Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Pain In The Penis

Hi there, the top inside my penis is currently painful. When touching it, there s a bump and is tender. It seems like something is inflamed... What could this be? I haven t had a sexual partner in the past month. And my previous partner was the same for 2 years. I believe that is more related to some urinary condition...

Hi,

These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse.

So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common.

In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so the test should be done as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be started. Till that try to drink plenty of fluids, avoid sexual intercourse and rest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
