I've been having this pain in my penis for a couple of months now, especially when it gets erect. Its really concerning me. Does this sound like something serious? What could be causing pain inside my penis?
An erection normally occurs in response to physical or psychological stimulation. This stimulation causes certain blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow to spongy tissues in the penis. Consequently, the blood-filled penis becomes erect.

Priapism occurs when some part of this system the blood, blood vessels or nerves changes normal blood flow, resulting in painful erections. Consult urologist for further evaluation...
