What is the treatment for penile itching and pain?

Question

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.

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.
