What is painful erection of the penis

Patient's question:

Why did my boyfriend suddenly feel pain when we were in the room together one time? We couldn't even continue.

Doctor's answer:

Painful erection of the penis refers to pain during penile erection, which is often caused by a short preputial frenulum and a narrow preputial orifice when the prepuce is redundant. The preputial frenulum is the skin that connects the prepuce to the glans, located below the glans and near the urethral meatus. When the penis is erect, if the preputial frenulum is too short, it can pull the glans, causing the penis to bend and resulting in pain if the pulling is excessive.
