For the guys that have the annoying “on again" and “off again" vibration in the penis... I too had the problem and found the solution thus stopping it…

I was just like the rest of you that are having these symptoms and I tried to explained this crazy phenomenon to my wife that my penis would sometime without warning start tingling and feeling just like a cell phone vibrating..  ...Sometime I thought I was really getting a call and reached for my phone clipped on my pocket only to find out that it was the annoying sensation again…

I Googled it and I researched it and found that I was not alone.. Others with the same complaint were chatting online about it and getting nowhere….Sometime I would get brave enough and ask one of my friends if they have ever heard of it just hoping that perhaps I could find someone like me…. They all laughed and said “ if only they could be so lucky to have a vibrating penis” … I guess that ole adage about “be careful what you wish for” has merit ……

I went to my doctor but he never heard of such a thing and referred me to a nerve doctor but not until he scared me half to death telling me that he thought this vibration might be an aneurism (aneurysm) which I was also checked for and nothing found…The nerve doctor was just as mystified as my family doctor..

By now, if you read this far your probably wondering just what it is that causes this vibrating penis phenomenon …well, the cure is simple ..All you have to do is stop ingesting so many of the energy drinks such the Monster drinks and especially the Red Bull...the vibration will then go away it’s is just that simple...  My drink of choice was the Red Bull… When I stopped drinking them every day the symptoms stopped. When I thought I was in the clear and started downing them again, the symptoms returned…  Duh?

BTW…The reason there isn’t a doctor out there that can tell you exactly what it is because this  penis phenomenon has only popped it's ugly head up (no pun intended) in just the last couple of years and give rise to the increasing number of men complaining  which is due mainly to the popularity of the energy drinks taken off and whatever is in them that makes you go turbo and causes your penis to vibrate off the hook.. (pun intended)  

So, the next time you have the vibration, ask your self, when was the last time you sucked down a couple of Red Bulls or a simular liquid stimuli...

Hope this helps

Hey Folks, I am 25, male, and healthy - no pre-existing conditions or medications.  I exercise fairly regularly but nothing too strenuous, and I try pretty hard to eat right.  Contrary to what you may think after reading the following, I am not an alcoholic.

I have a similar issue as what everyone is describing here, but I wouldn't call it "vibrating" - it's more like "fluttering" or maybe "spasming" or "quivering," and it seems to be farther upriver on my urethra, almost inside me.  It almost tickles.  This sensation started the morning after a particularly virulent night of drinking.  I sheepishly admit I spent most of that night lying face-down on my living room floor.  The fluttering sensation began about halfway through the next day and has continued for two days straight.  It is a constant fluttering - its severity seems to come and go depending on how much I am paying attention, and whether I have been sitting in the same position for awhile.

I have rehydrated very well and drank a gallon of cranberry juice thinking maybe it was a UTI - no luck thus far.  I'm interested to know if the "fluttering" sensation rings a bell with anyone - this is the closest I have come to finding the right symptoms, but my case is definitely less "vibration" than "quivering" or "fluttering."

Hi all fellow buzzers. I had similar symptoms that many of you have already described here. I remember myself often checking my cellphone only to realize that somebody is trying to call to my penis instead of my phone :p anyway I am now cured and here is my story:

I think everything started last monday when i was lifting a boat (it was quite heavy) out from the water and it seems that i hurt my back without even noticing it myself.

Monday and tuesday went fine until tuesday evening I started feeling strange this strange buzz thingy in my little fellow. Didnt really know what it was about so I went to internet and found this forum. I tried sauna and stretching etc magic tricks without much results. Had no choice but to stand steady buzzes until friday when I went to my osteopath. He said that i have a "facet lock" in my very low back, (or whats it called anyway) at L4 or L5 dont really remember which one was it.. http://universe-review.ca/I10-13-spinal.jpg I didnt even notice that there was something wrong until he started massaging. Anyway he opened the lock from my lower back and few more from upper back :D sounded like *crack!*

Saturday i felt that something had happened because the buzzing has increased quite alot, it felt much stronger than before. I thought that it was because of the osteopath and decided not to worry, instead i relaxed and drank like 10 beers :p

