Unusual Penis Pain
by madmax8989, Nov 05, 2003 12:00AM
A little less than 2 weeks ago, I was carrying a heavy motor and trying to open a door at the same time. Later, that evening I noticed that I had a pain while urinating. It is not a burning sensation. If you are a male then you'll understand what I'm about to say. While urinating, you push the urine out and then "technically" you lift up to release that last bit of urine from the penis. Well, when I lift up, that's when I feel the pain. I immediately starting flushing my system with juices in hopes of stopping the problem, however, it still remains. I am not urinating any more than usual. I have had the same sex partner for 2 years and we are very active; however, now when I ejaculate, I feel a slight pain as I get closer to climax, but when I do climax, it doesn't feel regular. I have also had instances when the semen will be released before I feel the climax and then more when I feel the climax. I have no pains with erection or intercourse, only urinating and climax. The pain feels like a muscle pain. Could I have pulled a muscle of some kind? or is this an infection? thanks for the help!

I would first make sure an infection isn't present. That would include a urinalysis and a genprobe looking for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
If that is negative, then tests for prostate and scrotal infections can be considered (i.e. with a digital rectal exam and possible scrotal ultrasound looking for epididymitis).
Anatomical abnormalities such as urethral strictures or polyps can also cause pain, and this can be evaluated by a cystoscopy.
In any case, I would suggest a referral to a urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
