What Causes Intermittent Stinging Pain In The Penis?

I have a stinging pain in my penis, I thought I might have a uti and had my urine checked, but the results were negative, my family doctor checked my groin area but did not see anything out of the ordinary, my wife said to use vaseline, that seemed to ease the stinging a little but it still is bothering me, I had radiation for prostate cancer, and I am on the hormone lupron, and the side effects are numerous, I wash it every day, the pain is not excruitiating but is very annoying, any advice

Hi,

These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse.

So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common.

In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so test should be done as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be started. Till that try to drink plenty of fluids, avoid sexual intercourse and rest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeo
