Question : Since last year, I am facing a weird issue. Whenever I masturbate standing up, while I'm ejaculating I get a sensation of pain in the region where my body and right leg meets. It goes away as soon as the process is over. After that for 2-3 times a week after, I get slight sensation of pain as if some nerve is getting stretched. It goes away after a week or so. If I don't masturbate I don't get any such pains. But as soon as I start masturbating, the sensation comes up. I showed this to a urologist and he told me that during excitement this can happen. I also did a test (I can't remember the name) where my liver was examined and prostrate was examined too. Results were fine. Initially the pain was not there when I masturbated in seating position or lied down but now I'm experiencing it in those positions as well. I asked a sexologist about this problem and he told me to consult a orthopaedic doctor.

Brief Answer:
Can be a muscle spasm.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the right groin during masturbation can be due to a muscle spasm due to the excitement. This can happen due to a decreased fluid intake. It can be a normal physiological process also and not indicative of any pathology. Since any infections of the prostate has been ruled out there is no need to worry.
You can try having adequate fluids- specially electrolyte rich fluids before masturbation. Also, doing [passive and active stretching exercises of the muscles in the area will also help in preventing the spasms.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Is this going to be a permanent problem? I mean does this muscle spasm get rectified on it's own or will it stay permanently now? Its been more than 1 year and I can't seem to get rid of it.
