I've been feeling really off because of this sensitivity issue with my penis after I masturbate. I hit it up and down, and then for days, it gets all tender and sore, coming and going. It's uncomfortable and bums me out. I'm uncircumcised, and a couple of days after masturbating, I touched and pressed the erect penis, and it got super sensitive where I hit it. Now, there's like a pain and itchiness where I pressed it. I couldn't pull back the foreskin completely until I was 11, but there wasn't any infection. Walking and running can feel really uncomfortable. Do you think this will go away on its own? Would love some advice.

It sounds like you may have experienced temporary sensitivity or soreness from friction or pressure during masturbation, especially around the foreskin area. This can cause discomfort and irritation, but it usually resolves with rest and avoiding further pressure or friction. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's a good idea to see a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any underlying issues.

I've noticed my urine has been a light pink color for the past few weeks. I've been masturbating a lot over the last month, and I'm starting to worry it might be connected. There's no pain when I pee, but the unusual color is really concerning me. Could this be because of my recent habits, or should I be worried about something else?

-Light pink urine is usually a sign of blood in the urine (hematuria) and is unlikely to be directly caused by masturbation. It could indicate an underlying issue like a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other conditions. It's important to consul
