Masturbation / Question
Published: February 27, 2001
Dear TeenHealthFX,
When I masturbate and ejaculate after like 5 minutes it gets itchy. Is there something wrong with this?

Dear Itchy After Masturbation,
It is difficult for TeenHealthFX to give you an exact answer over the Web. How long the itchiness lasts and if a rash accompanies it are considerations. It could simply be a temporary problem such as a local skin irritation or an allergic reaction to a lubricant you may be using.
If the problem persists you should consult a doctor. Although the problem may be embarrassing for you, it's no big deal to a doctor. Doctors are comfortable about talking about all sorts of medical issues and are interested in helping people.
If you need a place to go for help and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center For Health at 973.889.6350 for an appointment with a doctor.