When i woke up yesterday (sunday) i felt that something was missing, luckily it was not the whole penis that was missing, but instead there was no buzzing at all. I waited it to start for a while but.. nothing. Only some faint feelings left but 99% of all the buzzes are gone, this has gone for 2 days now and hope it lasts :)

Here is my 17 cents, and sorry for my crappy english, hope you can make some sense of it :b

Same symptoms.  Been going on since Sept.  The intensity seemed to peak in late October, such that the buzzing and related anxiety that maybe I WAS peeing myself had me freaked out.  I never was incontinent, but man did it seem like something was flowing.  Went to the GP. Did the STDs test and standard urine analysis.  Nothing there.  Referred to Urologist.   Ultra sound... nada.  Flow/stream test... slightly less than a guy my age should have (41).  Did the cystoscopy today (ouch!).  No blockages.  Waiting on the results re cells and possible bladder cancer (not likely).  Meanwhile, I notice less buzzing if I am drinking less alcohol.  Constipation seems directly linked, too.  I am starting to think diet/constipation sets this off (and aggravated by alcohol...maybe caffeine) and somehow plays into relationships between anal sphincter, bladder, and the pudendal nerve.  Finally, doc asked me about my PTSD...said maybe anxiety is also aggravating this linked up system, fear of loss of control, etc.

Hope some oft his helps.

I had found this forum over a year ago and had the same symptoms.  slight vibrations - cell phone like etc.  Then I unexpectedly and very painfully passed a kidney stone.   The vibrations stopped completely.

Prior to that I had been checked for kidney stones and nothing was found.  There were no symptoms from any blood or urine tests.  So if it persists it might be a good idea to see a urologist and have an ultrasound done.  Good luck all.

Was just talking to my wife regarding a buzzing in my penis. (Imagine That) Anyway I figured I'd look it up on the internet and I ran into this forum. Would really love some help..It's been going on for a few months. First I just wrote it off as gas or something like that, but now I'm a little concerned. Any direction would be helpful

Like most everyone else here, I thought I was crazy or confused, but after reading these posts, was pretty well convinced I have prostititis. A visit to my doctor more or less confirmed the suspicion, and I've been on Cipro for a week. The symptoms disappeared within a couple of days, and -- knock wood -- they haven't returned.

My advice is to see your doctor and get a legit diagnosis.

I have the same issue and happen to be a physician.  Has been going on for a about 4 weeks.  I could not think of anything medically that made sense to explain this and was thinking I was crazy until I found this site and have now had time to think more about it/research the problem.  I think I have figured out what is going on at least for myself and suspect it may be the same problem with many on the site.  I wanted to write this so people are aware of the possibility of the below entity and what i think is going on but I also want to caution that I could be wrong.  Also, I am curious if many of the people on here have the following patterns to their buzzing/vibration sensation:
1- worse late in the day/night
2- better in the morning
3- worse when sitting down
4- better when sitting on the toliet

If so, I think what MANY of us (probably not all and some may have other issues) might have is a variant of "pudendal neuralgia".  Pudendal neuralgia is USUALLY a pain syndrome which is secondary to inflammation/impingement of the pudendal nerve which innervates the rectum, penis, etc...Similar to "carpal tunnel syndrome" which occurs in the wrist, the pudendal nerve can become compromised and then cause pain or other symptoms that would involve these organs.  I think that instead of pain, we are feeling a vibratory sensation - it is probably just a variation of the pain syndrome.  This would explain a few things such as why many on this blog said they felt better with sitting on  a cushion (takes pressure off the nerve).  It would also explain why women have reported the same complaints on this blog and others (ie., they obviously have no prostate to cause this so has to be something else).  On a similar note, this also explains why young men were complaining as well since would be unlikely for an 18 year old to have prostate problem.  Taking a bath would remove all pressure from the nerve and I see a few report that helped them - helped me as well.  So, putting all of this together, I think this is what is going on.  The bad news is that I am not sure that there is a miracle cure to all of this and that is what I am exploring now - I am starting out with conservative measures such as doing everything I can to keep pressure off the nerve (avoiding sitting or at least using a cushion, no bicycling, etc...).  I think the first step would be to seek medical help both to rule other causes out and to try to get some help/guidance.  I found a ton of stuff on the internet about pudendal neuralgia and might be worth a look to see if your symptoms sound similar.  My guess is that many physicians will not have heard of this so if you end up with a normal exam and a physician who has no idea, might be worth to bring up this possibility or even consider tracking down a physician who has expertise in this area (some are listed on these websites about pudendal neuralgia).  Finally, I MAY BE WRONG ABOUT ALL OF THIS BUT THIS IS WHAT I THINK so please take this only as an opinion of someone with the same condition desperately trying to figure out what is going on - I also suspect that not everyone here has the exact same problem so that is why I think it is best that everyone get it checked out and see if you can find a physician who can help.  On a personal level, I am very frustrated that this has been essentially going on for a month now with no relief.  I am VERY CURIOUS to hear from people who posted previously and see if they are doing better or worse?

