Thanks for feedback.

Pain after urination and ejaculation with discomfort in the perineal region is suggestive of infection of the prostate (Prostatitis) secondary to excessive masturbation .

Get your urine and semen culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which thy are sensitive to,

In the mean while start taking broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefiexime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

You may need to take antibiotics for 4 weeks .
