Why am I experiencing Perineum Pain?

Exactly three days ago, I noticed when I push my erection away from my body so that it is perpendicular to my body (not excessively) like I have MANY time in the past, I have a sharp shooting pain on the left side of my perineum. Shortly after this discovery, I started to feel around and felt to, pea sized hard pellets inside the area between the perineum, and my leg. I have no idea if those are causing the pain, but that is not what prompted this question, more of a side note but still concerning.

After about two days now, I have been frantically searching for answers online as I now have a constant dull ache in my perineum muscle. I have free healthcare, but I cannot use it to see a professional at the moment due to my location on the globe. In two months I will be able to go and see a Urologist. I also have not had a bowel movement in approximately 3 days. I am a healthy male, not overweight, I eat relatively healthily and have NEVER had any other problems with my genitalia aside from a slight curve in my penis to the left (the same side the pain is on)

I went and visited a generic doctor out where I am located and was told it was a masturbation injury. Very possible, but it does not feel like anything I have ever felt. I have been cutting back on masturbation to allow any ruptured tissues time to heal, but when I get an erection, there is no pain unless I move it away from my body as previously mentioned. This is consistent with normal muscle injuries in my experience (I am athletic). I take sexual health VERY seriously (almost to an excessive point) and get tested regularly for STD's even though I have been in a committed relationship for 3 years now. My last test was back in December. I have not had access to testing where I have been the last 7 months, however I have not had sexual contact IN ANY WAY with anyone since I have been tested. My last test was clean as well (December). I do NOT have trouble urinating or dysuria. I have been able to both obtain an erection as well as achieve climax even with the pain I have been experiencing, although I am trying to refrain from doing so.

Recap of symptoms:
Prolonged Perineum aching
Sharp pain in left side of perineum when I move erection away from body (again, not to an excessive angle)
Constipation
Two, pea sized pellets inside groin area (dismissed by previous general healthcare provider as benign cysts)


Health History:
21 Years old
Tested every 3 months with clean results
One sexual partner who I have not had sex with for the past 7 months because I have been outside the U.S.
Athletic build
Normal, unchanged diet
No signs of prostate cancer or testicular cancer in the past
No injuries in the past few weeks to the perineum area

Possible causes I have been thinking about:
When I shower, I am rough with drying the scrotal area. Possible that I strained a muscle in there? I don't remember doing so though

I climb a LOT of steep stairs, possible I injured the tissue in there splitting my legs to climb?

Masturbation injury. I am not overly rough with masturbation.

I am mainly asking if these symptoms are synonymous with penile injuries, and if so, how long I need to wait to allow it to heal. I do NOT want nerve damage or any problems with fertility. If any of these symptoms sound like a disease, I would like to know which diseases specifically. Again, I have not had any sexual contact in 7 months, and these symptoms only started in the past 3 days.

Thank you for your time.
