Bad anxiety causing penis pain due to pelvic tension

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been having really bad anxiety and panic attacks these past few weeks and I tend to clench my pelvic floor when I get anxious according to my doctors. I have been noticing some pain in my penis during this time, sometimes a burning sensation and sometimes an ache. Is this a symptom anyone has experienced for dealt with? I feel that maybe I am clenching so hard that it is affecting my nerves or something like that. It generally goes away if I take a Benzo so I feel it is probably anxiety and not a physical injury. Maybe it is the tension irritating the nerves in the area?

    Any problems with your penis when this happens? Is it becoming sore? Is it appearing shorter/narrower or cramped up?
