Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 23-year-old male who weighs 176 pounds and is 70 inches tall. I had oral sex with my girlfriend recently, and during masturbation, a bit of blood started coming out of my penis. I cleaned it up and checked inside the foreskin and saw a bruise on the left side of the tiny little vein or vessel that goes around the penis. That is where the blood was coming out from. I do not feel any pain right now. The same issue had happened 18 months ago, and I had no discomfort or problem in sexual activity. My urine is fine, and there is no blood. A small area at the tip of the penis and surrounding area is purple. I did not feel the pain except when I decided to engage in sexual activity or masturbate. I am taking Prednisone and Azathioprine. I am worried about what I should do. Should I wait for it to heal?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This minor injury should heal, but you need to avoid sexual contact or masturbation for two weeks. You can apply Fucidin (Fusidic acid) cream to avoid infection during healing. The cream will be available in any pharmacy. Apply it twice a day after cleaning the area. Nothing much, and it is not dangerous at all. Just make sure it is the only cause of bleeding. I mean, nothing else comes from inside.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
