um...unique pain when deadlifting.

I think pee-hole pain is a sign of a hernia.

You have gonorrhea.

I would not recommend dl-ing while sporting wood.

Just hope that they don't swab your urethra.

Urethritis is inflammation of the urethra. The main symptom is dysuria, which is painful or difficult urination.

Causes
In the diagnostic approach to urethritis, physicians classify the disease as non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), based on its causation. Non-gonococcal urethritis, sometimes called non-specific urethritis (NSU), has both infectious and non-infectious causes. In men, purulent discharge usually indicates a urethritis of gonococcal nature, while clear discharge indicates urethritis of non-gonococcal nature. Urethritis is difficult to diagnose in women because discharge may not be present, however, the symptoms of dysuria and frequency may be present.

Causes include:

Adenovirus
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC)
Herpes simplex
Mycoplasma genitalium
Reiter's syndrome
Trichomonas spp.
Isotretinoin therapy
Doses of isotretinoin greater than 60 milligrams/square meter induced URETHRITIS (Reuter, 1984). Urethritis was reported in 2 male patients who were being treated with isotretinoin for acne vulgaris. After discontinuation and treatment with antibiotics, urethritis resolved. (Edwards & Sonnex, 1997).

Symptoms
Discharge (milky or pus-like) from the penis, stinging or burning during urination, itching, tingling, burning or irritation inside the penis.

Diagnosis
Usually, the patient undresses and puts on a gown. With male patients, the physician examines the penis and testicles for soreness or any swelling. The urethra is visually examined by spreading the urinary meatus apart with two gloved fingers, and examining the opening for redness, discharge and other abnormalities. Next, a cotton swab is inserted 1-4 cm into the urethra and rotated once. To prevent contamination, no lubricant is applied to the swab, causing the procedure to be extremely painful. The swab is then smeared onto a glass slide and examined under a microscope. A commonly used cut-off for the diagnosis of urethritis is 5 or more polymorphonuclear leukocytes per high power field, but this definition has recently been called into doubt.

The physician sometimes performs a digital rectal exam (DRE) to inspect the prostate gland for swelling or infection.

Treatment
A variety of drugs may be prescribed based on the cause of the patient's urethritis. Some examples of medications based on causes include:

Clotrimazole (Mycelex) - Trichomonas
Fluconazole (Diflucan) - Monilial
Metronidazole (Flagyl) - Trichomonas
Nitrofurantoin - Bacterial Infection
Nystatin (Mycostatin) - Monilial
Co-trimoxazole, which is a combination of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim in a ratio of 5 to 1 (Septrin, Bactrim) - Bacterial Infection
Proper perineal hygiene should be stressed. This includes avoiding use of vaginal deodorant sprays and proper wiping after urination and bowel movements. Intercourse should be avoided until symptoms subside.

Prevent

(A) To avoid sex before without cure; prohibition, do not eat spicy food, more water. (B) make the necessary isolation in family, towels, bath, washbasin, toilet, etc. used separately, or sterilized after use. (C) tell the patient what is safe sex, what is risky sexual behaviors, how to avoid risky sexual behaviors. (D) encourage the use of condoms.

If it's only when deadlifting, my guess is it's referred pain from the spinal cord (i.e. something pressing against it causes pain in a region distant from the actual source [cf. sciatica]).

Ditto the near/above. You are stretching your back, spinal column, things are shifting... and that can trigger/release sensations.

On a related (but pleasant note) - a few talented women know how to manipulate the spine and dig in and cause a release which effects the same region with an amazing immediate impact... but it is a very, very positive experience rather than a pain.

I'm surprised how little knowledge there is about this topic, as it would seem to have many practical implications.

btw- your doctor likely won't have a clue what to do.

Give it a rest. Get a massage (from a legit source, one who knows what they are doing) and re-try your workout after awhile.

You might have some urinary tract salt lodged in your urethre. The pressure and tension during dl could be aggrovating ÃŽt. Could a pube made it's way up there. It happens.

Imo, meatus is a funny word.

Have you been spanking it too hard? That can irritate the meatus. One time a buddy of mine was helping someone load a moving van and afterward his left testy swelled up to twice its normal size and was causing him excruciating pain. * He went to the doc and it turned out the physical exertion had caused some urine to actually travel down the plumbing (vas deferens) into his nut and caused it to become inflamed. * No I did not see or feel it, this is strictly from what he recounted to me.

there's a vast difference between the dick and the balls.
