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.

I'm noticing a vein in the lower part of my right penis that looks pretty concerning. Ive attached some photos for reference. Do you think I should see a doctor about it, or is it nothing to worry about? Everything else seems fine; my erections and ejaculations are normal. I also masturbate pretty regularly, about 3 to 4 times a day. What do you think?
