What’s With Penis Pain When Urinating?

Except in cases where people are engaging in specific dominant-submissive

behavior, penis pain is rarely on the list of things a guy is likely to enjoy.
The penis pain itself can be unwanted, but even more annoying can be
worries over what can be causing the pain. Frequently, a guy may experience
pain specifically while urinating, and this especially can raise concerns that
there is a penis health issue that needs to be investigated. But what are some
of the reasons that a man might experience penis pain while urinating?

Possibilities
Penis pain while urinating can be caused by several things.

 Sexually transmitted infection. How many men have had a painful

urination experience and panicked, thinking, “Please, please don’t let
me have caught a sexually transmitted infection?” This is not at all the
most common cause, but for sexually active single men, at least, it is
often “top of mind.” Even those who consistently use condoms during
sex may worry that in this rare instance the protection failed. In fact,
painful urination is a common symptom for a number of sexually
transmitted infections (STIs), including gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Since these can be serious conditions not just for the man but for his
possibly infected partners, seeing a doctor to find out if an STI is
responsible is crucial.

 Urinary tract infection. However, a more likely reason is that the

guy has contracted a urinary tract infection (UTI) instead. Although it
is popularly believed that only women get UTIs, this is not true. While
women do indeed come down with them more often, it is very
possible for a man to catch one as well. With a UTI, bacteria have
managed to get into the urethra and have settled in for a little stay,
causing an infection. This is often accompanied by redness and
swelling, but not always. Men with a UTI may find themselves
needing to urinate more often than usual; they may also notice that
their urine is cloudy or even a bit bloody. In addition to the penis pain,
sometimes there is pain in the lower stomach or back. Treatment
involves antibiotics (so see a doctor) as well as increasing intake of

it helps flush the bacteria out more quickly.)

 Kidney stone. Intense penis pain may in some cases mean that a
kidney stone has entered the urethra. These are mineral and salt
deposits that form a “stone” somewhere along the way between the
kidneys and the urethra. Passing the stone through urination is painful,
especially when the stone is large.

 Bladder cancer. The worst-case scenario for penis pain while

urinating is the possibility of bladder cancer. Symptoms – painful
urination, blood in urine, back pain, et cetera – are common with other
sources of penis pain, so if those are ruled out, then the doctor should
definitely test for cancer.

 Dehydration. Sometimes simple dehydration is responsible for penis

pain while urinating. During dehydration, urine can become
concentrated, and this “thicker” version can cause some pain while
being deposited out of the body.

If a man has continuing penis pain while urinating, or if it is intense, he

should consult with his doctor.

Often penis pain while urinating will make the penis feel generally sore, so it
pays to regularly use a top-notch penis health oil (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for
skin). Tender penis skin, especially if it is dehydrated, will respond
positively to an oil that contains a combination of a high-end emollient (such
as shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). It also helps to
select an oil that contains a potent antioxidant, such as alpha lipoic acid,
which can fight the free radicals that damage the penis through oxidative
stress.
