Suggest Treatment For Discomfort And Tenderness In Penis And Anal Area
I am 52, 6 feet tall and weigh 160 pounds. I am very active physically for recreation, either walking or cycling. I cycle more in the summer and about a month ago I noticed nonspecific discomfort in the area between my penis and anus while out cycling immediately after having a double espresso...an unusual dosage of caffeine for me. I am a physiotherapy (orthopedics) lecturer who has not practiced in almost 20 years. I have palpated the area and found no specific areas of tenderness or swelling though I have varicosities in my scrotum of long standing. I had the prostate blood test this spring and it was negative and this was the second negative test in the past 4 years. I have also had 2 colonoscopies in the last 15 years, both negative. The discomfort has been consistently mild and can be brought on with a full bladder and prolonged sitting (I just sat in a car for 18 hours over the last 2 days). The best way to describe the symptoms is what I have always referred to as blue balls though orgasm has not relieved this problem. Please advise. Thanks.

Suggest Treatment For Discomfort And Tenderness In Penis And Anal Area
Hello, The symptoms are more likely suggestive of a clinical condition called varicocele. It is nothing but abnormal dilation of veins of the scrotum. Consult a general surgeon and get a Doppler scrotum to make a diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgical correction is the treatment of choice. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
