Q: Painful penis

asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 13th, 2007

Back in July, after a few intense masturbation sessions, I started sensing a pain in the left side of my penis. Sometimes it lingers, but for the most part I only feel it when fully erect or masturbating.

More importantly, there is a small area on the underside midway through the shaft that is tender and painful to touch, which causes a major problem for any sexual activity. For the first few months this tenderness went away after a few days and returned with sex/masturbation, but now it is tender to touch almost all the time. I have taken a 10 day break from all sexual activity. Is there any thing else I should be doing?

Yes, you can visit an urologist to examine the cause of pain in the left side of the penis.
