Hi guys.

I know this is an old thread but I fear I may have the same problem.

I noticed about 3 days ago that when I urinate i feel a slight pain
just before i begin to actually pee. It does feel as though something is
stuck in my penis (like inside the head of the penis on the left hand
side)

I had blood in my urine about 6 months ago a few times but it cleared
up and hasn't happened since, but at the time I noticed that 'kidney
stones' often popped up when researching my symptoms on the web.

Is there a way for me to break the stone up or something?

edit: In my research on kidney stones I hear alot about the pain when
it passes the bladder but I haven't experienced any pain. Would that
mean that it isnt a kidney stone or that it maybe a small one or
sometinhg else?

If the stone were so small that you had no pain when it was passing
through the ureters (the "tubes" linking the kidneys to the bladder) -
the most painful part of kidney stone passage - it is unlikely that it
would be stuck in something as wide as your urethra (the passage from
the bladder out the body).

There are many things that could be causing the pain you're describing.
If you're still having hematuria (bloody urine) as well as the pain,
it's best to consult a doctor who can examine you, take your history and
perform tests.

Anecdotally, I have passed hundreds of stones (I'm passing one now,
yay!) but I'm an "innie" so have no first-hand experience with external
urethras.

Don't forget he has a prostate (ie the prostatic urethra) to go through also

Hi Rep.

Thanks for replying.

No. I have not noticed any blood in my urine for about 6 months.

I guess you're right. If i didn't feel any pain it would be a very
small kidney stone. If it is a very small kidney stone then it wouldn't
get stuck in my urethra. Therefore it is more likely a urinary tract
infection?
