Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Masturbation is a normal activity and it has no harmful effects though some men may feel guilty at times for they feel they are addicted to it. Sometimes harsh masturbation may cause injury to the penis. Lower back pain should not be a cause for masturbation. Despite the possibility of addiction, there are no harmful side effects. Let go the negativity. You can meet a therapist for your back pain if you are not relieved from it. For back pain you can take some painkiller and check the mattress in which you sleep. If you are still in discomfort you should see a doctor, hope I have answered your query.   All the best. Dr Nupur K
