ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ENLARGED PROSTATE - PENIS PAIN

QUESTION: I am experiencing penis pain also when i urinate. Is this related to my enlarged prostate.


ANSWER: Hi,

Partially, your pain is related to your enlarged prostate gland. However, there are many other factors that can contribute to penis pain, including:

urinary tract infection - when infected urine passes the infected urethra

genital infections, including urethral ones.

trauma to penis, including those during sexual contact.

Most probably, when you have enlarged prostate, the most common causes of penis pain are due to uro-genital infection. Once you treat the infections, you will not experience the pain.

Sometimes, when the prostate gland has huge size, it can suppress the nearby nerves, causing pain of the pelvic organs, including penis.

Check with your urologist whether the pain is caused by a trauma or uro-genital infection to get the right treatment.
