Hi Doctor,
I am now 16 years old. I have been masturbating since I was 14 years old, so it has been 3 years. Usually, I masturbated no more than 5 times a week. I masturbated on January 4th, and my penis (or the place around the penis) did not feel well for around a few days (3 or 4 days). However, I did not realize that it was because of masturbation.
Then I masturbated on January 9th and 10th, and my penis (or the place around the penis, I am not sure) started getting uncomfortable again on January 11th. Specifically, sometimes there was a little bit of pain, and sometimes there was even a muscle spasm around that area. But there was always some kind of discomfort there. I know that something must be wrong.
I did not have pain while peeing, which was great. There might be something wrong with my penis or prostate or some other organs.
Actually it was kind of weird because I used to masturbate more frequently, like nearly every day. But these days I only masturbated like no more than 3 or 4 times a week.
Do I need to go to the hospital and see a doctor? Did I masturbate too frequently? Will those symptoms get more serious? Do I need to tell my parents about masturbation? (I think my parents will get really angry)
I am now overwhelmed by fear and do not know what to do. I think I will never masturbate again.
Thank you very much for your help.
