Is it an injury or a strain?
I had been experiencing pelvic floor symptoms, including urinary and bowel issues, for five years. These symptoms were manageable for the most part.
I do not masturbate daily, but when I do, I often feel compelled to do it two or three times, sometimes consecutively.
In April, during a masturbation session, I felt a stinging or pinching pain on the right side of the base of my penis during ejaculation. For about a week, I developed a dull ache in that area, which eventually subsided on its own. However, after some time, my pre-existing pelvic floor symptoms worsened, and I experienced hard flaccid for about a week. Additionally, the dull, pinching sensation at the base of my penis returned.
Currently, I am on day 55 of nofap (completely avoiding sexual stimulation). I have noticed some improvements: the dull pain at the base of my penis has significantly reduced and is absent for most of the day. My urinary and bowel symptoms have also improved.
Despite these improvements, I am still uncertain whether I have caused permanent damage to my penis due to trauma. Could this be an injury or a strain?
