Post-orgasmic illness syndrome
POIS is a condition that causes a variety of symptoms, including a sore penis, fatigue, headache, and joint pain, after orgasm. Research has shown that post-orgasmic illness syndrome can cause penile soreness alongside fatigue, headaches, and flu-like symptoms after orgasm. POIS is said to affect about 1% of men, with symptoms lasting hours to days, and treatments can help manage it. The symptoms of POIS typically begin within a few minutes to a few hours after orgasm. In addition to a sore penis, people with POIS may also experience fatigue, headache, cognitive problems, flu-like symptoms, and difficulty breathing. POIS can last for hours or even days after orgasm. The symptoms of POIS can be debilitating, and they can have a negative impact on a person’s quality of life. The exact cause of POIS is not known, but it is thought to be related to an imbalance of certain chemicals in the body. If you’re experiencing POIS, there are treatments available that can help.

Phimosis
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. According to a Cleveland clinic article, phimosis can cause pain during and after sex due to friction of the foreskin against the head of the penis. Phimosis can be treated with a variety of methods, including stretching exercises, steroid creams, or, in severe cases, surgery. Treatment for phimosis can often improve sexual function and reduce pain after sex.
Mondor’s disease
Mondor’s disease can cause a sore penis after sex. It is a condition that causes inflammation of the superficial veins of the penis. Research has shown that this inflammation can cause pain and swelling in the penis, as well as a sore penis. The pain can last for a few days after sex. Mondor’s disease is rare, and it’s not well understood. Treatment usually involves rest, ice, and pain medication. The condition often resolves on its own without any treatment.
