My penis meatus is red and looks swollen, and painful when scrubing in boxers.

Posted , 3 users are following.

last october 20 I masturbate frequently like for the past few days I masturbate 2 to 3 times everyday and sometime every after another when I saw another good porn. Then when I shower I put soap on my penis including meatus and after a seconds it hurt like burning for a few minutes. Then on october 26 my penis meatus started to become red and swollen and become more red and painful and sensitive when it scrub on my boxers. I really dont know what is the reason of it. My last sex was almost 6 months ago but masturbating very frequent. Is it because of over masturbating? or soap irritation? or boxer friction irritation? I tried to put cotton cloth to cover my penis everytime i wear underwear since that time and it works, the redness gone and looks like normal but still looks like theres a swollen on the meatus and very sensitive when it touch sometimes when its red, looks like the skin of my meatus comes up and become sensitive i dont know. last year I tested for the calmness of my mind and its all negative. What do you think it is? it is affecting my mental health and studies being paranoid about what Ive read on google. UPDATE. Just now the sensitiveness and swollen look and red came back but i put cotton cloth again for it to be calm. What do you thinj is the reason? im 20 yearsold

    Hey John. Your description sounds exactly like mine!! Are you circumcised or not? Ive been dealing with this since October 23. I first masturbated and felt little sore. Then used some cream 2 days later but then got this burning sensation from that which subsided the next day. But then 3 days later I started feeling burning sensation and noticed redness from area on the head that rubs against my underwear and felt like it was coming fron around the meatus area. I have tried Cortisone creams and antiobiotics but its not clearing it up. Saw a urologist today who believes its fungus. Have you tried anti fungal meds? Right now for me it hurts (burning feeling) when the tip of the head rubs against something.

    Okay, you need to get something clear: you should NEVER apply soap, or any other form of body wash to the head area of the penis, particularly in the region of the meatus.

    The problem with the Meatus is that it is very sensitive and can be severely harmed if anything gets inside of it, should this happen problems can often be very difficult to resolve.

    Yes, from what you seem to be describing you were masturbating far too frequently - so, when there is a problem present to any part of the upper-shaft, head / glans or Meatus area this will make the problem or issues that are present far worse.

    Simply, with frequent masturbation, day after day any problem issues do not have time to recover and in effect, the ONLY outcome that is likely is that problems will multiply themselves. When issues like this exist the bare minimum break you should give your penis is 1 day, much better would be 2 days, 3 days then this would mean your penis would BEGIN to recover.

    In terms of where you are now, particularly if you still have swelling to your Meatus is to take a COMPLETE break from masturbation - I would suggest a bare minimum for where you are now is 3 weeks, after this if there is little to no improvement would be to see a doctor, the specialist that can help you most is a Urologist .....

      Thanks for your reply. In my case the area around meatus hurts and also on the underside of the glans which is in that same neighborhood, especially when pressed. Been hurting for 3 weeks now. Currently on a strong steroid cream. Went to see 2 urologists and both think it's Fungus. I'm on day 3 with oral fungus meds.

      hello sir thankyou for your reply. i stop masturbating 2 days ago now and the stickiness and freshness of the meatus is slightly gone it means its now painful when i touch it so i think i really need a 2-3 weeks break. sometime im washing my penis with soap and it hurts. so now i know its sensitive so i will stop washing it with soap. and im currently now on my 2nd day break from masturbating.

      You should not apply anything to your meatus as this is most likely going to cause further problems. You need the help of a doctor who can prescribe you oral medication to treat what is causing the problem