For at least a month I have had this same syndrome described by many or most of the guys on this site. I googled "vibration in penis" and it lead to this site, today 27 February 2012. I wasn't even sure it was my penis, it was faint, noticeable, but faint. I kept thinking it was my cell phone as many others have. I carry my cell phone in my coat pocket, not (usually) my pants pocket. The vibration started, what, maybe a month ago, weeks? I, of course, did not take it seriously at first. The vibration does not hurt, but I got to thinking it must be in the vein or artery (which ever), a "flow" perturbation. The vibration seems to go away when I stand up, but that might not always be the case. I do a lot of sitting at an office in front of a computer. I have a very regular routine (over 16 years now) of getting up early, getting to the gym ("opening" it up so to speak), using the stationary bike (always) and doing a variety of other workouts. I've had back problems, but not lately and part of my workout is designed to deal with back problems (strengthening stomach muscles, etc.) The vibration has stopped since I started writing this, but it will probably come back, in rhythm. I'm 59 1/2 years old. I don't consider this serious, but annoying. This thread of messages is long. I pretty much read the first years (2006-08), scanned the middle years and read the last couple of messages. Amazing. If anyone in the past reads this, did you find out what your problem was? If anyone in the future can post a reasonable explanation, please consider responding. I'm responding to the physician's post of 22 Feb 2012 and agree with him that not all the posts may be the same but the probability of such similar descriptions may mean many of us have the same condition. My wife tells me she has a similar feeling in her ankle. She's never confided in me with that information before, not until I told her about this site and my condition. She said it sounds very similar to what she feels in her ankle. Hmm.

Guys! The buzzing is actually just a tired muscle. Just keep things relaxed, and don't be rough in anything and you will feel much better. Excessive stimulation can cause you to be overly excited, thus making you aggressive, making your muscles tired. Keep things relaxed at all times, and do normal daily chores.

So I thought I was trippin, my penis could not be vibrating?  But lo and behold all you guys confirmed my issue.  I have been with one woman for over five years and when I was sleeping with many women this **** was not happening.  I am now 41 years old and this sensation has been occurring for several weeks now and I am glad I looked up this forum. I have a slightly bulging disc which is from arthritis in my lower back and I work out regularly and love to lift weights. I drink maybe two beers a night but not excessively but do not like baths, but I will be taking them more often and maybe get a heating pad. I don't have health insurance at the moment so until I get it back I will have to try these methods and opefully they work.  Thanks again.

Hello again.  

