Painful ejaculation is a painful, burning sensation during or after ejaculation causing pain in the perineum (area between the anus and the genitals) and the urethra (tube running from bladder to end of penis). The condition can be very uncomfortable, cause discomfort in the testicles, and interfere with feelings of sexual pleasure. It can be caused by inflammation or infection which may need treatment with antibiotics.

Penis cancer is uncommon, and the chance of developing it is about one in 1000. There are a variety of different things that can cause penis lumps, and most are harmless. Most penis cancers develop from skin cells in the penis, usually in the foreskin, although they can happen elsewhere in the penis. Most of these cancers grow very slowly and can be cured if found early.

My name is Bruce. I was a public servant for 27 years. When I was in my late forties, I set up a gardening business in a bid to marry my interest in golf with horticulture.

Soon I’ll be celebrating 50 years of marriage.
