Brief Answer:
You should get investigated

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Painful erection can be due to problem in blood supply of the penis. You should get a color Doppler of the penis and an ultrasound of the abdomen. Color Doppler will give the blood supply details.

Hope there is no history of injury. Please check your blood sugar levels. Please consult a urologist and proceed further. Nothing to worry.

Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further. Wish you good health.

Regards
