A member asked:

Due to over masturbation, i have sciatica pain , is it temporary or will persist forever??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually temporary: Should quiet down as the inciting issue is controlled. Muscle spasms can aggravate "sciatica" so try and take it easy...

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed

A member asked:

I was diagnosed with a mild concussion about 4 days ago. After 3 days of rest, I felt better and decided to masturbate. Even though i didn't cum, I still felt very dizzy and "off" for the rest of the day. Is this likely a temporary set back? Serious?

A member asked:

Lately, whenever I masturbate, there's mild pain in the midsection of my penis which persists until shortly after I finish: a sort of pain that feels like a small object is lodged within my urethra. Any ideas for diagnosis, causes, and/or treatment?
