What causes penile pain?

Penile pain is something men need to be wary of, because it is easy for men to neglect their reproductive health. However, if these parts are affected by some diseases, it will cause pain, such as genital herpes, or damage from prostatitis, which may cause pain.

1. Bites, papules or any epidermal injuries are common causes of penile pain.

2. The common cause of penile pain is genital herpes infection. Before the onset of the disease, the infected area will have burning, itching or pain for 5 to 6 days, and then obvious, visible bruises can be found on the epidermis. Once these blister-like bruises gradually heal, the pain symptoms will also disappear. After the first outbreak of herpes, some patients will not have a recurrence for several months, several years or even a lifetime, but some patients will often have recurrences.

3. Prostatitis often causes penile pain, which may be caused by infection or irritation of the penis. If it is infected, it must be treated with antibiotics; if it is irritated, sufficient rest can alleviate the symptoms.

4. Syphilis can cause ulcers and sores on the penis, but it does not cause pain. Other sexually transmitted diseases that can cause pain are atypical urethritis and gonorrhea. Although penicillin and other types of antibiotics have been invented, gonorrhea still causes considerable trouble to people. In uncircumcised men, it is easy to get an infection inside the foreskin, which can also cause pain and swelling in the penis. Usually, as long as the real source of the disease is properly treated, most of the uncomfortable symptoms can be eliminated smoothly.
