Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 29-year-old man. About a week ago, I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend, and now I am experiencing itchiness, pain while urinating, and a small red bump on my penis. These symptoms have been present for the past two days, and I am concerned about the seriousness of the situation and its potential impact on my sexual health. Can you please provide guidance on how to investigate this issue and find relief? Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Based on the information you provided, It seems that you may have contracted a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is crucial to get tested and receive proper treatment as soon as possible.

I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions:

  1. Schedule an appointment: Contact a healthcare provider, such as a general practitioner or a sexual health clinic, to make an appointment. Explain your symptoms and any concerns you have. They will be able to assess your situation and provide appropriate guidance.
  2. Sexual health check-up: During your appointment, the healthcare provider may conduct tests for various STIs, including a urine test or a swab of the affected area. These tests will help identify any potential infections.
  3. Abstain from sexual activity: While awaiting the test results and receiving treatment, avoid any sexual activity to prevent potentially spreading the infection to your partner.
  4. Practice good hygiene: Ensure you keep the affected area clean and dry. Avoid using any soaps or products that may irritate the sensitive skin.
  5. Open communication with your partner: Inform your girlfriend about your symptoms and urge her to get tested as well. It is essential for both partners to receive appropriate medical care if an STI is detected.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
