Hi man,

I have a very similar problem, now for 2 years. I am desperate since I can't find a solution to it and my sleeping issues are literally driving me crazy. I would like to know if you have found some sort of help or solution with this.

I recently made a post about my issues, I htink you can also relate to it. You can also see what I have tried and gone through. I hope you can give me some insights and so I to you.

Hello,
Painful erections can be caused by penis disorders, priapism( when sustained painful erection is there without any ejaculation), Peyronie’s disease, lichen sclerosis and penis disorders. Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough and investigations like blood count, ultrasound penis may be required. So please consult a urologist and get it evaluated.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
