Men are naturally reserved, which directly leads to them often keeping many things to themselves, especially matters related to private organs, making it difficult to speak about them. Consequently, if there are any health issues, it can lead to delays in treatment. Many men experience a sensation of swelling and pain in their private areas. Let's explore the potential causes of this discomfort.
What are the causes of swelling and pain in the male genital area?
1、Excessive sexual activity
Although it's said that people nowadays live for the moment, one should not be driven by sexual desires to engage in frequent sexual activity, as it can be detrimental to health. Swelling and pain in the male genitalia may be related to this. If sexual activity is too frequent, the penis can become overworked and experience a type of fatigued pain, primarily a swelling sensation. Over time, this can lead to physical depletion, so it's important to maintain a regular and harmonious sexual life.
3、Overly vigorous sexual activity
If sexual activity is too vigorous, it can easily cause injury to the male genitalia during intercourse, a common issue many men face. After sex, the penis may inexplicably hurt for a long time, often due to improper sexual positions. If mild, it can recover on its own, but if severe, it's necessary to seek medical examination and treatment.
4、Prostatitis
Prostatitis is a very common male reproductive system disease, and in recent years, more and more men are suffering from it. Engaging in sexual activity with prostatitis can cause pain in the penis. When the prostate is inflamed, bacteria can spread to the reproductive organs, causing infection and inflammation in the penis, leading to pain during intercourse. In such cases, it's best to seek medical treatment early to avoid worsening the condition and serious consequences.
5、Phimosis
Phimosis can also cause pain in the male genitalia. Many people do not take phimosis seriously, but it can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma under the foreskin, which is a breeding ground for bacteria. Bacterial growth can cause inflammation, naturally leading to pain in the penis. Additionally, if phimosis leads to paraphimosis, the pain can be very severe, and in extreme cases, it can even cause the penis to lose function. Therefore, it's important to address phimosis or paraphimosis promptly.
The above are four causes of swelling and pain in the male genital area. It is hoped that men can make a preliminary self-assessment based on symptoms and manifestations, and it is best to seek medical examination and treatment, as this is a responsible approach to one's health.
