I am a 19 year old male and have these same symptoms, especially when engaging in physical activity but am not sure what it's from. Just know you're not the only one out there with these symptoms. Good luck.

I'm 27 and I also get a pain between my anus and scrotum I only get it when i do an extreem sport or jump off a wall (!) So doesn't happen often lol ... I think its a hernia but what do I know? Its crippling I tell ya.

Help?!

48 yr old male who recently started having a very intense burning and painful sensation in my perineum, testes and penis. Freaking out, I went to an urgent care facility because it was something I'd never experienced before. The doctor put me on 28 days of cipro thinking I had a bacterial infection of the prostate. At 48 I could not believe I'd be having these problems but I dutifully took the poison and my symptoms eased somewhat, but did not totally vanish. The meds were brutal, sometimes I felt like I could not breathe, panic attacks, nausea I mean really bad, made it thru though. but the burning got worse when I finished the antibiotics! I had made an appt with my regular doctor after the initial diagnosis to let her in on what was happening with me. When I saw her 10 days after finishing the cipro, she checked me out, (Prostate) just fine, nothing abnormal and said she thought I had a yeast infection, never had one before! What do I know about yeast infection? She gave me Nystatin cream and it went away in 3 days. The first doc at the urgent care had me convinced this was the way it was going to be for the rest of my life pain ,maybe prostate cancer, I didn't sleep for more than a month because i just thought my prostate would have to be removed some day... just goes to show ya...get a second opinion. After all that...Nuts eh?

Unifier - Did you ever find out what was causing this? I have had the same perineal pain for the last 12 years. It happens when I jump if I don't absorb most of the jolt with my knees, and I even get it sometimes if I sneeze very hard.
I have asked my PCP a few times, but he does not seem to think it is anything to be concerned with.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I don't ever remember not jumping from something relatively high and not getting perineum pain. I always thought it was normal. However the last week I have had sharp pains in my perineum with a lot of lower across the back pain also. My urine which is normally light colored is now pretty dark. I have an appointment to see a urologist tomorrow. I hope he can figure it out quickly as the pain is at times relatively intense.

Thanks noiro. It would be great if you could post anything you learn.

i get it when i sneeze as well (!) i really need to see the doc eh?

I however get anal cramps zaps every now and then too but the perineum hurts quite a bit especially when pressure is applied ... sports kill me when I cut quickly ... it's happening for a year from today which was a month plus after taking the screws out of my back. Turns out I have minor nerve damage at s1 but that doesnt really explain the perineum problem.

gents i too have been having this pain for some time. i talked to my doctor today and i am going in for a check up on friday. the pain is dull when i pee and a little bit more after i ejaculate. It will also hurt when im just sitting or hanging around. i did a self check on my scrotum and then work my way down to my anus. The pain is coming from a quarter inch in my body about half an inch from my anus (taint area). I pushed on it to see my pain level and now its aching. Yeast infection, STD, cancer???? anyone 26/m.

I would be very interested to hear anyone's results...I've been having really tight cramping in my perineum for years whenever I sneeze sharply, and it has always made me worried but gotten filed into the "I hope that doesn't mean anything" drawer of my brain. I feel like it must also be connected to generalized tension in my perineum during erection and ejaculation. That has not been nearly as sharp a cramp but has been more consistent and perhaps increasing gradually over the past year.

Pain is usually between the scrotum and anal area. I thought I was the only one until i saw this website. Since I was in College I've had this and now I'm 26 and I still have it. If I touch the part between my scrotum and anus there is a tender part there and it has a slight bump. Wish a doctor or someone could answer these questions.

Guys, its probably a hernia. I've been fobbed off by a doctor before so don't let them do this!!!

When I was in the libray last week I went to piss.. During which I got these shooting pains down there between my balls and anus. It is the same pain I usually get when I jump off a wall or a central reservation.

I suddenly 'felt' that I needed to place my hand down there and comfort the area. And when I did, I felt a bulge where there was no bulge before. I don't evn know why but I felt the urge to 'push' this bulge inwards and the pain went. After the pain went, I notices by touching the area that there was a frickin hole there!!

It has to be a hernia. Do you think the doctor will give a s**t now? I hope so, I mean if not I will loose all hope in modern medicine!!

I'll join the club, good to know I'm not alone out there. I've had this problem for about 10 years; pain in the perineum area between the anus and scrotum where a section of the urethra passes.

