I don't usually masturbate regularly, but when I do, I end up with this annoying pain in my lower back that sticks around for like a week or more. If I happen to do it again before the pain goes away, it just gets worse. The pain's really bothersome, making it tough to walk or even lie down comfortably. I'm thinking it might have something to do with my prostate gland, but I'm not really sure. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like the pain youre experiencing could be related to muscle strain or tension in your lower back, rather than directly involving your prostate. However, if the pain is persistent or worsening, I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions such as prostate issues, muscular problems, or nerve involvement. They can help provide a more accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with a urethral stricture for the last 3 years and have been doing dilation regularly. Now I'm considering surgery what are my options and is it the right time to go for it

Endoscopic urethrotomy.This procedure uses a thin, tubelike tool that has a lens, called a cystoscope. The cystoscope goes into the urethra. Then a tool is put through the cystoscope to remove the stricture or treat it with a laser. This surgical procedure has a faster recovery than do some other procedures.
