Aam wajohat

Sir aur foreskin

  • Sir ki soojan (balanitis). Dard, surkhi, kharish aur kabhi discharge ya badboo. Yeh yeast infection, theek se na sukhane, sabun ya wash se jalan, ya diabetes ki wajah se ho sakta hai.
  • Tang foreskin (phimosis), jis se foreskin dukhti aur phat sakti hai, aur erection ya jima mein dard ho sakta hai.
  • Foreskin sir ke peechay phans jana (paraphimosis). Sir soja hua aur dard wala ho jata hai. Yeh emergency hai.
  • Skin mein chhota phat jana, ya condom, sabun ya cream se allergy.

Peshab ki nali (urethra)

  • Peshab ki nali ya bladder ka infection, peshab mein jalan aur kabhi discharge ke saath (dekhein peshab ki jalan guide).
  • Jinsi taluq se lagne wala infection. Yeh jalan, discharge aur dard ki aam wajah hain, aur khamosh bhi ho sakte hain. Isay hona aap ke bare mein kuch bura nahi batata. Test raazdari se hota hai, aur saathi ko bhi ilaaj chahiye.
  • Nali ka tang hona (stricture) ya chhoti pathri ka guzarna (dekhein urethral stricture guide).

Prostate aur qareebi ghudood

  • Prostate ki soojan ya infection (prostatitis). Is se ejaculation par dard, neechle pait, scrotum ke peechay ya penis mein dard, peshab mein jalan, aur kabhi bukhar ho sakta hai.
  • Testicle aur uski nali ki soojan (epididymo-orchitis), jis se groin aur penis tak phailne wala dard ho sakta hai (dekhein epididymo-orchitis guide).
  • Pelvis ka lamba dard, kabhi pelvic floor ke sakht pattho ke saath aur infection ke baghair. Yeh haqeeqi hai, aur waqt aur sahi madad se qabil-e-ilaaj hai.
  • Prostate ya pelvis ke operation ya radiotherapy ke baad, ejaculation par dard ho sakta hai aur aam tor par behtar ho jata hai.

Shaft

  • Peyronie's disease. Shaft mein sakht tukra ghoomna, gaanth aur kabhi erection mein dard paida karta hai. Yeh aam hai aur aksar waqt ke saath theek ya mustaqil ho jata hai.
  • Chot. Khade penis ka achanak mur jana, kabhi aawaz ya dhamake ke saath, dard, soojan aur neel, penile fracture hai, jo emergency hai.
  • Aisa dard wala erection jo theek na ho (priapism) aur jinsi jazbay se na ho. Yeh bhi emergency hai.

Larkon mein, phooli ya soji hui foreskin ke saath dard, ya peshab na kar pana, usi din doctor ko dikhane ka taqaza karta hai.

Jaanch aam tor par kaise hoti hai

Aap ke doctor poochhenge ke dard kahan hai, kab aata hai (peshab, erection ya ejaculation), kya discharge, semen mein khoon, bukhar ya chot hai, aur kya aap ko diabetes hai. Aap se aap ki jinsi sehat ke bare mein raazdari se aur bina kisi faislay ke poochha jayega, kyunke is se ilaaj badalta hai. Woh foreskin, shaft, groin aur scrotum ka muaina karenge, aur prostate ka bhi kar sakte hain. Aam tests yeh hain:

  • Peshab ka test, infection aur khoon ke liye.
  • Swab ya pehle peshab ka sample, agar jinsi taluq se lagne wale infection ka imkaan ho.
  • Skin ka swab, agar sir ya foreskin soji ho.
  • Khoon ki shakkar ka test, kyunke diabetes baar baar dard aur infection ki aam wajah hai.
  • Ultrasound, penis ki gaanth ya plaque ke liye, ya scrotum ya prostate ka agar un ka shak ho.
  • Dhaar ka test, bladder scan ya peshab ki nali ka camera test, agar tang hone ka shak ho.

Fauran madad kab lein

Agar penis ya ejaculation par dard ho aur in mein se koi bhi ho to fauran qareebi hospital ke emergency department jayein:

  • Dard wala erection jo khud theek na ho aur jinsi jazbay se na ho. Meherbani karke is ke baith jane ka intezar na karein.
  • Achanak dard, dhamaka ya aawaz, soojan ya neel jab jima ya chot mein penis mur jaye.
  • Foreskin peechay kheenchi hui jo wapas na aaye, soje hue, dard wale sir ke saath.
  • Aap peshab nahi kar pa rahe (dekhein peshab na aane ki guide).
  • Bukhar ya kapkapi pelvis, scrotum ke peechay ya peshab karte waqt dard ke saath. Infected prostate sanjeeda ho sakti hai.
  • Kisi testicle mein achanak shadeed dard (dekhein scrotum mein dard ya soojan ki guide).
  • Phailti hui surkhi, kaali ya siyah khaal, ya badboo shadeed dard aur bukhar ke saath, khaas tor par agar aap ko diabetes ho.
  • Shair khwar ya larka jis ki foreskin phooli, soji ho, ya jo ro raha ho aur peshab na kar pa raha ho.

