Question:
Hi,

In the answer to the question at: http://www.sexualhealth.com/questions/read.cfm?ID=1723 you mention something called the Dhat syndrome.

I think i may have this, i get a sticky substance from my penis usually after using the toilet. Could you please tell me more about this Dhat syndrome, causes and cures and whatever else. Is this a serious thing or is it common.

Sometimes after masturbation i get really bad lower back pain for about 20 minutes, what could cause this and is this related to the Dhat syndrome.

Thank you for any help.

It is believed that the secretion of the pre-ejaculate from cowpers gland causes the dhat syndrome. Ihis is a normal secretion and there is no need to be upset or alarmed about it.

Your back pain after masturbation may need to be treated. Visit your doctor and seek help.
