faint vibrating/buzzing/spasm in penis

[stillcurious]

For the last week or so now I have had a very slight, high-frequency vibrating sensation in my penis (it feels like it is in my urethra, from about the base of the glans to the base of the penis).  It feels like varying degrees of the following sensations:

- a cellphone vibrating in my pocket
- a stream of fluid flowing through the urethra (without the sensation of exiting the glans)

It is not usually constant, but is rhythmic, that is, will come and go in intervals...  much like a pulse or breathing, but it does not coincide with either.  The rhythm varies, sometimes 1 second on and 1 second off; sometimes a few seconds of vibrations and a few second of stillness, and sometimes the vibrations are more constant, with slight variances in intensity (though always low intensity).  It is neither painful nor pleasurable but is annoying.  It is not associated with any other symptoms whatsoever: no discharges or skin, urine, or semen discolorations; no changes in consistency of urine, semen, or stool; no direct decrease in sexual function, although I am concerned that my worrying about it will decrease my ability to perform.  The sensation is so slight that it is not noticeable when I am occupied with other activities, but it consumes me when I am still.

STDs are unlikely, as both my wife and I have never had any sexual partners other than each other.  I have experinced no trauma to my penis, groin, or other structures that I am aware of.  I am 30 years old, with no history of medical issues at all...  no UTI, STD, PNE, nothing.

Does anyone know what this could be?

I too have the symptoms of the vibration like a phantom cell phone at the tip of my penis. It's been about a week and a half and sometimes it's 3 secs every 5mins and other times it's 3secs every 4 or 5 secs. It comes and goes, but knowing others have the issue as well make me believe it is nothing.

I do sit in a chair in front of a computer for 8hrs a day and I sit at home in front of a computer for 3 or 4 after working overnights. I don't masturbate and the wife and I have sex 2 or 3 times a week. I first noticed this right after a huge fight her and I got into. We had sex 5 times in a day and a half afterward.

I'd say 2 days later it started and hasn't subsided. I was about to call a urologist, but it sounds like it's common. I am a type-1 diabetic, but that doesn't seem to be the reason for it either. Thanks for this discussion.

Hi, the reason why you're having this is probably because of prostatitis particular if you're feeling it in your scrotum.  I've had mine for a year and a half now...Only been diagnosed 5 months ago..I got it from excessive masturbation...100% sure...It's more manageable now but I still have it. Sitting makes it worse so I've been sitting on a "prostate" pillow at work. Medication doesn't work if you have chronic non bacterial prostatitis which is what I have. Was taking "cipro" but had to stop, side affects are terrible. Tried chinese herbs - they help a little bit but it feels like for as long as I masturbate even if done occasionally, it'll never go away..in my case anyway. All I can advise is try not to sit at all if possible or get a special pillow like I did and cut down on sex/masturbation if that's what caused it in the first place. Good luck!
