What Causes A Pin Prick Sensation On Penis Head?
Question: When i squeeze head of penis i feel a pin prick sensation, when left alone no pain ?
Brief Answer:
Mucosal rupture at tip of urethra could be the cause. Rest will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Pain at the tip of the penis, if present without any discharge - whitish or yellowish, should not be any infection.
2. Fast passage of urine (especially, if a stone has passed) or after ejaculation, if there is a slight urethral mucosal rupture, it can cause pain. However, you need to avoid ejaculation for 3-4 days to allow the mucosa to heal and recover. Avoid squeezing head of the penis until then.
3. You might be prone to stones, so good hydration is essential. Take at least 5-6 liters of water per day.
4. If you have any discharge or burning urination or fever, discharge or urine microscopic examination will be essential. If none of these symptoms are present, not to worry, it will go away in a few days. No medication is necessary.
Hope it helps.
