Excessive masturbation -> swollen foreskin
Hello,
A day ago, I masturbated excessively (3-4 times). I mention that in the week preceding this, I didn't, almost at all, so it was somehow all of a sudden.
The problem is that my penis foreskin got swollen after this. I didn't have any other symptoms... no pain, just a little itching at some point (but very little). Also, urinating and erection function normally and I can pull the foreskin back and forth; although, when pulling it back, it's not 100% how it should be, because of the swelling.
I am not circumcised and I never had this type of issues, even with excessive sex or masturbation. I didn't have any unprotected sex recently. I can also mention that yesterday, when it happened, I was pretty tired (no sleep the night before), didn't eat too much and also have a cold/flu - all these small issues might have added up.
It's better now, after after 1 day, the swelling decreased but is not completely gone.
Will it heal by itself? can there be any long-term or permanent consequences? can it be something that requires medical consultation? (I know that paraphimosis has similar characteristics; also, read about some cases of necrosis/cangrene - God forbid).
Thank you.

It's my opinion that your swelling is due to excessive masturbation and will subside within several days. However, it is normal for the foreskin to swell after any expansion caused by erection.

It got completely healed after 2 days. Although I felt a little itch 1 or 2 times since then. But, as long as it got back to its normal shape, I guess it can't be anything worth visiting a doctor (I was planning to go, just to ask and be sure that everything's ok).
