Maybe nothing wrong: No clear diagnosis is possible through any online forum. Maybe there is nothing wrong at all; not all symptoms mean disease. Certainly cancer doesn't behave like this. Ask your urologist about prostatitis or the male chronic pelvic pain syndrome; either can cause pain referred to the tip of the penis. Neither is serious. Keep working with the urologist; in meantime, accept his/her reassurance.
