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
