Question : I am having pain in my penis. It is like a constant burning sensation or stinging on the inside toward the end of the penis. It is becoming worse during the day and seems to be occurring with more intensity off and on. Hard to explain, never had anything like this before. Do not have fever that I know of and not other symptoms.

Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to muscle fatigue. Taking juicy fruits should help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the details provided and understand your concerns. Ideally a clinical examination would have been needed but that is beyond the scope of this online discussion. I need to ask if you are sexually active and whether your penis has been active recently (even if it is masturbation). Muscle fatigue could lead to such a presentation and I would insist you to take juicy fruits like citrus fruits since they contain plenty of potassium. If that does not help, I would insist you to visit a doctor and to get yourself evaluated.

I would await your response.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
