Pain in the tip of the penis

The penis is the most private organ of men. It is also relatively fragile and needs to be well protected. Many male diseases are reflected in the penis. Some male friends find that the front end of their penis hurts after having sex, and some even have symptoms such as redness and swelling, and they don’t understand what’s going on. In fact, if this happens, the patient needs to deal with it carefully, go to the andrology department for a check-up to see if the penis is infected, and wear loose underwear to avoid putting pressure on the penis.

Causes of Penis Pain:

Differential Diagnosis

Peyronie's disease: It often occurs in middle-aged and elderly men. Illness can be mild, moderate or severe, and symptoms can develop gradually or occur overnight. Common symptoms of Peyronie's disease include:

1. Hard plaques appear on the penis that may be painless.

2. Penile curvature. A lump on the upper side of the penis will cause the penis to bend upward (this is the more common situation), while a lump on the underside of the penis will cause the penis to bend downward.

3. Some patients may have lumps on both the upper and lower sides of the penis, causing the penis to shorten and deform.
