Many conditions might cause tingling in penis, requires clinical evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in details.
There are many causes for tingling sensation involving the penis.
(i) It can be due to sexually transmitted infections like genital herpes, chlamydia or gonorrhea.
(ii) Tingling can occur in conditions like diabetes.
(iii) Nerve injuries (sensory nerves) can also cause tingling sensation in penis.
(iv) Non sexual infections like prostatitis and urethritis due to bacteria can be a reason for tingling in penis.
(v) Kidney stones can cause tingling in penis
(vi) Allergy of any kind might also lead to tingling sensations felt in the penis.
(vii) Rarely there can be other serious causes involving spinal cord or brain.

Tingling is not an isolated complaint in many conditions and other symptoms also need to be looked for like any skin changes, discharge from urethra, pains else where in the body and related to use of any allergy causing substance.

It is important that you consult your urologist and get detailed clinical examination done to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
