“…The mean cystometric bladder capacity was 417 ± 182 ml. Complex regional pain has been diagnosed in the penis one year following transurethral prostatectomy [189]. Pelvic and perineal pain is also seen in CRPS patients particularly if both lower extremities are affected [114,190].…”

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a neuropathic pain disorder that is characterized by: 1) Severe pain beyond the area of injury; 2) Autonomic dysregulation; 3) Neuropathic edema; 4) A movement disorder, atrophy and dystrophy. It is most often caused by a fracture, soft-tissue injury or surgical procedure and is divided into Type I, in which no nerve lesion is identified (classic reflex sympathetic dystrophy), and Type II where a specific nerve has been damaged (causalgia). In addition to the peripheral manifestations, there are many internal medical complications whose etiology is often not appreciated. This article will examine how CRPS affects the systems of: cognition; constitutional, cardiac, and respiratory complications; systemic autonomic dysregulation; neurogenic edema; musculoskeletal, endocrine and dermatological manifestations; as well as urological and gastrointestinal function

“…Penile pain is associated with testicular torsion, blunt/straddle injury (penile trauma or penile fracture), penetrating injury, and the relatively under-diagnosed conditions of male genital pain syndrome, 5 reflex sympathetic dystrophy, 6 and painful male urethral syndrome. 7 Patients with direct inguinal hernia, 8 pudendal neuralgia, 9,10 and pain disorder associated with psychological factors 11,12 may also experience penile pain.…”

Physicians should first think of the most probable etiologies of penile pain, such as sexually transmitted diseases or trauma. It is important, however, to then consider a broad range of differential diagnoses in each patient with genital pain. LOCALIZED AND REFERRED PAIN Independent penile pain is a rare complaint 1 and may be secondary to a local disease or a result of referred pain. The inferior hypogastric plexus (T10-L1 (sympathetic) and S2-S6 (parasympathetic) nerves) is thought to be the neural integrative system in the pelvis that innervates the urinary bladder, proximal and distal urethra, rectum, and reproductive and genital structures. 2 The neural supply of the penis is derived from the cavernosal and pudendal nerves (S2-S4). 3 When the sensory nerves that innervate organs of similar embryonic origin are stimulated by a pathologic process, 4 pain can be mislocalized to any area innervated by the spinal segment that also innervates the damaged viscera.