Checking back in.  Again, I am a physician who was confused about what the heck this all was.  I have learned much since my last post and figured out what was wrong with me.  As I mentioned last time, I think there are probably more than one diagnoses involved but here is my story and here is what I think the "differential diagnosis" is and what may or may not help.  Bottom line, get checked out ASAP as this can represent nerve impingement or another problem which can worsen over time if not corrected.  On the flip side, given the rarity of the problems/complaints, your physician may not immediately figure out what your problem is and that is why I am going to expand a bit further on what I found out for myself and what you should do if you are severe and not getting answers. When I last posted, I thought that I was suffering from pudendal nerve entrapment but it appears that I was predominately having a "Piriformis muscle syndrome" with some possible involvement of the pudendal nerve.  While it appears that there is a range of how bad people on this board were feeling, I was in really bad shape on my last post with a vibration sensation deep in my buttox that was quite severe and was present every waking hour of the day.  The vibration was much worse with sitting and although at first I could sleep through the night, it began to wake me up.  I also felt some mild vibrations in my left buttox/thigh area.  I was lucky in that I was able to get an MRI-neurography of the pelvis (newer technology) and it showed that my sciatic nerve was inflamed and likely being pinched by the Piriformis muscle at the level of the sciatic notch.  This is all consistent with "Piriformis Muscle Syndrome" which is the following.  There is a narrow hole in the pelvis bone through which the Sciatic nerve and the pudendal nerve go through along with the Piriformis muscle.  If the muscle becomes tight for some reason (excessive jogging, poor posture, excessive sitting possibly, anatomical reasons, and more), then the muscle may pinch the nerve.  A pinched nerve can feel like a "vibration" and thus this is what I was feeling.  While not 100% clear, I think that I also had some involvement of my pudendal nerve which would be responsible for more of the perianal and vibrations in the penis.  Piriformis syndrome, however, is just one possibility.  Another possibility is to have infammation to the pudendal nerve alone or in combination.  I originally thought I had just the pudendal nerve but now I realize otherwise.  Anyhow, the classic cause of Pudendal nerve compression would be excessive bicycle riding, excessive sitting, anatomical.  The pudendal nerve goes to the penis/clitoris/rectum so "vibrations" or similar sensations in that area might be the pudendal nerve.  I guess it is possible to have impingement of the lumbo-sacral tree which is another bundle of nerves in the buttox area.  Another possibility, I guess, would be to have something higher up like the spine and impingement on nerves in that area.  So, I think nerve impingement would be very high on the differential diagnosis with Pudendal nerve, Piriformis syndrome (sciatic +/- pudendal involement), lumbo-sacral, possibly spinal being possible.  Most physicians will be very aware of the SPINE but not necessarily of pudendal or Piriformis and this is where you may lose the capacity to get a diagnosis from your physician.  In addition to nerve, I think that prostatitis and similar diagnoses can cause some of these symptoms so that is another big one to consider and some of this blog have considered and been diagnosed with that.  On the flip side, I think a few people (including myself) might initially get diagnosed with prostatitis incorrectly but turn out to have a nerve issue.  So, what to do about all of this.  Interestingly, a lot of the remedies on this post are consistent with things that can be done.  I am only starting to improve VERY SLOWLY and not completely fixed yet so to be continued but this is what I would advise:
1) Again, first seek individual physician diagnosis and help if possible
2) IF you have a Piriformis syndrome, you need to stop doing things that pinch the nerve (avoid sitting, jogging, etc...) and begin physical therapy to stretch the muscle.  Other options include steroid injection into the muscle.  If you are diagnosed with this or concerned this is you, can search the internet and will find a ton of stuff
3) If you have pudendal nerve, again, stop inciting activity (bicycle riding, excessive sitting (ie., avoid or get a cushion as suggested above).  Again, search internet for pudendal nerve and learn more
4) LS spine issues -  I tend to think that LS spine issue would be more likely to present with pain (at least that is what I see where I practice) but given what I have learned I guess this could happen with vibrations too.  To make this diagnosis, need to be with your physician - would rule out lower nerve stuff first with vibratory complaints in the buttox area
5) Prostatitis - +/- anbx, anti-inflammatories, sitting on cushion.  urologist is the specialist who can help here. Be careful of misdiagnosis particularly if you do not have an infection and if therapy not working
6) a couple other things out there as well depending on your total picture

Again, just my 2 cents.  I have learned a lot out of necessity to help myself and now realize a whole new set of diagnoses that I can bring back to help some of my patients as well.  Bottom line, however, is that while some people have mild complaints and not a big deal, others can be severe (like mine).  I waited 6 weeks before seeking help and I think I waited too long and lead to some damage to the nerve.  Anyhow, I am doing better with some stretches for the Piriformis muscle and better posture but the road is long and I am not fixed yet.

