Strained penis muscle/ligament? Damage?
Hi
About 8 days ago I awoke in the middle of the night with a painful erection (first time I have experienced this)
In the days that followed, I tried to asess the situation myself:
The pain recurs mostly during/whilst developing erections but sometimes also depending on movements ie) when excersizing/jogging etc.. The area is very sensitive and mastubating would clearly bring more pain..
The location of the pain is on the top side, at the base of the penis running up the shaft about an inch.
My initial thoughts were that this was some sort of vain rupture,blockage or trauma.
I went to my GP who examined me and suggested that it was most likely the result some minor muscle damage inside the penis as a result of a prolonged erection or slight trauma. I was prescribed Difrene as a pain-killer/antiinflammaory and told it would resolve itself.
The problem seemed to be getting better but now in the last two days I have become more aware of it again. I have not masterbated for fear of further aggrivating the situation
It was quite hard to present this to the GP as it is mostly prevailing when either erect, or developing an erection. When I examine the penis in this state, I can feel a slightly enlarged ligament? in the area (well what feels like a ligament running up the penis to the right of the centre)
Does this sound like anything you would be familiar with? Do you think the GP's assessment is correct and it is most likely superficial damage that will heal over a week or two?
Many thanks for your help. I am 28 years old by the way

This sounds kind of similar to what I have going on with me. A couple weeks ago, I was running and ran into the corner of something full force right into my groin. The next day, there was a huge knot and bruise right above my penis and to the left. I had no problem getting an erection, but I noticed that if I tried to bend it down (my penis normally sticks up against my abdomen) for sex, masturbation, or even so it doesn't hit the toilet bowl when I'm on the can or sometimes if I run and it bounces, basically anything putting pressure on the area where it connects to my pelvis, a sharp pain would immediately shoot up through it. Now the knot and bruise are almost entirely gone, but I'm noticing where my penis connects to my pelvis, the left side has a tight little bump and the ligaments or tissue that connects it to my pelvis are tight and cord-like rather than soft. I'm hoping it's the same as some others have had here, it'll be back to normal in about 6 weeks, but since it happened out of blunt force impact instead of rough or prolonged sex, I wanted to get some second opinions. I unfortunately don't have a doctor I can go to in the area I live so my only options are the ER and a health clinic as far as professional opinions go.
I will return to let you guys know what my urologist says, I am returning to the same practice that performed my vasectomy 6 years ago, figure they know the most about my reproductive organs outside of my wife and I
I have experienced pretty much the same thing, I was about to have sex with my wife 3 days ago and the pain happened, there is a small knot at the base of the penis on top and it only really bothers me with erections, no other issues. I am going to go and see a urologist tomorrow. I am going to cease all sexual activity, I did not tell my wife until last night so we are stopping having sex at this time and we will see what the doctor has to say about this, from what I have read 4-6 weeks recovery time will be quite difficult butt if it has to be it will have to be

Hey Guys I've gone through the each and every comments scribbled here. Since I'm sailing the same boat. It goes like this- I've masturbated for like 3 days in a regular, and developed the same issue as you guys are explaining with no bumped region no urination problem etc. but there is a mild and dull pain, like some one impinging the injection needle at the base of your penis.It develops while touching the area to find out the exact location of your pain.After that minuscule pain vanishes. It has been 3 days now that i have started manipulating different option available like visiting any urologist or take rest with complete so that it goes off of its own. exploring option of taking rest would be better choice.
5 days ago my girlfriend gave me an aggressive hand job, she pulled my **** really hard and tugged it, at the time felt good. However that night I woke up 3 times with excruciating pain in my penis and an erection, if I get an erection it's very very painful sex and masturbation is extremely painfully, i wake up 5 times with painful erections and standing up with and erection is terribly painful the weight of my penis pulls down and causes IMENSE pain at the base of my penis and under my gooch, my penis constantly feels warm as if it's filled with blood I guess that's the body trying to repair damage. Wearing tight underwear seems to help as my penis can't swing and pull down causing pain. Do you guys think it's just torn muscle fibers? Thanks
