I've been experiencing these sudden jerks in my head lately. At first, they were just on the left side and didn't happen that often, but now I'm feeling them on the right too. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

Groin Pain Causes_

  1. Muscle strain: Overuse or strain of the groin muscles can cause mild pain.
  2. Hernia: A hernia in the groin area can cause discomfort, especially at night.
  3. Sports-related injuries: Activities like soccer, hockey, or rugby can lead to groin strains or tears.
  4. Referred pain: Pain from the lower back, hip, or abdomen can radiate to the groin area.
  5. Inguinal canal problems: Issues like an inguinal canal cyst or abscess can cause groin pain.

Managing Groin Pain

  1. Rest and ice: Apply ice to the affected area and avoid strenuous activities.
  2. Stretching and strengthening exercises: Gentle exercises can help alleviate tension and strengthen the surrounding muscles.
  3. Pain relief medications: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage mild pain.

Consult a Specialist

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been in the habit of masturbating about three to five times a week. It used to be fine, but last year I started getting this weird needle and pin sensation and numbness in my hands. I stopped for about 10-12 days and the sensations eased up in about a week. But the moment I started again, the sensations came back the very first day. Can you help me understand what's going on with my sexual health? Are there any home remedies you'd suggest?

Your symptoms of needle-like sensations, numbness, and rapid relapse after resuming masturbation suggest a possible condition known as "neurogenic shock" or "over-stimulation neuropathy," which may be related to excessive masturbation, pelvic floor muscle tension, or peripheral nerve compression; consider home remedies like taking regular breaks from masturbation, practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation), engaging in physical exercise, and applying warm compresses to the genital area to relieve tension; however, consult a urologist, or a neurologist for personalized guidance and to rule out underlying medical conditions.

I've been dealing with chronic pain in both my legs since 2009. It started in my left leg and has now moved to the right too. Both my heels and feet are constantly hurting, and I feel this pain day and night. There's also some weakness and warmth in my legs, and at times, I feel it in my upper limbs as well. I've also been experiencing hair loss on my scalp, beard, and stomach for the last year and a half. I'm really starting to worrywhat could be causing this, and what should I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of neuropathic pain and peripheral neuropathy. For the chronic pain in your legs, a medication like Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) can be helpful. I recommend starting with a low dose of 300mg at night, and gradually increasing to 300mg three times a day as needed for pain relief. Additionally, for the symptoms of weakness and warmth in your legs, as well as any neuropathic pain in your upper limbs, a medication like Pregabalin (brand name Lyrica) can be beneficial. A starting dose of 75mg twice a day can be effective, with the option to increase to 150mg twice a day if needed. Hair loss in various parts of the body could be due to multiple factors, including nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment options for your hair loss.
