What causes pain near the penis head during masturbation?

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I can understand your concern.

Pain during or after masturbation is not uncommon and can have various causes. It is important to pay attention to your body and any discomfort you may be experiencing. Here are a few possible reasons for the pain you are feeling near the head of your penis:

1. Friction: Increased friction during masturbation, especially if done vigorously or without sufficient lubrication, can cause temporary pain or discomfort near the head of the penis. This type of pain typically goes away once the stimulation stops.
2. Skin irritation: Sometimes, the skin of the penis can become irritated due to rough handling, tight grip, or use of harsh soaps or lotions. This can result in pain or discomfort that subsides after masturbation stops.
3. Penile injury: In some cases, pain during masturbation may be a sign of a minor injury, such as a small tear in the skin or inflammation of the penile tissues. These injuries can cause pain or discomfort that resolves with time.
4. Inflammation or infection: Inflammation of the penile tissues or an underlying infection can also cause pain or discomfort during or after masturbation. Infections such as balanitis (inflammation of the head and foreskin of the penis) or urinary tract infections can present with symptoms such as pain, redness, and swelling.

If the pain persists or becomes more severe, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying medical issues. They can perform a physical examination, review your symptoms, and provide appropriate treatment, if necessary. It is always best to take a cautious approach and seek medical advice if you have concerns about pain or discomfort during masturbation.
