Hi, I recently made crunches at the gym. After having made my first crunch, I felt a pain just below my belly (not genitals) - a discomfort that would fade away by next morning. However, 3 days later I went to a party where I ended up lifting a heavy person - then I felt a discomfort again. This time it has not faded away. I feel it at the base of the penis and it irradiates around the area (Apparently not the testicles - they don t hurt when I touch them). It hurts near the penis, especially if I pull the penis away to locate the area where it hurts.
