I have severe pain on the back side of my leg.

Prince

When I masturbate, I feel a lot of pain in the nerve on the back side of my leg and I was shy to tell this in the hospital, that is why I am asking here whether this is something serious?This has been happening to me for a month now and I've been meaning to ask someone about it for a long time.

Hello Prince,

It’s very unlikely to be something serious like a sexual organ problem.

It’s a physical, mechanical issue, not a sexual or reproductive disease.

🛑This is most likely due to nerve irritation, such as mild sciatic nerve compression, or pelvic floor muscle tension that occurs when muscles contract during arousal or ejaculation

🛑A simple examination and possibly a physiotherapy referral can help a lot.

🛑Need physical examination ( like reflexes,sensation in your legs etc) 🛑please consult orthopedic surgeon in person.

👍You did the right thing by asking and you don’t need to feel shy; doctors see issues like this often and DOCTORS are to heal you, NOT JUDGE YOU. Being open with your doctor is part of taking care of yourself.

I trust this helps Feel free to talk again Thank you

many people feel nerve-related pain during sexual arousal or orgasm. This does not mean there’s anything wrong with your sexual organs. Most cases improve with posture changes and back exercises.

Experiencing pain on the backside of your leg, particularly during activities like masturbation, could be indicative of an underlying issue that needs attention. This type of pain might involve the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down through your legs. It’s possible that what you’re experiencing could relate to sciatica, which can occur when there is compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. This is not uncommon and can be caused by various factors such as a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or another kind of lower back issue. Given that this has been ongoing for a month, it would be prudent to seek a clinical evaluation to better understand what’s causing this discomfort. A healthcare provider might recommend imaging tests like an MRI or CT scan to assess the spine and nerves more closely. In the meantime, you might want to monitor any changes in posture that aggravates the pain. Practicing good ergonomics, especially if you sit for extended periods, and performing exercises that strengthen your core and back could help alleviate symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relief, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may also provide temporary relief. However, it is crucial to consult with a doctor to ensure there’s no serious condition that needs immediate intervention, especially if you notice the pain worsening, if there’s numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. Delaying proper medical evaluation can sometimes lead to complications that are more difficult to treat later on.

Hi Prince, thank you for opening up. I understand it can feel awkward to talk about such issues, but you did the right thing by asking. Let’s go through this. You issue might be due to one of many causes. It’s unlikely to be serious, but since it’s been present for a month, you should get evaluated.

Kindly get done a physical examination by a Neurologist or an Orthopedician. I understand that issues like this aren’t easy to open up in front of someone. But opening up in front of a doctor would not be much difficult, once you start. Us doctors see such or worse cases almost everyday. A good doctor will make sure you’re comfortable while telling your issues.

If your pain radiates to the lower back or worsens on bending, then get done an MRI of LS Spine. Otherwise, no need for now.

Simple blood tests - CBC, Vit-B12, Vit-D.

Avoid prolonged sitting or awkward postures. Do gentle hamstring and lower back stretches daily. Hot compress over lower back and thigh twice a day.

Still your pain persists, take a short course of Tab. Etoricoxib 60mg twice a day × 5 days. Don’t take for long, as it can cause side effects.

Avoid: Excess masturbation (temporarily reduce frequency). Sitting cross-legged or on hard surfaces for long.

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

This pain is most likely related to irritation of the sciatic nerve or tight muscles in the lower back/hip region, which can get strained during certain body positions or tension when masturbating. It usually improves with posture correction, gentle stretching, and avoiding positions that strain the lower back, but persistent pain for a month needs proper evaluation. Please consult an Orthopedic or Neurology specialist to check for sciatica, muscle spasm, or nerve compression and guide treatment.
