Diagnostic tests for Penis pain:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Penis pain. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- Examine the penis and note any redness, sores or swellings
- Examine the discharge, if present look for evidence Peyronie's disease (non-tender hard patch may be felt just beneath the skin of the penis)
- If the penis is erect, determine if the head of the penis is erect (hard) also. If the head of the penis is not hard but the rest of the penis is erect, this suggests priapism
- Digital rectal examination to assess prostate size, consistency and tenderness
- Feel the lymph nodes in the groin for enlargement which may suggest penile cancer, herpes simplex, Chancroid

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Penis pain.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had the penis pain? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Where exactly on the penis do you experience the pain?
- Is the penis pain unrelated to erections or passing urine? - must consider kidney stones, appendicitis, anxiety, chancroid and herpes simplex.
- Is the penis pain mostly during erections? - must consider Peyronie's disease or priapism.
- If the penis pain is mostly during erections, are the erections associated with sexual stimulation? - If not, suggests priapism.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Penis pain) may include:
- Penis deformity? - suggests Peyronie's disease.
- Genital ulcers? - painful genital ulcers usually suggest herpes simplex virus 1 or 2. A less common cause of painful genital ulcers include chancroid (Haemophilus decreyi). Note that the primary chancre of syphilis is often painless, donovanosis (granulomona inguinale due to calymmatobacterium granulomatis) is relatively painless and lymphogranuloma venereum (due to Chlamydia trachomatis) is usually painless.
- Discharge from urethra? - would suggest urethritis.
- Redness of the foreskin? - suggests Balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin). This may be due to bacterial infection or Candida infection. People with diabetes and infants with wet nappies are particularly prone to this problem.
- Symptoms of Peyronie's disease? - e.g. pain and crooked deformity of the penis with erections; abnormal curvature of the erect penis.
