Answered by Dr. Sudarshan (4 hours later)

Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

Since when u have pain in penis?
How long you have taken antifilarial drugs?
When you had been diagnosed with filariasis ?
Do u have any scrotal lesion /lymphedema of the feet?
Do u have any erectile problems?
After treatment of filariasis calcification may remain in affected organs .It is visible on X rays and may cause pain.

Besides this other causes of pain in penis are trauma(while intercourse or otherwise),harmonal problems,diabetes.

A visit to urologist will help in diagnosis and treatment of the same.
X XXXXXXX USG Urine microscopy will be helpful.
treatment depends on cause.

For the time being you can take analgesics like combiflam.

Please answer above questions.

I will be available for follow up.

Take care.

Dr. XXXXXXX gi,

Thanks for your immediate response. I am hereunder giving question wise answers for the above .(my age 57 )

1) Since when u have pain in penis?
since 6 months

2) How long you have taken antifilarial drugs?
for 40 days

3)When you had been diagnosed with filariasis ?

i do not know that i have filariasis. (40 days.) I have gone for pain in penis to the uralagist. In his prescription he has added antifilarial drug also besides antibiotics and antidepressive capsules.

Besides he has given sos md tabs for immediate pain relief. After 10 days of taking antifilarial drug and other medicnes a little bit relief is there. Doctor has mainly continued antifilarial drugs for further thirty days.(total 40 days) Earlier it was paining even when touching the penis at the time of urinals. But after 40 days of medication considerable pain reduction is there. presently doctor asked me to stop the medication and prescribed sildenafil citrate tablets as since 2 years i have erectile problem. Very rarely i was using sildenafil due to fear of side effects. But now doctor advised not to discontinue the intercourse, at least once a week due to fear of pain. Now with sildenfil citrate the intercourse is giving bearable pain.

4) Do u have any scrotal lesion /lymphedema of the feet?

no

5) Do u have any erectile problems?

yes

i use more medicnes as prescribed by my doctors for bp,sugar, mdi (bipolar), copd etc.

kindly advise me further. What precautions i have to take for this may please be suggested.

with kind regards.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for detailed Answers to the questions.
I see you have been taking a lot of drugs.
Some of the medications itself may cause penile pain and difficulty in erection.
Beta blocker ,antihypertensive medications, anti diabetic medication, long standing diabetes ,COPD drugs may cause penile pain n erectile dysfunction.

Meanwhile you must continue filarial medications.
Dont use lot of viagra . It may cause lot of side effects when taken with other medications.

Concentrate on your general health.
Maintain a good diet ,exercise.
Continue your BIPOLAR medications.
You can use analgesic medication like tramadol for penile pain.

Visit a good psychiatrist for erectile dysfunction .
He will teach you exercises for successful intercourse.

Take care.
