Dr. Wang Jianlong
Penile pain may be caused by conditions such as balanoposthitis or incorrect posture during sexual intercourse. Additionally, if urinary tract stones are present, the passage of stones through the urethra can cause irritation and lead to penile pain. Other associated symptoms may include split urine stream and difficulty urinating, which could result in complete urethral obstruction and urinary retention. Patients experiencing penile pain should seek medical evaluation. A doctor can perform a physical examination to initially determine the underlying cause and decide on appropriate management and pain relief strategies.
