What causes penis erection pain?

Only when the penis is erect normally can sexual intercourse be completed. However, many men feel pain when the penis is erect, which directly affects the quality of sexual intercourse and even makes it impossible to complete sexual life normally. Therefore, when the penis hurts, men are still very concerned about the pathogenic factors. So, what is the cause of penis erection pain? Let's take a detailed look below.

1. Abnormal erection. Some erections are not normal, but abnormal. For example, when blood clots form in the arteries of the erect penis, they prevent blood from flowing out of the penis, causing the penis to remain erect for much longer than normal, causing severe pain.

2. Foreskin is too long and adheres. Some men have phimosis. When the penis is erect, the foreskin will be more painful when it is turned down.

3. Penile trauma. Although the penis is hidden and relatively small in non-erect state, it is still very vulnerable and can easily be injured. The most common is riding on a hard object and hitting the penis. Some men also break their penises because of excessive movements or sudden changes in direction during sex.

4. Reproductive infection diseases. Whether there is balanitis, urethritis, urethral stenosis, etc.

5. Penile deformity. A progressive disease caused by scar tissue in the penis. The diseased tissue forms plaques on the penis. When the penis is erect, the plaques cause the penis to bend and cause pain.

6. Herpes virus infection. When the penis is infected by some viruses, it often causes pain. Common symptoms include: After infection, the penis will experience burning, itching, and pain.

The above is an introduction to what causes penis erection pain. I hope it will be helpful for men to understand. There are many factors that cause penis erection pain in men, and these are the main causes. When it happens, it is best to actively look for the cause. Only when the cause is found and targeted treatment is carried out, can more serious consequences be prevented.
