I'm having trouble getting my penis to become fully hard, even when I'm aroused. I have a feeling it might be because I've been masturbating quite a bit lately. Could this be affecting my ability to get a proper erection? Any advice on what I should do?

I've been having this issue where I was masturbating and it got a bit rough, and now I think I might've pulled a vein or something. Its been a month and whenever I get an erection or need to pee, I feel a bit of pain. It feels like it's getting worse since I havent really stopped having sex or masturbating since it started. Can you recommend any ointment or something that might help relax my veins and speed up recovery?

No need to worry take some rest.give some time for it to heal.do not attempt to do such activity for a while,if its bothering you more,visit Urologist for appropriate management.
