A member asked:

I noticed a sharp pain in the head of my penis when wiping? is this something to worry about? maybe a vein issue?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Is vein swollen? Did you injure penis from rough sex or masturbation? See a urologist if pain continues.

If one time thing and no visible problem-then no. If it recurs see your doc .
