Q: Penis head infection? pain during urination

asked by: DoctorQuestion on April 7th, 2007

Hi, I am having a problem with my penis and I need some advice. I am a 26 yrs old male, just got married 2 months ago. I am a very clear person, and I take good care of my penis. Today, after having sex in the tub, just after ejaculating I felt tremendous paid in my penis. This has happen to me once or twice before.
I first thought, maybe soap water would have entered my penis so I dark 2-3 glasses of water and tried to pee. I did pee, but it was painful, my penis’s head was a little red and looked a little fat. After peeing I was using the hand shower to clean my penis, just as I reached the head, it started painting again and I spotted immediately.
I have been feeling uncomfortable for about an hour now, as though I am holding on to my urine.

Please advice….

According to the symptoms you describe (pain in the penis after ejaculation and during urination, red and swollen penis head), you could be experiencing an inflammation of the urethra (urethritis) and penis’s head (balanitis). Urethritis is usually due to infection but it can also be due to irritation or allergy. You can visit your primary health provider for an examination and proper treatment.
