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'm noticing that my foreskin and glans have become red, and sometimes there's a bit of irritation on the foreskin, with a burning-like feeling. Right now, I'm using coconut oil during the day and Nizral cream at night. I'm wondering if I should consider getting circumcised to solve this issue, or if there's something else I could try first. Any advice?

Had a vasectomy in December but still noticing white semen during ejaculation. Is this normal or should I be concerned about the surgery not working properly?

It's normal to have white semen after a vasectomy. While the vasectomy prevents sperm from being carried in the semen, the body still produces fluids and other substances that make up the ejaculate, which usually appear white or cloudy.
