What causes recurring pain in penis?
Patient: My penis has hurt on and off for several years. I have been screened for STD and have only had sex once in the last 8 years *sep. 2009*  the pain goes away, then comes back and can stay for a few days at a time. it is not quite the head of my penis, but more along the underside of the shaft, and I have had some discomfort in the right side of my groin but have had hernia repair there before. I am wondering if chronic back pain could be causing the symptoms? Doctor: Hi,  Since you had surgery done it can be due to neuropathic. Yes, it can be due to spinal nerve compression. Doing blood sugar can help you.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
