I have severe pain on the back side of my leg. - #14451

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.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Hello dear See after careful evaluation of your query,there is no direct relationship of masturbation and leg pain. However possibly it is due to either some muscular strain or jerk. I am suggesting some medication and tests Please get them done Scrotal USG Kidney USG X ray knee Apply voveron x ray gel topically for two weeks twice daily If required apply crave bandage You can take zerodol sp accordingly if required Please share the result with orthopedic surgeon and gynaecologist too in person for better clarity Hopefully you recover soon Regards

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every 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

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

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
