What causes pain at the tip of the penis?
Pain at the tip of the penis can be caused by conditions like Peyronie's disease or penile induration, which involve changes in the tissue of the penis.
Explanation
Pain at the tip of the penis can be caused by various conditions. One possible cause is Peyronie's disease, which involves the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis. This can lead to pain and changes in the shape of the penis, such as curvature. Another condition that might cause pain at the tip of the penis is penile induration. This involves the hardening of tissue in the penis, which can also lead to discomfort or pain.
Possible Causes Include:
- Peyronie's Disease:
- Scar tissue forms inside the penis.
- Can cause pain and curvature.
- Penile Induration:
- Hardening of penile tissue.
- Can lead to pain and discomfort.
If you experience persistent pain, it is important to seek medical advice to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
