Nerve Pain in Penis

Hi there, I'm hoping to get more info on an issue I've been having... please read:

about a month ago I was watching TV and felt s sudden intense itch on my foreskin while laying on the bed. For about two days after that my foreskin was red and swollen on the left side. I shower very frequently and pull the foreskin back all the time to clean it. But I do have a very sensitive foreskin and a mild case of phimosis (I can pull the foreskin all the way back only when flacid). The irritation went away after two days, but came back about a week later... at that point I went to see a doctor and he noticed my foreskin was a little sore... he said it was probably Balanitis and told me to apply an over the counter anti itch cream and to not pull back on my foreskin too aggressively. We also did STD tests and everything came back negative (HIV, Chlamidia, Ghonohrea, Syphilis, negative all of them).

So then things went ok for about 4 days after my first doctor's visit. But then suddenly throughout the day at work, I could feel the head of my penis getting a little sore and it was bugging me a little... but didn't pay attention until I sat on the edge of my chair at a meeting and felt what I would describe as a minor nerve pain shooting from my groin area to the head of my penis. When i got home that same night I pulled the foreskin back and noticed red blotches and little white particles. The skin on the head of the penis was irritated again. So I jumped in the shower and poured cold water which helped immediately relieve the burn and the white particles quickly washed off. I applied garlic oil from a gel pill I had thinking it might be a yeast infection after all. I also emailed my doctor about it and sent him a pic I had taken with my phone so that he could assess... and he emailed back that same night and told me to apply an over the counter anti-fungus cream, which I did that same night. The swelling was definitely gone immediately after that, but about an hour later, as I was sitting on a wooden chair watching TV I got up and my penis and groin area went completely numb and I could feel that nerve pain again shooting down from my groin area to the head of my penis. Not sure if it was a urethra pain. I also felt it that same night while sleeping on my side for a little bit. Everything else was fine... no pain when urinating at all. I emailed my doctor again in the morning and asked if it could be prostatis but he didn't think so.

The next morning I showered again, and applied more anti-fungal cream and felt great for about 4 days and kept repeating this routine. Then went to a urologist about 2 days afterwards who examined me. He said everything looked fine (I was having a good day at that point with no swelling). He also said it could not be a yeast infection is the symptom came and went... he said if it were, the burning would of persisted and not gone away immediately after applying cream or cold water. He suggested that I might have atopic dermatitis but he wasn't sure what could be causing the shooting pain. We also did a urine test and everything came back negative... tested for: Glucose, UA; Bilirubin, UA; Ketones, UA; Specific Gravity, UA; Hemoglobin, ur, ql; PH, UA was 5.0; Protein, UA; Urobilinogen, UA <2.0; Nitrite, UA; Leukocyte esterase, UA; Color Urine Yellow; Specimen Source Clean.

So now I'm just trying to figure out what is causing all these symptoms... could the shooting pain I feel be a pinched nerve? Would it be related to the irritation on the head of the penis? I was also given Betamethasone to help address my mild case of phimosis. But what worries me is the shooting pain I get when I sit on the edge of a chair or sometimes I feel it a little bit when having a bowel movement. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.View Thread

Posted by An_248333

Hi there, I'm a 21 year old male. Im going to try give as much detail as i can for a second opnion. So Sometimes after when i masturbate (3-4 times a week) i get a burning senstion on the tip of my penis which, usually goes away after urinating few times after and the next days its fine, But not this time.

Two weeks ago After masturbating, there was a sharp pain when i was ejaculating on the tip. Since then i have had this constant mild burning sensation / discomfort through out the day, for five days now. The Burning senesation is there when i urinate and it feels like something is there at the tip, like a needle trying to pass through or blocked needle or somthing. Its a horriable feeling. Its also impossiable for me to musterbate now becuase when i am about to ejaculate the sharp pain returns and cannot continue.

A Week Later, after i urinated, there was some discharge of semen blood at the end. After that cleared, 20 mins later i noticed there was still some blood inside or it was bleeding from the inside which had to come out. so after urninating a few times, the blood cleared up and the constant burning sensation reduced slightly. I have had no blood since then.

I went straight to Emergency Doctor, Done a urine and i was told there was no infection. Doctor was confused and not sure what it was and ended up telling me that it was all mechanical, torn tissue or blockage due to masturbating.

To this day i still have the sharp pain while urinating and its the same feeling of a needle trying to pass through and the pain is usually worse if more pressure is applied when urinateing. It now also feel like somthing blocking the tip so its creating two sperate streams of urine passing. Doctor said it was not an infection but im concernd as to why it is making want to urinate frequently. Does it take long for a torn tissue to heal?, Are the symptoms to a torn tissue simlar to an infection?

Please Help Me.

- Thank youView Thread
