Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Penis pain: Pain in your penis is not normal. Please get in to see a trusted health care provider. I worry about balanitis, an infection of the glans penis, or other trauma. I worry about herpes which can be very painful. But, this is not something to just tolerate.
