A member asked:
The base of my penis is swollen and sore, and it feels as if i cannot urinate. i have to force myself. what could be the problem?

Not normal: Forcing to urinate is not normal at your age. Especially when you tell me that the base of the penis is swollen as well. Forcing to urinate means there is an obstruction in the urinary passage, especially if you had it for a while. You must see a urologist and get it checked out, it is important.
