Hey, Im 22, male, and not very active. I noticed a sharp pain in my rectum and along the inside of my penis when I was bending over to pick something (light) up. And again in my penis when going poop. I was tested for stds a few months back and have since only been with my girlfriend (who I know is faithful). The pain isnt crippling, but enough to warrent worry. Any ideas? Or to vague to know?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. These symptoms indicate in most cases prostate issues such as prostatitis or hypertrophy, and rarely it may be signed of STD infection. You should avoid intercourse for till symptoms persist and Chat Doctor.  If symptoms persist it would be good to do prostate ultrasound and check your PSA levels to rule out prostate tumor or hypertrophy and further treatment depends on these findings. In most cases it can be controlled with medications but sometimes, in case of tumor, open surgery is required. And severe benign hypertrophy may be managed endoscopically, so you should consult urologist about appropriate options. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
