Have Mild Redness On Glans And Urethra, No Discharge And No Sores After Unprotected Oral Sex. What To Do?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Mild redness of glans without any sores or pain is not really worrisome. You can get yourself tested for chlamydia,gonorrhea etc to detect any infective cause.There might be some inflammation of the urethra causing a non specific urethritis. Most cases reduce on its own and dont require treatment.Some people need antibiotics for a few days.But most important is keeping good hygiene,avoid unprotected sex,was with a antiseptic solution and after sex and urination.
If you develop burning,itching etc then you definitely need antibiotics.
As for now,just keep clean and avoid unprotected sex and see if the sensation reduces.
You can use topical treatment like 1% hydrocortisone ointment for symptomatic relief.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
