Hello doctor, For the past few months I have had a terrible tickling sensation in my penis caused by what I believe to be excessive masturbation, and I have been trying to cut back but with difficulty. I have spoken with a urologist and a neurologist elsewhere but they said it should go away on its own and that masturbation should not cause such a thing, but this answer does not satisfy me as it has yet to cease and has been tormenting me non-stop. I do believe vigorous masturbation to be the culprit hence I try to cut back but with the sensation still continuing. The feeling gets really bad especially when I sit down on a seat or lay on my side in bed. And car rides are the worst. I have studies that I attend to, I stay in those to help get my mind off of the tickling but with no success as the tickling bothers me that much. I have difficulty doing anything, and I am afraid to get a job having this feeling all the time. Exercise and drinking lots of water do not help at all. I tried Azos with no relief so I moved on from that. I had a random urine sample taken at the doctors office and it came out fine but I am not sure what they looked for when they tested it. I had my privates visibly examined and the doctor said everything was fine. Also, I had my hormone, testosterone levels checked and the doctor said they were fine as well. I have not taken any medicines or prescriptions for this condition, and currently I am not taking anything. I am so very tired of this feeling as it has been interfering with the things I love the most. Worst part of all this is that since I feel ticklish down there my mind gets filled with all kinds of sexual thoughts stimulating me to masturbate even more making the feeling even worse and more intense than before, there are times I cannot even sleep at night because the tickling or aroused feeling is so bad. Please tell me if there is something I can take for this and how to get it.
