What Causes Redness At The Tip Of Penis?

Hello how is it going? I'm a college student (19 years old) I had a one night stand with this girl i met the same night. We had sex and I did not use protection. I am sure I am clean, and I asked this girl if she was clean and she said she recently got tested and she was clean.

I've had sex before, most of the times with protection. We had sex five days ago and just two days ago I always get the sensation to piss most of the time like I didn't empty my bladder fully.

There is no pain thankfully and I am getting checked for STD's monday. there is a little unusual redness at the tip of my penis though and I'm really scared. Im not in any pain just this whole thought process is really scaring me mentally.

Please help asap, thank you very much

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

Brief Answer :
It could be a UTI or simple Balanitis of penis head.

Detailed Answer :
As a physician I would like to tell you that you should not worry too much and undergo a STD examination as soon as possible. Also don't loose your mind on anything till the diagnosis is not done as it could be a simpele case of Balanitis or UTI.

Thus, I would like to suggest you that you should use a condom having sex with unknown partners despite of whatever they say about their health condition as some STDs could be life threatening.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
