What Causes Irritated Penis And Burning Sensation During Urination Post Intercourse?
Hi, I m seeing my doctor soon for a physical, pap smear, etc., but my question is what could be the cause of this: after intercourse, my husband got red and irritated a few days later, and it burned a little when he urinated. It s 95% cleared up now he said, but I feel concerned. Could I have a vaginal infection? I don t seem to have any symptoms that are obvious. Thanks

Hello dear,
Understand your cause
Following are the cause of your problem
1. Hygiene problem: If you not wash penis area, segma that is deposited under fore skin irritate penile area and produce reaction
2. Balanitis: inflammation of the penis,
caused by poor hygiene, especially insufficient washing under the foreskin area.
Thrush, psoriasis, skin sensitivity or allergy to a product used on the penis (such as soap or lubrication)
3. overuse - as in too frequent, too long or too rough sexual activity
4. Fungal infection: in warm environment
5. STDs: gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia
Take following advice:
1.Change to a simple, unperfumed soap.
2. Put two handfuls of salt in the bath, but no other additives
3. Do not use biological powders when washing your underpants
5. Showering after a workout, changing underwear, using a clean towel to dry off with and not redressing until the area is completely dry
6. Use formulated penis vitamin and mineral formula: it moisturizes the skin and prevents flaking or cracked skin while revitalizing and enhancing the sensitivity of the penis
7. Apply anti fungal clotrimazole cream if severe or not resolved.
If not resolves do screening for STDs of both.
Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