Hope this can help someone - good luck

This phenomenon just started happening to me a day ago. When it first started, I was sitting at my computer and kept looking down at my crotch and thinking "WTF?". I stood up and walked around, thinking it must be some circulation thing. The feeling is exactly as everyone else has described. A faint buzzing/vibrating in the upper half of my penis. Another way to describe it could be the flow of urine, but only in the top half of the penis. Yet another way I would describe it, is the same kind of feeling you have in your chest when your breathing is raspy from congestion, except in your penis! The sensation is rhythmic, at first I thought it was actually in time with my breathing, but holding my breath proved it is independent. I have actually timed it and usually the sensations are 5-7 seconds apart, with the sensation itself lasting from 1-2 seconds. It is not painful or pleasurable, just annoying and distracting if you are sitting quietly. I have also noticed it while driving.

Interestingly enough. I went to the gym tonight, and I noticed that while sitting in the steam room, the sensation went away. Afterwards I went swimming and didn't notice it because of the activity. When I was showering a while later I noticed it had come back. So perhaps somehow the heat of the sauna made it stop? The next time I go to the gym I will definitely take note if it stops again.

There is a very simple stretch that will fix this - Squat like an Asian. Plant both feet flat about shoulder width and squat down putting your shoulders between your knees and pushing out on your knees, get your butt as close to the floor as you can. It helps to hold on to a table while you squat. It takes less than 30 seconds. I got this stretch from my UPS guy for lower back tension and found after reading this post yesterday that it works for this too. I have had the vibration before and was dealing with it all week - until I did this stretch. I had the vibration in the tip of my penis and am convinced it is tightness in the lower back causing pressure on this area and nerves associated with it. UPS guy said we spend so much time sitting it forces our hips together and this forces them back out - TRY IT!!!
it worked for me.

I hope you get this and it helps. I have had this numerous times in the past and was concerned this time after having Prostatitus that it was something BAD. Butt it seems this is a miracle for me - it has stopped completely. After reading all day yesterday I looked at all the symptoms and found a commonality of lower back issues for the vibration in the tip. I cannot say the same for other locations but this seems to be caused by pressure to the nerve. This is my post to see if this works for others.

Its coming from the parasympathetic nervous system and out of the Sacral Plexus at the S2-S4 levels. The nerves from here form the Pelvic Splanchnic Nerves and the Prostatic Complex. Both of these nerve Plexus's are integral in sexual function, penile sensation, urination and interact with the sympathetic nervous system in order to link anatomical actions with conscious thought and physical stimulus.

Compression, irritation or inflammation of any sacral nerves or nerve roots between S2-S4 can cause this and will often be felt prior to urination as the two sides of the nervous system are unsure what the other is saying.
It's most common in men who suffer from minor low back pain or Sciatica (irritation or compression of nerve roots that supply the Sciatic nerve) where the aetiology is below the S2 level.

Its best to get checked out ASAP on MRI just in case the compression or irritation is caused by something more serious like an abnormal bone growth, cystic lesion or displacement of the sacrum. Things like this can quickly become more serious and produce other symptoms due to the proximity of the other nerves in the area that control urination, defecation and sexual function. Slow encroachment upon nerves, especially close to a plexus or ganglion, can go largely unnoticed due to the bodies remarkable ability to adapt to slow encroaching insult but this situation can change dramatically with only a minor additional and sudden insult resulting in a myriad of other symptoms that may seem entirely unrelated at first.

Hope this helps.

Well, I have read most of the posts on here and it seems that these symptons are happening to 25 and up... Though I am currently 19 years old I have been having this problem since I was 17. I just figured it was a spasm and nothing more so I decided to ignore it. I am currently at school o.o go figure lol. While I was just on the computer doing work it happened and stopped. So i figured to loook up stuff about it. I think I am going to keep following this post so ask me any questions and I will give the best answers possible.

i actually enjoyed the buzzing sensation at the tip of my penis.  I think it is from it having too much activity.  i only get the sensation after very long continuous excitement period.  I had sex all night then again at noon the next day.  The sensation started right after the noon session.  So as long as it is not something serious.. i am going to enjoy it....

