What Can Cause Penis Pain?
What Causes Penis Pain? Here at Prostate Massage and Health I am often asked about penis pain as well as prostate pain. Prostate problems can be responsible for pain in the penis. Definitely. But, there are a huge number of other things that may be causing pain in your penis.
Sometimes, in a day or two, the pain will go away by itself. But, sometimes, the pain can be chronic. If chronic pain in your penis is your situation, there are many different things that can be causing it. If you are not sure what it is, you will probably need to see a doctor to figure it out. Pain in the penis can be inside the penis or on the outer skin. Different conditions that cause penis pain can come from, and are not limited to, such things as: - Prostate problems - Urinary tract infection - Candidiasis - Infected penile prosthesis - Painful erection * Peyronie's disease (bent penis) * Priapism - Penile candidiasis - Reiter's syndrome - Penis cancer - Urinary stones - Kidney stones - Paraphymosis (retracted foreskin) - Inflammatory phymosis - Inflammation of the foreskin (balanitis) - Thickening of the foreskin (Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans) - Insect or spider bite - Foreskin disorder - Balanitis - Torn frenulum during intercourse - Trauma to penis - Sexually transmitted infections (eg. herpes simplex, human papilloma virus) - Penile ulcer - Syphilitic chancre - Penile skin conditions - Psoriasis - Peyronie's disorder - Bent Penis - Curved Penis - "Fractured" penis (damage to erectile tissue during intercourse or accident) - Rough oral sex - Fournier's Gangrene - Diabetes Mellitus - Reiter's Syndrome - Scrotal ulceration - Scrotal infection spreading to penis Penis pain can also come from some things so simple as: - Overly prolonged erection (priapism) - Poor hygiene - Multiple sexual partners What To Do First If you are experiencing chronic pain in your penis, the first thing to do is go see your doctor. Find out what the actual cause is. If he doesn't know, go to a specialist (Urologist) that can locate the answer. Once you know what is actually causing your penis pain, you will be able to learn how to fix the problem. There is no sense in treating something that isn't actually there and not treating what is actually causing your pain. That is a mistake many make. Sometimes It's Easy Just as some simple regular prostate massage can remedy many prostate problems, sometimes the solution to penis pain is remarkably simple as well. Like if the pain is from too much sex or having an erection for too long. For that just a day or two of rest can often do the job. But, sometimes the solution is not so easy. Sometimes there is a serious condition that takes time to remedy and heal. There are too many causes to list the remedies for in one short article. However, most problems that cause pain in the penis have a definite identifiable cause and a definite solution. The most important thing is to find the true cause of your penis pain. Then you can take care of it correctly. And the best way to do that is to see a good Urologist who specializes in men's issues.
