Patient's question:
I want to ask, why does it hurt when I ejaculate? It's like a stinging pain!Doctor's answer:
Although the origin of pain is in the prostate, the pain and discomfort can be located at or radiated to the urethra and glans. Inflammatory changes are the most common cause of abnormal or painful conditions, such as posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, and vasitis, which cause local congestion and edema. This can lead to spasmodic pain during rhythmic muscle contractions during ejaculation. Infection can also cause urethral stricture, resulting in difficulty in semen discharge and pain during ejaculation. Allergic reactions to condoms or spermicidal creams can cause allergic dermatitis and sexual intercourse pain, which can be avoided by discontinuing or switching to other contraceptive methods.