I do a few yoga cat position back stretches, I stand up, and buzzing stops. I sit down and buzzing starts again. I have had back issues in my life and lately have been sitting in poor posture position. Sitting and or back related would by my personal view. Interesting what was said about magnesium. Stretch, sit straight and don't think about it too much or your going to go mad.

My husband complains about his nuts hurting when the laptop is on his lap. Tingling etc like many of the above have mentioned. However I believe that this may be caused by his vasectomy and the staples they put in.  Is it magnetic??? Could this be what is happening?

go see an osteopath or something like that, I had this, it was so annoying this humming buzz feeling, ashame it was pleasurable.It was something in my pelvic bones and lower spine that was out of alignment,after 2 treatments it was gone for about 1 yr then in 1 treatment it stopped, havent felt it in over a year now
Osteopaths have many men and women come in embarrassed about this weird sensation, its basically like a twitching eye

I agree with your masterbation (masturbation) comment for obvious reasons. Enough strain or pressure on anything should cause such a sensation. Much like the feeling of a limb falling asleep. Therefore it must also be related to the blood flow in that region and vessels maybe constrictingI. I think I'll try to apply a brief period with an ice pack to see if that causes it to decrease or increase. I notice holding my penis in my hand with slight pressure, enough to feel the pulse in it, causes it to stop, even for a few minutes. Then again, mine is still a new feeling I recently notice, so maybe I'm grasping at straws, no pun intended. If this doesn't work I'll look into pressure points and accupreasure or someting related to other areas of my body. I know my job keeps me on my feet allot.

Yes I do have that urination problem too. Although I have been checked for my PSA blood count (prostate) and it was elevated at 5.2 and I am a fifty five year old. So if you are having trouble or getting up in the night for wee at silly times then get the Blood test for PSA. Unfortunately it isn't linked to the cell phone sensations I believe but like all of us here we can't find out what it is but it's got to be bladder/muscle related....trapping a nerve maybe or just old age setting in?

OK...is weird but true I am at the Job reading about this and also looking all kind of references... This is something I don't get does anyone actually know what is causing the vibrations??? or should this Buzzing be one of those Super-Califragistic rare sydromes...Men has the "VPS" Vibrating penis syndrome while women suffers "PGAD" Persistent genital arousal disorder...

So well...does anyone knows???
Remember my clock is tickling!!!

my brother in law did a bit of research and found a reliable resource that suggested is is always most likely a sacrum injury of some sort. Kinda weird because i have had this buzzing for 2 weeks and once I started doing sacrum stretches, sitting making sure I have lumbar support and not doing squalts to heavy it slowly stopped. It used to be 3 times a day then down to only during and erection down to maybe for a second here and there. I am now looking at all my daily activities that could strain my lower back or sacrum and the more I am easy with it the better I get. I think  the whole infection idea is not likely at all. Oh and a hot bath or shower works well too. good luck to everyone suffering from this.

Had for a few years.. comes and goes.

I think i figured it out. The vein in your balls is slightly twisted. when it gets out of  "alignment" if you will , then the flow of blood is causing that pulse vibrations. If you take a hot bath you will prob see the vein in the lower scrotum angled.

The way I knock it back in place IS after a hot bath either get on a thread mill and run with just shorts that dont support the balls (free hanging) and see if that will get it back in place.

only other way i found is actually have rough sex where the smacking will again knock the ball out of the veins way..

Hi guys,

I experienced this 'fluttering' feeling in the scrotum just last week all of a sudden. Basically it feels like vein/muscle of the penis vibrates/spasms every few seconds - it doesn't hurt but kind of feels like bubbles/liquid passing through - it's very annoying though and I found it hard to concentrate on everyday things. Usually it was more noticable when I was sitting or lying down. I felt this feeling just under my scrotum (in the perineum).

I thought I could sleep it off and it'd get better the next day, but it didn't - same fluttering sensation the next day aswell. By the end of the second day, the tip of my penis burned when urinating, so that wasn't a good sign either. During this time I was pretty anxious and it made it difficult to sleep at night, so the very next day I went to the doctor and told him about my symptoms:

- burning feeling when urinating
- fluttering sensation in the scrotum area (perineum to be exact)
- general discomfort/anxiety

He suspected that I might have inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) and put me on antibiotics - namely Bactrim DS. After taking two tablets every day for the past five days, I can now say that those feelings I had are over. I also did a urine test which came up negative.

