Suggest Treatment For Inflamed Penis
Question: Hello. This morning i woke up to my penis fully inflamed, hurts to the touch,fully retracted and almost looks like its chafed. Havent had any sex in over a year. But did have Oral sex in july. Also im working in a very dirty hot humid place i dont not know if that has anything to do with it. Last week i had a bad smell coming from my penis. I washed and put baby powder and it went away. Could i have a STD ?
Brief Answer:
Infective aetiology (Process).
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic.
Iam Dr Ganesh.
It seems like an infective process, and possible STD can not be ruled out.
Smelly discharge with inflammation is definitive sign of infection. In this case i would recommend to get an appointment to examine area and a swab should be taken from urethra and the discharge to be sent for culture - to identify the pathogens.
After that a course of antibiotic treatment will be enough to treat the problem.
As depending on the pathogens some variations in treatment can be done.
Possibilities of infection during oral sex are also there - So let one of the doctor examine you and sent the investigations.
Delay may cause complications in future. Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query.
Any thing to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
