glans pain, pudenal nerve?

[cwife]

My Husband has experienced pain in his glans after ejaculation for several years.  He finally went to a Urologist who told him he doesn' t know why he would be experiencing pain, but maybe he has a fungus or infection. He was given zoloft for premature ejaculation and doxycycline for any possible infections and was told to put diaper cream on his glans.  I'm not sure this is the right course of action, wouldn't I have an infection if he did?  I've had no abnormal paps since this has occured.

The only difference between now and before his pain is that he led a much more physically active lifestyle.  Is it possible that his lack of excercise/stretching could have led to an increase of tension in his pelvic area, possible putting pressure on his pudenal nerve?

Thank you for your response, Ron.  No, the Dr. didn't view inside the urethra.  My husband did a lot of cycling in his youth and then mountain biking later on.  Maybe that is the connection.  I think I need to find him another Dr. who is willing to be more thorough.

Thanks Again!

HI,

You are most likely right about infections. As yeast for an example can be passed back and forth between husband and wife if both are not treated at the same time.

My fisrt question would be, does your husband ride a bicicle? This or even an exercise bike could cause pressure in that region.

Did the urologist do a cystoscopy or anything to view the inside of the urethra? There could be something interenal that is not visable on the outside. If there is pain in the glans or root of the penis than there could be something internal.

Just of March last year I ended up with a fistula that I did not know about. After having some symptoms and a referal to a urologist and after a cycstoscopy was this only confirmed.

Perhaps the urologist should infestigate further or you should see a different urologist.

God bless,

Ron
