What Causes Tingling Sensation At The Tip Of The Penis?

Posted on Tue, 16 Aug 2016

Question: Periodically, I will feel an almost undetectable, sensation at the tip of my Penis. Almost like a slight "tingle". The sensation is so subtle I am not even sure if it is real, or something that I am starting to imagine. I only notice it when sitting still. No other symptoms or changes to report. I am a 60 year old male in very good condition, with no health issues that I am aware of.

Brief Answer:
Minute abarasions

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sometimes either due to sexual activity or due to rubbing of the genitals to the inner wear, foreskin sustains minute abrasions. These abrasions when exposed to secretions or urine can produce mild tingling sensation.

These abrasions can be seen in all and heal themselves without any intervention.

Need not worry, unless you see evident lesions on the foreskin or anywhere on the penis.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
