Weird pain "down there" (16 days semen retention so far)

EDIT: Right now it looks like I might actually have kidney stones. So that is unrelated to semen retention. So I don't want to feed the "semen retention is dangerous" thing in case anyone sees the title.


Original post:

Hi everyone. For a little history I have done semen retention for 3 weeks multiple times, and once I got 60 days semen retention, without having this problem.

Now I get this shooting pain. it sometimes feels like it shoots up my urinary tract but other times it feels like it shoots up my rectum, or just somewhere in between "down there".

I ruled out kidney stone because I never peed one out.

My main thought is that it is due to prosrate pressure building up from semen retention... And that I need to ejaculate soon or it will continue to hurt... However I don't fully trust that because it could be psychosomatic or an attempt to make up a reason to fap, etc.

So has anyone experienced anything like what I described? And what did you do? Thanks.

 

Well thanks. The pain is just scaring me alot

 

Thanks.

 

I don't see where std would come from since I haven't been sexually active. Infection didn't seem likely because I haven't exposed myself to anything particularly infectious. And I consistely eat healthy, go for walks, drink plenty of water.

So far I haven't got the pain today. Not since the middle of the night last night (it woke me up!) so... maybe its on the way out...

 

No, I don't think it was kidney stones, because nothing came out when I actually urinated. it was more like a shooting pain in that area. Does that rule it out from being kidney stones? I hope so.

I'm sorry you have them. my Dad's friend has them really bad. What is it like for you to have them? (if you want to say)

 

Im so sorry to hear that How often do you get them? And what kind of lower back pressure creates them?

I think I knew a girl in HS who had them. She sat near me in class. I think she mentioned it once.

I remember when I was getting this shooting pain... I was so afraid that I would have to pee one out. It felt like what I imagined a kidney stone would be... But when I went to pee, nothing came out.EDIT I mean pee came out but no solid objects

 

yeah my dads friend said it was dehydration. his friend always drank lots of tea but no water. i drink over a gallon of water a day. so my dad said it shouldn't be any problem. i go for a walk every day... but other than that I am kinda sedentary.

So your kidney stones cause you pain even when you don't pee? hm... that sounds like what I had. Where is the pain? I felt a shooting pain right up my urinary tract as well as in other areas as stated but never had anything have to come out.

how old are you?

i am feeling so much fear right now.

 

gotcha. it looks like it can be all over the place in the abdomen. so its been a while since you got the pain? thats good. it sounds like at least its not a daily thing. My last pain was like 35 hours ago.

even if they diagnose me, is there any treatment, besides just drink water, get exercise, etc?

I think what might have caused it, if its true, would be my protein intake. over 100g a day since i was like 14. A lot of times over 150g. Also recently I took choline bitartrate which contains a salt (bitartrate) so maybe that built up into a kidney stone...

I am definiely in a denial phase if it is the case!!! did you ever try visualizing a stone in your mind and then dissolving it? maybe metaphysics could help

 

Interesting. Calcium. I'm vegan so I supplemented with a calcium-magnesium-zinc pill. I accidentally took 1.5x the recommended dosage for a little while...

Maybe I will cut back on the protein. Especially since I am not doing intense bodybuilding anymore just going for walks.

I will look more into the kidney stone thing... Dang. I feel like I am in bargaining/denial stage.

Thanks for all your help. I will try to keep a mental count of how long its been since my last pain.

 

Crap. Calcium supplements actually CAN cause it. Where as dietary calcium can't. Also i have been eating 10-15 OZ spinach a day for YEARS. Like 2-3 years actually. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU

Maybe I should just water fast for the rest of my life.

 

ok well it looks like i can replace it with kale, which has a much lower level of oxalate. I have been eating LOTS of spinach and nuts for YEARS... holy moly. Well, okay, that makes it easy... Stop eating those!

My pea protein powder isn't causing it.

IDK what to do about calcium now... being that I have no dairy. But the calcium supplements gotta go.

Maybe I am just catching this before it gets out of hand. 10oz of spinach is... 2400mg oxalate. 4oz of peanuts is... 600mg oxalate.

My mind is pretty blown.
