Penis Disorders
Problems with the penis can cause pain and affect a man’s sexual function and fertility. Penis disorders include:
- Erectile dysfunction — inability to get or keep an erection.
- Priapism — a painful erection that does not go away
- Peyronie’s disease — bending of the penis during an erection due to a hard lump called a plaque
- Balanitis — inflammation of the skin covering the head of the penis, most often in men and boys who have not been circumcised
- Penile cancer — a rare form of cancer, highly curable when caught early
See your GP right away if you are concerned you may have one of these disorders.
