What is the cause of discomfort above the penis?

The penis is the male reproductive organ, which is the most important tissue for men. It has a great influence on men's physiological behavior and masculine image. Therefore, the health of the penis is of decisive significance to men. However, there are always some men who encounter penis problems in life, which brings a lot of inconvenience to life. For example, what is the cause of discomfort above the penis? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

Normally, men should not feel discomfort whether their penis is erect or flaccid. Any pain should be considered pathological, and the cause should be actively sought for diagnosis and treatment. Simply restricting sexual life is inappropriate.

If a man experiences discomfort above the penis during sex, he should consider the following situations:

One is that the man forcibly inserts his penis into the woman's vagina before it is fully lubricated. At this time, the movement of the penis is likely to cause friction pain, and may even cause foreskin tearing, which will also cause discomfort to the woman.

The second is painful penile erection, which refers to the pain that occurs when the penis is erect, which is mostly caused by the short frenulum of the penis and the narrow foreskin opening when the foreskin is too long.

The frenulum refers to the skin connecting the foreskin and the glans penis, located at the urethral opening below the glans penis. When the penis is erect, if the frenulum is too short, it will pull the glans penis and cause it to bend. Excessive pulling will cause pain. For men with long foreskin, if the foreskin opening is narrow, when the penis is erect, the enlarged penis body or glans penis will be compressed due to the narrow foreskin opening, causing pain. If it cannot be restored in time, severe foreskin edema or even ischemic necrosis may occur. The medical term is "phimosis", which requires emergency surgery to release.

The third is penile induration, which is a connective tissue proliferative disease that occurs between the two layers of fascia of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. It is more common in middle-aged men. One or several string-like or oval-shaped indurations can be felt on the back or root of the penis. The small ones are as big as mung beans and the large ones are as big as peanuts. There are no discomfort symptoms when the penis is relaxed, but there is local swelling and pain when it is erect.
