What Causes Burning Sensation In Penis?
Question: Hello Doctor,
I have a problem that is sometimes I gets a pain/burning sensation in my penis. I have done circumcision when I was 11 or 12 years old. Pain is like pricking with a needle or I can say like a burning sensation. I am having this problem for a year now and last year on the month of July I had done a urine culture and there was no problem found by my doctor. He told everything looks fine. But I can say after that also some days (may be twice in a week or can be more than that) I feels an irritation in penis. It will be a sharp pain sometimes and will last only for some seconds. Then it will disappear. Will this be connected with my food/drinks which I intake ? I use to have the problem with my bowel movements sometimes (gas trouble is there). Is there a connection between the digestion and urinary problems ?
Sometimes I feel if I go to toilet and apply more pressure for bowel movement and I feels this is also giving pain in penis. While passing the urine there is no pain. And whether worry/Anxiety can trigger these types of problem because this is not happening on all the days. I am working in a IT company and my job demands to sit for a prolonged time. Will this be a cause ? What do you think about this ? Expecting your reply soon.
