I've been getting this weird tingling and shooting pain in my penis, especially after a long erection, but sometimes even without one. Could this be connected to bloating somehow? It's really concerning me.

Bloating typically doesn't directly cause nerve pain in the penis, but pressure from abdominal bloating might irritate nearby nerves, potentially leading to discomfort. Shooting pain in the penis after prolonged erection or randomly could be due to nerve sensitivity, strain, or other underlying issues like pelvic floor tension. If it persists, consult a doctor.
