How Can Dark Colored Urine And Stinging Sensation During Masturbation Be Managed?
Question: Hey doctor,
For the last 2 months now I have been having a stinging pain on and off when I urinate and the urine is usually quite yellow and bubbly when it does sting. I find if I drink a lot of water and my pees clear that it won’t sting but most of the time I don’t drink a huge amount. Is this something that needs to be investigated further? When it first starting happening I went to my doctor and he got me to do a couple of urine tests and a renal ultrasound looking at my bladder etc which all came up clear and I have never had sexual relations so I don’t think it would be an sti. But what I think it might be is my masturbating habit which I usually do every day. I have done some research and I think the stinging originates from the way I masturbate.
I think the face-down method I have been doing for the last 5-6 years now has caused damage or this “Traumatic Masturbation Syndrome”. Thus why I am having the stinging sensation and ache like pain in my bladder/prostate area. Now my question is how long would I have to stop masturbating for it to repair I have read online between 60-90 days should it be further checked out by an urologist or can I try and stop to see if it gets better can that type of trauma caused by the way I masturbate be the reason for my symptoms as there is no infection or anything otherwise and if so how would I fix it would giving it time to heal be the best thing to start off with?

Brief Answer:
You need to increase your water intake.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems that you need to increase your water intake. The fact that your urine is yellow/dark coloured indicates that the water intake is inadequate. This leads to stagnation of urine and leads to proliferation of the normal bacteria that are present in urine. This is possibly the reason of the stinging sensation and unless you increase your water intake, it would possibly lead to urinary tract infection (UTI). I would insist you to get your urine tested for routine microscopy and culture sensitivity. Please upload the reports when they are available and I will guide you accordingly.
Try to reduce the amount of masturbation. Too much of anything is not good. Psychological dependence can lead to various problems. The stinging sensation is seemingly unrelated but is unlikely to resolve with time unless you take the requisite steps.
Feel free to write back.
Regards

I’ve already had those tests and they came out all fine along with the ultrasound I also get pain in my prostate region too, but yeah I’m going to stop masterbating for a while and see if it helps because I’ve also had anxiety growing up and my bladder has always been weak since I was a kid because of it how much water should I be drinking a day? I weigh around 56kg and I am 175cm tall.