In mein se kisi ke baghair halka dard, discharge ya ejaculation par dard ko emergency department ki zaroorat nahi, lekin jaldi jaanch zaroori hai. Meherbani karke is ke theek hone ka intezar na karein.

Ab kya karein

  • Aise doctor ko dikhayein jis par aap bharosa karte hain, aur saaf batayein ke dard kahan aur kab hota hai. Aap tanhai mein dikhane ke liye keh sakte hain.
  • Medical store se antibiotics, steroid cream ya goliyan na kharidein, aur jari booti ya hakeem ki cheezein istemal na karein. Yeh infection chhupa sakti hain, skin ko bigaad sakti hain aur sahi ilaaj mein deri kar sakti hain.
  • Jagah saaf aur khushk rakhein. Roz saade garam paani se narmi se dhoyein, agar foreskin aasani se hile to narmi se peechay karein, aur achhi tarah sukhayein. Sir par sabun, khushbu wale wash aur tez cream se bachein.
  • Dikhane aur ilaaj hone tak jinsi taluq se parhez karein, aur agar karein to condom istemal karein. Agar infection nikle to poochhein ke saathi ka bhi muaina hona chahiye. Saathi ko batana mushkil hota hai, aur doctor aap ki is mein madad kar sakta hai.
  • Agar aap ko diabetes hai, to khoon ki shakkar qaabu mein rakhein. Zyada shakkar se dard aur infection ka imkaan bohat barh jata hai.
  • Khade penis ko mooren ya zor na dein, aur dard ke dauran sakht handling ya jima se bachein.
  • Pelvis ya prostate ke dard ke liye, garam pani ka tub, sakht seat par der tak na baithna, aur halka chalna aaram de sakta hai.
  • Koi nayi dawai, operation ya chot doctor ko zaroor batayein, kyunke yeh kabhi dard ki wajah hoti hain.
  • Urologist ko dikhayein agar dard baar baar aaye, shaft mein ghoomna ya gaanth ho, semen mein khoon ho, foreskin tang ho, ya scrotum ke peechay ya pelvis mein dard ho.

Aam sawalaat

Kya ejaculation par dard khatarnak hai?

Aam tor par nahi. Aam wajohat prostate ya peshab ki nali ki soojan ya infection hain, jin ka ilaaj ho sakta hai. Lekin agar yeh baar baar ho, ya bukhar, semen mein khoon ya peshab mein jalan ke saath ho, to jaanch zaroori hai.

Kya iska matlab hai ke mujhe jinsi taluq se lagne wala infection hai?

Hamesha nahi, lekin ho sakta hai. Yeh infections aam hain aur khamosh ho sakte hain, is liye waqt se kuch sabit nahi hota. Aap se raazdari se aur bina faislay ke poochha jayega kyunke is se ilaaj badalta hai. Saathi ko bhi ilaaj ki zaroorat ho sakti hai.

Kya masturbation ya baar baar jima nuqsan ya bimari paida karte hain?

Nahi. Yeh myths hain, aur in se kamzori ya bimari nahi hoti. Lekin sakht handling ya ragad skin ko khafa kar sakti hai, aur jo dard baar baar aaye uski jaanch zaroori hai.

Meri foreskin tang aur dard wali hai. Kya mujhe khatna karwana parega?

Hamesha nahi. Doctor pehle foreskin ke ilaaj ka mashwara de sakte hain, aur agar masla baar baar aaye ya foreskin peechay na ho sake to chhota sa operation, khatna samait, tajweez ho sakta hai. Meherbani karke pehle doctor ko dikhayein.

Khade hone par mera penis mur jata hai aur dukhta hai. Yeh kya hai?

Yeh Peyronie's disease ho sakti hai. Yeh aam hai, aksar khud theek ho jati hai ya mustaqil ho jati hai, aur agar jima mushkil ho to ilaaj mojood hain. Meherbani karke urologist ko dikhayein, aur agar erection bhi mutasir ho to erectile dysfunction guide dekhein.

