Why do some men experience penis pain after ejaculation?
Men may feel pain after ejaculation due to conditions like prostatitis or infections in the urogenital area.
Explanation
Pain after ejaculation can happen for a few reasons. One common cause is prostatitis, which is when the prostate gland is swollen/inflammed. This can make it hurt when you ejaculate. Another reason could be infections in the urogenital area. These infections can affect how you feel during and after sex.
Causes of Painful Ejaculation:
- Prostatitis: This is when the prostate is inflamed or swollen. It can cause pain during ejaculation.
- Urogenital Infections: Infections in the urinary or genital areas can also lead to pain.
- Other Conditions: There might be other reasons, but these are the main ones mentioned in the studies.
If you experience this pain, it might be a good idea to talk to a doctor. They can help figure out what is causing the pain and how to treat it.
