I'm 21 years old and I only masturbate maybe twice a month, usually with lube or without gripping. (I know doing it without is bad, but I didn't know that until a month or two ago)
A few weeks ago I had a wet dream, which was exactly like all the other ones I've had. After urinating an hour later I came back up to my bed to lay down when suddenly I had incredibly sharp, shooting pains in the middle of my penis.
It lasted maybe 10 minutes and was incredibly painful, but it went away and I really haven't had a problem except sometimes I have slight discomfort after urinating.
I masturbated once since then and everything was fine, but often I get pains similar to what I felt that morning only less intense and it lasts only a split second rather than 10 minutes.
If I try to bend my penis while soft the pain is immediately present. Have I damaged my urethra or something? I've been taking Saw Palmetto and Tylenol/Advil which has worked but now I'm afraid to masturbate or do anything to induce the sharp, vice-like pain.
It's not debilitating, but it is worrying me quite a bit, especially since I'm not sexually active.

This is very common.It is not unusual for the male to experience some burning (dysuria) during urination following ejaculation. This is the result of friction developed along the urethra (the lining of the penis) during the act of sexual intercourse or masturbation. Urine moving along the urethra creates a burning sensation. After you ejaculate semen, some of it remains inside and sticks to the walls of the urethra. This narrows the tube and increases the pressure inside the penis when more fluid passes. When you start to pee, your bladder is usually full which means it's pressurized, but the urethra is narrower than normal because semen is blocking it. This can make it hurt when you start peeing (until all of the semen is washed away from inside the penis).It should not be considered a sign of any active disease or indicative of injury to the penis but rather a natural event. However, if burning persists in the absence of ejaculation or sexual contact, some type of infection may be present.