Kya fikr ya zehni dabao se dard ho sakta hai?

Yeh pelvis ke dard aur sakht pattho ko barha sakte hain, lekin meherbani karke isay wajah tab tak na manein jab tak doctor infection aur doosri wajohat dekh na lein. Jismani wajohat ka ilaaj hone ke baad dabao ka ilaaj madad karta hai.

Kya is se meri fertility par asar parega?

Kuch wajohat, jaise prostate ya testicle ki nali ka infection, sperm ko mutasir kar sakti hain, aur ilaaj se madad milti hai. Agar aap aur aap ki biwi bachay ki koshish kar rahe hain to meherbani karke batayein. Dekhein male infertility guide.

Kya diabetes se penis par dard hota hai?

Haan. Khoon ki zyada shakkar sir aur foreskin ke yeast aur doosre infections ka imkaan barhati hai, jo baar baar ho sakte hain. Khoon ki shakkar ka test jaanch ka hissa hai.

What this symptom is

This guide covers pain in or on the penis, and pain during or after ejaculation. The pain may be on the skin of the head or foreskin, along the urine tube, in the shaft when it is erect, or deeper in the pelvis. It may come on with passing urine, with an erection, or only with ejaculation.

Where penile pain or pain on ejaculation can come from, and what different patterns can suggest Two drawings. On the left, a simplified drawing of the penis from the front with the head and foreskin, the shaft, the prostate and the seminal vesicles; gold dots mark where pain can start. On the right, four patterns: a sore, itchy head or foreskin, often balanitis or a tight foreskin; burning with urine or discharge, which can suggest infection of the urine tube or bladder; pain on ejaculation with a pelvic ache, which can suggest inflammation of the prostate or nearby glands; and a bend, lump or painful erection, which can suggest Peyronie's disease or an injury to the shaft. A painful erection that will not settle is an emergency. Where the pain can come from What the pattern can suggest Seminal vesicle Prostate Shaft Head and foreskin Simplified drawing.

Simplified drawing. Pain can start in the head and foreskin, the shaft, the prostate or the seminal vesicles. Gold dots show where. The right side shows common patterns and what each can suggest, but only an examination can tell the causes apart.

It is a common reason for embarrassment, and many men wait too long to speak to a doctor. Please do not. Doctors see this every day, and most of the causes are simple to treat.

Common causes

The head and foreskin

  • Inflammation of the head of the penis (balanitis). Soreness, redness, itching and sometimes discharge or a bad smell. It can come from a yeast infection, poor drying, irritation from soap or washes, or diabetes.
  • A tight foreskin (phimosis), which can make the skin sore and tear, and can cause pain with erections or sex.
  • A foreskin stuck behind the head (paraphimosis). The head becomes swollen and painful. This is an emergency.
  • A small tear in the skin, or an allergy to a condom, soap or cream.

The urine tube (urethra)

  • An infection of the urine tube or bladder, with burning when passing urine and sometimes discharge (see the burning when passing urine guide).
  • An infection passed on by sexual contact. These are a common cause of burning, discharge and pain, and they can also be silent. Having one does not say anything bad about you. Testing is private, and partners need treatment too.
  • A narrowing (stricture) or a small stone passing (see the urethral stricture guide).

The prostate and nearby glands

  • Inflammation or infection of the prostate (prostatitis). It can cause pain on ejaculation, aching in the lower tummy, behind the scrotum or in the penis, burning when passing urine, and sometimes fever.
  • Inflammation of the testicle and its tube (epididymo-orchitis), which can give pain that spreads to the groin and penis (see the epididymo-orchitis guide).
  • Long-term pelvic pain, sometimes with tight pelvic floor muscles and without any infection. It is real, and treatable with time and the right help.
  • After prostate or pelvic surgery or radiotherapy, pain on ejaculation can occur and usually improves.

The shaft

  • Peyronie's disease. A hard plaque in the shaft causes a bend, a lump, and sometimes pain with erections. It is common and often settles or becomes stable over time.
  • An injury. A sudden bend of an erect penis, sometimes with a snap or pop, pain, swelling and bruising, is a penile fracture, which is an emergency.
  • A painful erection that does not settle (priapism) and is not caused by sexual excitement. This is also an emergency.

In boys, pain with a swollen or ballooned foreskin, or being unable to pass urine, needs a doctor's check the same day.

