Redness on penile head and around meatus for months.
Posted , 12 users are following.
Back in November, had vaginal sex with gir, unprotected, for about 10 minutes, also had oral sex for maybe 5, both her and myself. Didn’t was penis off or clean off for about 15 hours.
Started to notice redness a few days later, had previous symptoms similar to when I had urethritis so figured that’s what it was. Saw urologist couple weeks later he gave me Azithromycin and doxycycline. Still had minor discomfort after. Got tested twice, full panel a few weeks later, weeks in between each one.
Both came back negative, nothing in urinalysis or blood work.
Saw doctor once a month to get regularly prescribed medicine, told
Him every time about mild discomfort, no real pain. Just redness on top of Penile head and around meatus. Would get extremely red after shower, or masturbation. Switched body soaps, detergents etc.
Saw urologist, he looked at it, gave me nystatin powder, didnt help. Put cream on it, didn’t help.
Couple weeks later, Saw my GP he gave me azithromyacin and keflex, didn’t do anything.
Just have redness around penile head and meatus still. More inflamed and irritated. Just frustrated and want to know what it is.

Hi. .. this has happened to me again. happened a few times before now. first happened 8 years ago... had multiple sti tests and nothing. freaked me out. happened again 2 years ago... so that time did not freak. took a strong dose of azithromycin and a week course of metronidazole. sorted it. think I'll do the same this time. that way I'm covered for most bacterial possible causes (happened from oral without condom followed by sex with condom). don't panic. could be a mild strep infection, which is rare, but happens. could be hpv... but that's viral so stressing won't help immune response. definitely a little more odorous than usual... no urethritis... but does sting after masterbation. all as previous. think I'm sensitive to something in the microbial world. when it happened 8 years ago I pursued all sorts of avenues... doctors had no clue. it was red meatis... does hurt to pee per se just a bit stingy

Hey Mike, Are you still having the same issue? I'm experiencing the same symptoms. All tests have come back negative, its been 2 months. Other pages are suggesting it could be a form of HVP that is undiscovered in the medical field.
