What is wrong if penis is painful and urination is difficult after injury?
human
My son was at a wrestling match yesterday and got hit in the penis.  We saw him holding it during the rest of his matches but said he was fine.  Today he is complaining of pain and keeps trying to pee but barely any urine comes out.  He also said he has pain in his shaft but no bruising or swelling.  Shaft is a little red but he is also grabbing if a lot.  Any idea what could be wrong?Thank you,Courtney

Hi and thank you so much for this query.I am so sorry to hear about this problem your son has. Most likely, there has been inflammation of the penis that has obstructed the opening of the urethra. This has certainly caused obstruction that prevents him fro being able to urinate freely. The urethra is a very sensitive organ that needs t be addressed properly. I will like that you seek for medical consultation. Also, if he had just any blood drop out of his urethra, then it constitutes an emergency. For now, he can take pain medications to help relieve the pain and swelling. This may help but also, he need to get fully evaluated and treated.I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish your son the best of health.Dr. Ditah, MD.
