss medication, let's explore possible causes:
- Allergic reactions: You might be allergic to your own semen or lubricants used during masturbation.
- Skin conditions: Existing skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can be triggered by masturbation.
- Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to itching sensations.
- Nerve stimulation: Masturbation can stimulate nerves, causing itching or tingling sensations.
Medication and Treatment Options
To alleviate the itching, consider the following:
- Antihistamines: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or loratadine (Claritin) can help relieve itching and reduce allergic reactions.
- Topical creams: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can soothe itchy skin.
- Moisturizers: Keeping your skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers can help reduce itching.
Lifestyle Changes and Precautions
- Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands and genital area before and after masturbation.
- Avoid harsh soaps: Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers to minimize skin irritation.
- Reduce frequency: Consider reducing the frequency of masturbation to see if the itching subsides.

What's the best way to treat this condition and how long does recovery usually take Is surgery the only option or can it be delayed for a while
The best way to treat a medical condition and the timeline for recovery vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity. While surgery may be an option, it's often not the first or only choice, and it can sometimes be delayed. Recovery time can range from a few days to several months or even longer, depending on the procedure and individual factors.
