Question
Hi,
I'm a teenager, and sometimes I masturbate a lot. Yesterday, i masturbated a TON, and ended up ejaculating for my first time.
When I woke up today, there were 2 swellings on either side of the penis, right below the head. They cause me no pain unless I squeeze them hard. Also, my penis has a little bit of pain when i touch it, but only a 3-4 on a pain scale of 1-10. I am circumcised.

From what I've read online, I suspect that i masturbated too much and/or too vigorously, and this caused it to swell Most people online suggest taking off of masturbating for maybe a week. Is this a good idea? Or should i see a doctor.

Answer
Jeremy:

I don't think you can realistically expect us to recommend anything but seeing a physician.  First, what you have read on the internet is WRONG!  Masturbation, even "excessively", is not going to cause testicular swelling.  You should consult your physician.
