Sharp stinging pain in tip of penis

[ruskki999]

Every once in a while I get this sharp stinging like pain in the tip of my penis that usually last only a couple seconds.  when it happens, it feels like it needs to be itched but it's inside where it can't be itched.  When it happens I usually try and "itch" it by squeezing my glans slightly.  this neither helps, or hurts.  it eventually just goes away.  I've had this problem since before I started having sex, so I'ts not an STD.  Plus i drink lots of cranberry juice and as part of my normal diet so the chances of it being a UTI are slim to none.

I just had a Urinalysis done as part of my normal doctor check up, as well as a full blood panel.  would any of the potential problems show up in that?

Anyone have any ideas?

you may have passed a kidney stone if it happens when you pee.

I'm assuming you mean you feel this twinge of sharp pain through the shaft from genitals to head, while doing anything, not urinating?  If so, then to allay any worries, it's definitely not severe.  People have commonly mistaken them to UTI's (Urinary tract infections), but that's pain and burning with urination.  The 1-3 second long twinge of pain that can nearly bring you to your knees is a nerve stem being hit or twisted the wrong way.  It happens when sitting or laying on your back, and can happen without even moving.  The best idea to make it stop is to completely change positions or get up and start moving if you're sitting/laying.  

If the problem occurs more than a few times a day, definitely see a neurologist or urologist and get some workup, as well as if you have it with any burning pain or with urination.

Hope it helps!