How it is usually investigated

Your doctor will ask where the pain is, when it comes (passing urine, an erection, or ejaculation), whether there is discharge, blood in the semen, fever or an injury, and whether you have diabetes. You will be asked about your sexual health privately and without judgement, because it changes the treatment. They will examine the foreskin, shaft, groin and scrotum, and may examine the prostate. Usual tests are:

  • A urine test, for infection and blood.
  • A swab or first-catch urine sample, if an infection passed on by sexual contact is possible.
  • A skin swab, if the head or foreskin is inflamed.
  • A blood sugar test, because diabetes is a common cause of repeated soreness and infection.
  • An ultrasound scan, of the penis for a lump or plaque, or of the scrotum or prostate if those are suspected.
  • A flow test, bladder scan or camera test of the urine tube, if a narrowing is suspected.

When to seek urgent help

Go to the nearest hospital emergency department if you have penile pain or pain on ejaculation and any of these:

  • A painful erection that does not settle by itself and is not caused by sexual excitement. Please do not wait for it to go down.
  • Sudden pain, a snap or pop, swelling or bruising after the penis was bent during sex or an injury.
  • A foreskin pulled back that will not go forward again, with a swollen, painful head.
  • You cannot pass urine (see the unable to pass urine guide).
  • Fever or shaking chills with pain in the pelvis, behind the scrotum or on passing urine. An infected prostate can become serious.
  • Sudden severe pain in a testicle (see the scrotal pain or swelling guide).
  • Spreading redness, dark or black skin, or a foul smell with severe pain and fever, especially if you have diabetes.
  • A baby or boy with a ballooned, swollen foreskin, or who is crying and cannot pass urine.

Mild soreness, discharge or pain on ejaculation without any of these does not need the emergency department, but it should be checked soon. Please do not wait for it to settle.

What to do next

  • See a doctor you trust, and say plainly where and when it hurts. You can ask to be seen in private.
  • Do not buy antibiotics, steroid creams or tablets from a counter, or use herbal or hakeem products. They can hide an infection, make the skin worse and delay the right treatment.
  • Keep the area clean and dry. Wash gently with plain warm water each day, pull the foreskin back gently if it moves easily, and dry well. Avoid soap, perfumed washes and strong creams on the head.
  • Avoid sex until you have been seen and treated, and use a condom if you do have sex. If an infection is found, ask whether your partner should also be checked. Telling a partner is hard, and your doctor can help you with how.
  • If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar under control. High sugar makes soreness and infection much more likely.
  • Do not bend or force an erect penis, and avoid rough handling or sex while it is sore.
  • For pelvic or prostate aching, a warm bath, avoiding long sitting on hard seats, and gentle walking can ease it.
  • Mention any new medicine, operation or injury to your doctor, because they sometimes explain the pain.
  • See a urologist if the pain keeps coming back, if there is a bend or lump in the shaft, if there is blood in the semen, if your foreskin is tight, or if you have pain behind the scrotum or in the pelvis.

Common questions

Is pain on ejaculation dangerous?

Usually it is not. The common causes are inflammation or infection of the prostate or urine tube, which can be treated. But it should be checked if it keeps happening, or if it comes with fever, blood in the semen or burning when passing urine.

Does it mean I have a sexually passed infection?

Not always, but it can. These infections are common and can be silent, so timing proves nothing. You will be asked in private and without judgement because it changes the treatment. Partners may also need treatment.

Do masturbation or frequent sex cause damage or disease?

No. These are myths, and they do not cause weakness or illness. But rough handling or friction can irritate the skin, and any pain that keeps coming back needs a check.

My foreskin is tight and sore. Will I need circumcision?

Not always. A doctor may suggest treatments for the skin first, and a small operation, including circumcision, can be advised if the problem keeps coming back or the foreskin cannot be pulled back. Please see a doctor first.

My penis bends when it is erect, and it hurts. What is this?

It may be Peyronie's disease. It is common, often settles on its own or becomes stable, and treatments exist if it makes sex difficult. Please see a urologist, and see the erectile dysfunction guide if erections are also affected.

Can stress or anxiety cause the pain?

They can make pelvic pain and tight muscles worse, but please do not accept this as the cause until a doctor has checked for infection and other causes. Treating the stress helps once physical causes are dealt with.

Will it affect my fertility?

Some causes, such as infection of the prostate or the testicle's tube, can affect sperm, and treating them helps. If you and your wife are trying for a child, please mention it. See the male infertility guide.

Does diabetes cause soreness of the penis?

Yes. High blood sugar makes yeast and other infections of the head and foreskin more likely, and they can keep coming back. A blood sugar test is part of the check.
