Bump on meatus.

Posted , 83 users are following.

Hello guys, I've had this swelling on the side of my meatus for about a half and a half now and have no idea what it is. I had a full spectrum STD screening except for herpes and it can back neagtive. I also did a seperate urine and blood test and they also came back negative. I got treated for a yeast infection, but that hasn't seemed to do anything. I'm really worried and would like some feedback, Thanks.

On a side note I've had other issues, such as erection issues, anal discomfort and lack of sex drive. Could any of this be related.

Heres a picture.

      thank you for the information. I have long suspected that I was dealing with something viral because I was having issues with mucous membranes. specifically, my lips, urethra, mouth, and rectal area. in my opinion, I’m dealing with HPV.

      What are your symptoms? Can you get tested for HPV?

    Hi, I have had a very similar issue.

    Think it might be HSV... Been to 8 doctors and no one has an answer for me.

    You can check my reddit post under "Tokyoen" user name.

    Have the same issue looks exactly like mine, got this after receiving oral sex on my penis.

    haven't found what might be the reason I got tested for stds and sti except for herpes but all were negative, I got e coli at the same time so maybe uti, herpes, or just anxiety.

    honestly this might just be from anxiety as most symptoms I felt were unrelated also since I think there is something wrong I keep touching it which might be causing the irritation in the first place and when you are anxious you will relate everything that you feel even though they were happening even before.
