What Causes Discomfort In Penis And Stinging Sensation During Urination?
Hi, I started having some discomfort in my penis closer to the head. It stings a little when I pee but mostly when I m done and usually goes away in a few minutes or within the hour. It feels like there s a blockage in that particular part. Used to be a little lower but now it s closer to the head. I don t get any other pain so I m curious to know if it will go away on its own or should I seek medical help like a face to face doctor and/or some medicine.

Hi,
These symptoms are suggestive of uroinfection and this is common in your age and usually is manifested with pain during urination, fever and changes in urination frequency.
Also, blood traces may be present in urine which can have odour or colour change. Other common cause are urinary stones.
Diagnosis is established by doing urine analysis and urinoculture and after this antibiotic treatment may be started if necessary.
If there is negative urine analysis then you should do ultrasound of kidneys to check for stones. You should drink plenty of fluids and take raspberry tea or juice to promote urination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