The first time I was aware of it was when I jumped down from a low wall as in the original post. I think I might have jumped down from something once since but have avoinded doing so thereafter as the pain was so excruciating on each occasion albeit short lived.

I occasionally experience nearly as intense pain randomly every once in while for a few seconds whilst urinating during which I can barely remain standing which has caused several misses I'm afraid to report! Sorry for the gorry details but I just want to make sure I give an accurate account for people to be able to compare symptoms.

I can also occasionally feel an ever so slight amount of pain when I sneeze as some others have commented and I think it has worsened slightly over the years as I now find it too uncomfortable to ride a bicycle and even certain hard chairs are not too comfortable although bearable.

I sometimes feel a slight discomfort at various stages during sexual arousal.
The other symptoms I experience which could be related is slight burning sensation in the urethra near the tip of the penis on occasion while urinating as well as after ejaculation.

I have mentioned these symptoms to my GP before without getting anywhere but I think I will go back now with the list of all these sympoms and ask them for appropriate tests.

Thank you Unifier for your suggestion, I had not thought of a hernia. Although wouldn't it be quite painful most of time when moving about (which is not my case)? I also haven't noticed any abnormalities like holes etc... I'll report any new information from my GP and any test results.

Ran a search to see if other were experiencing something like this - and good thing I'm not alone. Though I have no pain, and am pretty sure its not hernia related. What I've been getting the past 2 weeks is an occasional series of twitching or rumbling in the perineum. Usually lasts about 10-15 minutes, with each twitch lasting about 3 seconds. Researched some other sites, and they are suggesting its a gastro issue. That makes sense, since I just started getting heartburn and all that fun stuff 2 years ago. I'm 33 now.

NO IDEA what the hell is going on and rarely go to the doctor. Hope it goes away soon. Any input appreciated!

i have suffered with this pain for the past 8 years, i have intense burning between my scrotum and anus sometimes i feel i want to pee but dont, if i touch it it hurts. i have been under the pain clinic at my hospital for 8 years and have never got a diagnoses, i use accupuncture on myself and a drug which is also used for epelepsy, most of the time it works but at present i am in aggony, any thoughts, scott 42

get it sewn up by a physician!

good luck guys - eek!

i have these similar sensations, tho like coolpapa20, i'm not in any noticeable amounts of pain. i also have been going to the urologist because of a prostate issue. it takes me a while to urinate. at any rate, my urolgist recommended i see a gastroenterologist because he suspects they're somehow tied. as in, a hypothetical: that same twitching somehow affects the overstimulation of the nerves in the anus, resulting in more frequent bouts of liquid-stage fecal matter, which looks like diarhhea but isn't? is that what he's suggesting? cause i've been experiencing exactly that.

also, i've been using elavil to treat the prostate issue and these symptoms began at the same time, ergo side effect?

but, unlike most of you, i don't jump off walls or even do sports. i, like the other man who mentioned he got these twitches from sitting or hanging around, am pretty much a couch potato by night/sit in an office chair by day.

might i suggest it has something to do with the amount of pressure we're putting on our lower most exposed reproductive/waste organs by either a) absorbing shock; or b) by lack of mobility combined with the pressure of focalizing the weight onto our "sitting bones" area, where our perineum also absorbs unnecessary weight?

I have a pain in my perineum area? Any suggestions??

The Perineum is the area of skin between your legs between your genitals and your anus.

The Perineum can become irritated from over stretching during exercise, or from excessive pressures whilst on the loo.

If your the kind of person who reads a book while on the lav and you are experiencing the problems above, try spending a shorter period of time on the loo, use soft loo roll and hope fully your symptoms will go away.

If your exercising frequently and stretching a lot as part of this, make sure you keep the whole area including and around the Perineum as dry as possible, ensure the area is clean and dry before and after exercise- try not to let the skin dry atmospherically but by gently applying pressure with a clean towel. Talcum powder may help (putting a tiny bit in your underwear), but make sure it is not perfumed and the area is clean and dry before use.
It is very important that you warm up before/during exercise.


If your symptoms persist or get worse go to your GP immediately. If your experiencing pain in your penis or anus simultaneously, go to the doctor and explain in full detail the problems you are having. He/She can�t help you if you don�t tell them everything because of embarrassment.
