    Have you seen a Urologist about this? Obviously, something is causing the inflammation ......

    Is there any pain when urinating? What's your sexual history? Which gender do you have sexual relations with? Do you stick anything in your urethra? Does your partner have an IUD? What's your sexual partners history consist of? How old are you what's your health look like?

    Does your foreskin cover your entire penile head or does the tip stick out a bit or have you been recently circumcised? Short foreskin or circumcision coukd cause this as sometimes your body does not have the ability to adapt to the harsh environment and as a result an inflammatory response happens. I'd like to help you but I need some more information

      yes. no common reason. only treatment was getting the inflamed tissue removed surgically!

    hey! And how are you doing with the removed tissue of your meatus?

    No pain anymore?

    just so you all know, i have researched this over a few threads, as it is one of my many symptoms (the red lips /swollen meatus)

    I noted a few things - at least 4 people it was NOT from sex (and 2 were virgins) . One had it came from catching his penis on a pillow so trauma there .

    1 it was from sugars/diabetes

    1 it was prostate related

    1 was pretty sure was herpes

    1 was STD

    1 was rough sex

    so on this particular issue, how can it be STI if 2 virgins had it . inflammation response sure, but as this shows,many many causes
