Could Inflammed Skin Around Foreskin, Stinging While Urinating, Discolored Semen With Weak Erection Suggest Prostate Problem?
Hi, I am a 14 year old male and I have been suffering from some pain the penis recently. My symptoms include inflamed skin around the foreskin, a stinging sensation when urinating as well as pain to the touch and discolored semen. I also have been having weak erections. These symptoms have been occurring on and off for some time now. I masterbate once a day and was wondering whether this was the cause (as it feels a lot more sever post masterbation) , or whether it was some sort of infection (as some of the symptoms match up to a Prostate problem). I am very confused, embarrassed and worried. A response would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hello
I really appreciate your concern
Of course you need to be concerned but you need not to worry much about this
Looking at present condition you might have injured your foreskin during the masturbation or may get infected if it was healthy previously.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have advised you to keep it clean and apply antiseptic ointment
if it doesn't improve or worsens than I would have ordered few investigations like blood for hemoglobin, CBC Liver and kidney function test, blood sugar and urine culture or an ultrasound if need be.
you may require a course of anti allergic or antibiotics drugs under supervision of doctor
In my opinion Application of hot packs will help in healing
If it doesn't improve or gets worsen than you must see your doctor for physical check up and a course of antibiotics if need be.
Hope this answers your question
If you have any more queries please feel free to write back to me, I will gladly answer you
Best wishes
