Odynorgasmia, or painful ejaculation, also referred to as dysejaculation, dysorgasmia, and orgasmalgia,[1] is a physical syndrome described by pain or burning sensation of the urethra or perineum during or following ejaculation. Causes include: infections associated with urethritis, prostatitis, epididymitis; use of anti-depressants; cancer of the prostate or of other related structures; calculi or cysts obstructing related structures; trauma to the region.[1][2][3]

Signs and symptoms[edit]

Ejaculations that hurt can range in intensity from mild discomfort to unbearable agony. Everywhere in the pudendal territory, including the penis, scrotum, and perineal/perianal area, is susceptible to it.[1] Usually starting right before or during ejaculation, the pain usually lasts for two to twenty-four hours.[4][5] The person may have less sexual desire and self-worth as a result of this issue, which could lead to a lower quality of life.[6]

Causes[edit]

Ejaculation pain can be caused by a variety of medical conditions, but it can also be an idiopathic issue.[1] Early reports suggested that painful ejaculation may be associated with herniorrhaphy,[7][8][9][10] pelvic radiation,[11] prostate surgery,[12][13] benign prostatic hyperplasia,[14][15][16] prostate cancer,[17][18] inflammation of prostate,[19][20] antidepressants,[21][22] sexually transmitted diseases,[23][24] sexual neurasthenia, and calculi in the seminal vesicles.[1] Somehow in simple terms painful ejaculation may refer to the results of arousing often (Releasing sperms 3 times or more)

Treatment[edit]

The cause of post-orgasmic pain determines the course of treatment. Antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed if infectious or inflammatory processes are thought to be the cause.[25] Transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy is the preferred method for treating pain associated with seminal vesicles.[26] Balloon dilatation or transurethral ejaculatory duct resection are two treatments for ejaculatory duct obstruction.[27] In one study, tamsulosin-treated patients' symptoms significantly improved after four weeks of treatment.[5] This is also helpful for painful ejaculation following radical prostatectomy.[5]
