What is the treatment for penile itching and pain?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
For the past three days, I am experiencing itchiness within (inside) the head of my penis. There is mild pain while touching the head and it becomes bad post masturbation and urination. No boils were found under the skin but it seemed to be red.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Your complaints are more in favor of urethritis or balanitis. This could be a consequence of multiple factors ranging from infections to even renal stones. Kindly mention if there is any pain when passing urine. Is there any pus discharge from the urethra? Is there any burning when passing urine? Also, mention have you been masturbating excessively off late? Do you have had any recent change of partner? Does your partner also have similar complaints? Kindly upload appropriate images if there are any lesions.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I have no pain while urinating, and no pus. I have a mild burning sensation post-urination. I do not do excess masturbation. Yes, I had a change in partner with unprotected sex multiple times, but the issue occurred post a week after having the last unprotected sex. No similar complaints from my partner and no noticeable lesions. I have only itchiness inside the tip of the penis, and a burning sensation. Both the symptoms increase post-urination and masturbation. Slight pain feeling while touching the right side of the tip of the penis, and I feel relaxed while rubbing the tip of the penis from outside.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
The symptoms are more in favor of urethritis. Unprotected sex is always a risk factor for such issues. Herpes, gonococcal, and chlamydia are all causative agents.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and take care.
Regards.
