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 was diagnosed with a 5 mm stone in my urinary bladder about a week ago, and my doctor told me to take veltam 0.4. The stone passed the very next day, and now, five days later, the ultrasound showed no signs of any abnormality or stone. I can't seem to reach my doctor at the moment, so I'm wondering if it's okay for me to stop taking the medicine now. What do you think?

As the size of the stone is large thats the appropriate procedure,follow your doctors advice

I'm a bit worried because when I peed, it really hurt, and then when I wiped, it burned even more. Should I be concerned about this, or is there something I can do to help relieve the pain right now?

That could be UTI, get a complete Urine Examination and Urine culture sensitivity done and visit Physician for appropriate management and also consume plenty of fluids.
