What Causes Pain In The Penis During Intercourse?

Dear sir, My name is Raphael,am turning 27 in January.I never had sex in my life till this year.My first encounter was great and I was firm and managed to have sex for quite a long period.I noticed however some pain on the shaft of my penis while having sex.It did not affect my firmness though it was painful.The pain occurred at a place where the penis is curved and had something like a harder tissue on it.I had also a problem in my testicles as one was atrophic and I felt pain while running or doing vigorous exercises.I saw a surgeon who recommended a surgery as the atrophic testicle could become cancerous according to him.I agreed to do it and the pain while having exercises has since left.A major problem however is that am not able to hold an erection for long.I have tried to have sex encounters thrice in a span of 8 months but I failed to penetrate as getting a firm erection is hard.I still feel pain at the dent of the penis.I noticed that I also have premature ejaculation once I tried to penetrate.Afer the ejaculation,the firmness becomes distorted.Attempts of getting the penis hard to enable penetration have failed.The doctor gave me Candid- B cream to apply but I have not really improved after a period of a month.KIndly assist as I see this could be problematic as I would consider marrying in future

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.


I feel you have problem of premature ejaculation plus erectile dysfunction. You need to consult a physician.

The best way to prevent erectile dysfunction is to make healthy lifestyle choices and to manage any existing health conditions. For example:

1. Work with your doctor to manage diabetes, heart disease or other chronic health conditions if you have. I guess you do not have any, so nothing to worry.
2. See your doctor for regular checkups and medical screening tests.
3. Stop smoking, limit or avoid alcohol, and don't use illegal drugs.
4. Exercise regularly, 30 mins per day atleast.
5. Take steps to reduce stress.
6. Get help for anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns.

The first thing your doctor will do is to make sure you're getting the right treatment for any health conditions that could be causing or worsening your erectile dysfunction.

Depending on the cause and severity of your erectile dysfunction and any underlying health conditions, you might have various treatment options. Your doctor can explain the risks and benefits of each treatment and will consider your preferences. Your partner's preferences also might play a role in your treatment choices.

Oral medications are a successful erectile dysfunction treatment for many men. They include:

i. Sildenafil (Viagra)
ii. Tadalafil (Adcirca, Cialis)
iii. Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn)
iv. Avanafil (Stendra)

The doctor will explain to you the benefits and side effects of each and help you to make a decision.

If your erectile dysfunction is caused by stress, anxiety or depression — or the condition is creating stress and relationship tension — your doctor might suggest that you, or you and your partner, visit a psychologist or counselor.

Same is the case with premature ejaculation.

Common treatment options for premature ejaculation include behavioral techniques, topical anesthetics, medications and counseling. Keep in mind that it might take time to find the treatment or combination of treatments that will work for you. Behavioral treatment plus drug therapy might be the most effective course.

Behavioral techniques:
In some cases, therapy for premature ejaculation might involve taking simple steps, such as masturbating an hour or two before intercourse so that you're able to delay ejaculation during sex. Your doctor also might recommend avoiding intercourse for a period of time and focusing on other types of sexual play so that pressure is removed from your sexual encounters.

The pause-squeeze technique:

Your doctor might instruct you and your partner in the use of a method called the pause-squeeze technique. This method works as follows:

i. Begin sexual activity as usual, including stimulation of the penis, until you feel almost ready to ejaculate.
ii. Have your partner squeeze the end of your penis, at the point where the head (glans) joins the shaft, and maintain the squeeze for several seconds, until the urge to ejaculate passes.
iii. Have your partner repeat the squeeze process as necessary.

By repeating as many times as necessary, you can reach the point of entering your partner without ejaculating. After some practice sessions, the feeling of knowing how to delay ejaculation might become a habit that no longer requires the pause-squeeze technique.

If the pause-squeeze technique causes pain or discomfort, another technique is to stop sexual stimulation just prior to ejaculation, wait until the level of arousal has diminished and then start again. This approach is known as the stop-start technique.

Condoms:

Condoms might decrease penis sensitivity, which can help delay ejaculation. "Climax control" condoms are available over the counter. These condoms contain numbing agents such as benzocaine or lidocaine or are made of thicker latex to delay ejaculation. Examples include Trojan Extended, Durex Performax Intense and Lifestyles Everlast Intense.

Medications:

Topical anesthetics:

Anesthetic creams and sprays that contain a numbing agent, such as benzocaine, lidocaine or prilocaine, are sometimes used to treat premature ejaculation. These products are applied to the penis 10 to 15 minutes before sex to reduce sensation and help delay ejaculation.
