I'm feeling these strange, faint vibrations in my penis, sort of like the sensation when a phone vibrates, and it's been going on for about three days now. I'm not sure what's causing it and I'm getting a bit concerned. What could be causing this and how do I make it stop?

A healthcare provider may perform a physical exam, ask about your medical history, and potentially order tests like an ultrasound, MRI, or nerve conduction studies to determine the cause. If you're feeling concerned, dont hesitate to get checked out for peace of mind