So guys, if you're having these symptoms, please see a doctor, it could be prostatitis, or perhaps even an STD, don't try and wait it out because it could develop into something more nasty later on. Best to get rid of it while it's still in the early stages!

As for me, Bactrim worked great, it took about 24 hours to 'feel better' again and the fluttering feeling gradually went away after about 2 days. But make sure you keep taking the antibiotics until they're all gone so you get rid of all the bacteria.

I hope you guys can learn from my experiences because I don't want anyone else feeling the same way I did and having sleepless nights worrying over what it could be. Good luck fellow males!

Remember when people used to foolishly say that Taurine ( One of the main ingredients of Red Bull and perhaps how it got its name. I also think they were one of the first widely available publicized drinks that contained Taurine. Also Taurine is probably etymologically related to Taurus, the zodiacal sign of the heavenly bull. ) was produced from the balls ( Some claimed semen. ) of a bull. I bet this would make a bull red... Sorry for pestering you with wordplay and childish humor, I just saw the relation between the urban legend and the issue of our balls tingling, buzzing and vibrating. I haven't cured mine yet and I don't believe that this is the cause of my symptom. Hope every one of your junk is in a zen like state and as tranquil as a undisturbed pond on a windless summer morning. Cos' I can sympathize with the paranoid ideation of the tip of my **** having been replaced by a Mexican jumping bean during an abduction by illegal aliens. You can take that last sentence either way you'd like but keep in mind the resemblance that a UFO has with a sombrero. Conspiracy solved! Better contact David Icke! I actually put tape on my phallus hopeing that it would keep the sensation at bay. Also, thinking it was perhaps stress or sexual frustration, I began trying to persuade it to let me give it guided meditations or that he learn Reiki but he refused, he's kind of a **** about the whole situation. Maybe the vibrating is someone calling you trying to give you a tip. Okay I'll stop, this is getting sad. Good bye and good luck.

I previously posted thinking I had nerve problem but now realize I was completely wrong.  If you are having an ongoing severe problem and your doctor cannot find anything wrong, I would suggest reading the following book: Dr. John Sarno: Healing Back Pain.  I know you might not have back pain per se or even at all but once you read the book you will realize the connection.  I cannot do justice to the book in this response so I would just say it is well worth the read as it could cure your problem.  Again, would check with physician first but if they cannot figure it out, this book might be your answer

Here is my story.

I have had problems with so called prostatis for 15 years. I had a cystoscopy and it completely ruined my life. I kept it in check by avoiding all spicy foods, including black pepper or anything hot. Quit drinking 15 years ago, dont smoke,dont drink any soft drinks or energy drinks whatsoever. I am 43.  and I eat healthy.

My symptoms when they flare up include tingling in the urertha, and since early 2011, after having sex with my girlfriend, I started getting the buzzing in the penis and scrotum area. It went away, and recently returned around October after a new girlfriend squeezed my penis too hard. Buzz Lasted 5 weeks, took 10 days cipro and it made me sick, but the penile buzz and prostate symptom ceased.  Was constant 24/7 buzzing, along with a urethra flare up which is constant tingling, and a sensation that "feels like a stream of fluid flowing through the urethra (without the sensation of exiting the glans (glands) (glands)"...which someone else described this same thing so well, so I am using the quoted sentence and description. It went away around November only to return 3 weeks ago with a vengeance. It is constant buzzing for 3 weeks now, and the flareup as well. I am scared to take antibiotics again, but might try bactrim or Keflex.

Hello,
I have just found your post and I am experiencing the same thing with exactly the same time intervals and duration.
Did you finally find out what is the cause of that? Are you still having it? Or if it just went away, how long did it take and did you take any medication or do something to deal with it?

Please I will very appreciate very much you woull be able to answer me.
Thank you!

I have been reviewing the comments for I too had this vibration issue. It started a couple months not continuously but randomly.

