Painful Ejaculation: a challenging and devastating condition for some men

Emobileclinic Trending Topic: Painful Ejaculation

Painful ejaculation is one of the most challenging, difficult, and destabilizing conditions any man could face. Painful ejaculation can have a significant impact on a man’s quality of life, negatively impacting self-esteem and reducing desire for sexual intercourse. It is highly important to seek medical attention to correct this anomaly.

During ejaculation, the muscles suddenly contract and send semen from the testicles to the urethra, where it is eliminated from the body through the opening of the penis. Any condition that causes inflammation or an infection of the structures that contribute to ejaculation or in the surrounding area may result in painful ejaculation. The discomfort usually presents itself as penile pain, a perineal ache, or pain in the testicular or glans areas.

The incidence of painful ejaculation is more common among men older than 50, and certain estimates put the figure of men experiencing this condition as high as 6 percent of the population.

Causes of Painful Ejaculation: these are as follows:

Orchitis: it is the inflammation of one or both of the testicles. The condition usually occurs as a result of inflammation of the epididymitis, a tube that connect each testicle to another structure called the vas deferens. Epididymitis also commonly occurs as a result of a bacterial or viral infection. 

Prostatitis: it is a disease of the prostate gland, characterized by pain and various urinary symptoms. There are different types of prostatitis: bacterial, chronic, and asymptomatic. Bacterial prostatitis occurs as a result of bacteria that travel into the prostate from the urethra.

Chronic prostatitis and asymptomatic prostatitis have no known cause. Bacterial prostatitis can usually be effectively treated with oral antibiotics. In severe cases, intravenous antibiotics may be necessary. 

Prostate cancer: is difficulty urinating, interrupted urine flow, difficulty emptying the bladder, pain during urination, blood in the urine and semen, pain in the back and pelvis, and painful ejaculation. 

Urethritis: is a painful inflammation of the urethra, usually caused by bacteria or virus infections. The bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections and some sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause urethritis. The herpes simplex virus is another cause.
