A member asked:

Sometimes when i am standing and push like i'm having a bowel movement i get a sharp pain in between my scrotum and anus. what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't sound: Like anything serious if it is intermittent. But speak with your doctor to make sure, especially if it persists. It could be prostate infection.