Based on the comments that it may be for me a nerve in lower back issue causing the problem. I have had issues with my L5-S1 area on the spinal column - So I tried the hot tub remedy. I had one of the jacuzzi jets pointed at the S vertebrae ( the tail bone area) to massage the area for a period of time.

Since I have done that, ZERO vibrations. Did the hot tub treatment last night again as a safe measure. Going on Day 3 of  no vibrations.  It worked well for me, but may not for all. Please see a Doctor for a proper diagnosis. I will post only if conditions change for me. Just thought I would pass that on.

Thanks for your reply ISR259.

I'm in total agreement with ISR259 on this one, it could be caused by lower back problems.

I've posted on here previously before, but basically I had the same symptoms which further developed into a dull pain in the right testicle. Doctor thought that I had prostatitis or some sort of bacterial infection so prescribed Bactrim for me.

After having a few days of rest in bed and taking bactrim, the problem did go away, but the dull achy sensation on the testicle was still there and progressively got worse the following week.

Now having done a few urine tests and finding nothing, the doctor referred me to a urologist, who checked everything out (mind you there was no swelling or anything I saw on my testicles, they looked perfectly normal). So after the urologist checked me out he told me that the testicle pain is referred pain from my lower back.

And the reason for my lower back pain was excessive amounts of sitting down at the computer with a bad posture.

Guys, I can't stress this enough, you guys might have the same problem as I did - please don't sit down for too long!! take regular breaks and stretch. If you think about it - us humans weren't designed to be sitting around all day, we were made to be standing/walking/hunting and always on the move. So our body isn't made to sit down for long periods of time.

So, back to my problem - ever since I've started exercising and stretching my lower back, I've found that the pain is slowly getting less and less, and I'm confident that I'll get better with time.

I hope this helps you guys, the problem is not always at the groin area! It could be referred pain from the back!

Take care,
Jay

I came across this forum after this started happening to me. What I noticed was that a week prior to this, I started doing squats - about 30 in the morning and 30 in the afternoon. I started to feel a strange vibration in my penis after about 2-3 days. I stopped doing squats, and after a day or so after that, the vibrations went away. Not sure what squats had to do with it, but that's what worked for me. Hope this helps someone.

I have read many of the posts and have come to this conclusion, and post it here for abbreviated reading for your fellow buzzers/flutterers/spasmers:

ISSUE: The buzzing sensation (or fluter or vibration or like a spasm, just longer) in my perenium area  (the area between genitals and anus) is most probably due to pressure on nerves /muscles form over-use or not stretching or just sitting or cycling too much, (see post by dw998, above). Yes, could be nerves in lower spine too... but for now I am exploring the simplest explanations...

TREATMENT summary: no surgery ridiculousness such  injections required. just look up "piriformis stretch" and do some stretching (there is a good youtube video by a doctor who shows you how to do correctly and incorrectly in a chair), get a therapeutic/deep tissue massage.

CAUSES...Mine is probably caused/exacerbated by 1) sitting long periods and having poor core strength and posture 2) starting u cycling to work again 3 weeks ago and doing not a single stretch despite 30 km of hills each day.

as mine is just 2 weeks old, and limited to just the perineum, and not complicated by the myriad of other things you guys have come up with, I think it will be ok, but will update after i have tried the stretching and I get a message in 48 hrs time, and I'll get her to focus on piriformis etc and see where that takes me.

I've had similar symptoms to you guys: penis twitching, numbness in left buttock and left leg, numbness in testicles. It's been going on for about 7 weeks now and the doctors haven't got a clue about what it is. The biggest problem is that I've had nights when I couldn't sleep at all because of the twitch. Physiotherapy helps a little bit but the symptoms are still there. Physiotherapist thinks that my piriformis muscle is too tight which can irritate sciatic and pudendal nerves so I've been stretching it but I'm just worried that I could make it even worse. It would be interesting to hear back from dw988, it's been over a year since his original comment so it would be interesting to hear how he is doing now. He says it's not a nerve problem...then what is it? Back problem? I'm scheduled to see a neurologist in a couple of days time after having done MRI of the pelvis and lower back so we'll see. Will keep you posted.
