Pain and Pleasure: 8 Reasons It Hurts When You Ejaculate

hurts when i ejaculate

The last thing you need in your ultimate moment of passion is inexplicable pain. Yet, statistics show that as many as 1 in 10 men have experienced this problem. The numbers could be even higher because painful ejaculation often goes unreported. Fortunately, the underlying cause of the pain is usually treatable or manageable so you don’t have to be in pain for long. 

8 Conditions That Can Cause Painful Ejaculation

1. Prostatitis

This condition is inflammation of the prostate gland. It can be caused by a bacterial infection or another issue. Depending on the cause, you may experience acute or short-term pain or chronic pain that lasts for more than six weeks.

Prostatitis can usually be resolved with medication. Some of the other symptoms include frequent urination, erectile dysfunction, and pain in the pelvic area. 

2. Cystitis

Cystitis refers to an infection in the bladder and leaving it untreated can lead to complications like kidney disease. A few of the other symptoms of cystitis include cloudy urine, pain in the lower abdomen, the frequent urge to urinate, and blood in the urine.

3. A Blockage

Though it’s not common, the ejaculatory duct can be blocked by small stones, inflammation, or scarring. When this happens, your ejaculation won’t be able to leave and pain is the result. This can usually be corrected through surgery. Other symptoms are blood in the semen, pain in the scrotum, and seeing less ejaculation than usual. 

4. Nerve Damage

If the nerves in your pelvis have been damaged, you might experience pelvic and rectal pain. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and injury can cause nerve damage so it will be important to address them. Other symptoms of nerve damage are tingling in the affected area or numbness.

5. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Certain STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis can cause painful ejaculation. Since these infections won’t go away on their own, you’ll need to see a doctor quickly.

Some symptoms you might experience with these STDs are sores or blisters in the groin area, milky or green discharge, painful urination, and frequent urination.
