Abstract:
Chronic penile pain (CPP) is a debilitating condition characterized by persistent penile pain, often accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual dysfunction, severely impacting quality of life. Treatment options are limited. We report a case of a 38-year-old man with severe CPP effectively treated with mirogabalin. Initially diagnosed with balanitis, his symptoms evolved to include severe penile pain and mental instability, and he was unresponsive to standard treatments. After multiple failed therapies, mirogabalin was introduced, resulting in significant pain reduction and improved mental health within days. This case highlights mirogabalin's potential efficacy in treating CPP with neuropathic characteristics, suggesting it as a viable treatment option for similar cases. Further studies are warranted to explore its broader applicability.
