The symptoms of a penile disorder are often easy to spot, because they frequently cause immediate discomfort or noticeable effects.  Minor abnormalities of the penis during erection are common.  However, anytime the following symptoms interfere with sexual activity or urination, they should be evaluated by a urologist.  These signs and symptoms could indicate other, more serious problems with the penis:

• General pain or painful erections
• A persistent erection that lasts from several hours to a few days
• Pain during sex
• A bent or curved erect penis
• A lump on the upper or lower side of the penis
• Inflammation of the skin on the penis head
• Inflammation of the mucosa on the foreskin
• Foul smell from the penis
• Swollen glans or foreskin
• Pain during foreskin retraction
• Abnormal discharge
• Bleeding
• Growths or sores on the penis
• The inability to get an erection

It's important to remember that problems with the penis can not only cause pain, but they can affect a man's sexual function and fertility.
