What Causes Stinging Sensation On Tip Of Penis And Sore Testicles?
Question: Hi I've developed a stinging sensation on the inside tip of my penis this is my first time having this feeling. I don't see anything abnormal just red dots that I have on the head of my penis after masturbation and they're painless. My scrotum is red and feels sore as well. This issue has been going on for a week. It does not hurt when I urinate nor do I have any blisters. I'm getting impatient as o went to the doctor and I won't get my results until 2 weeks. Any feedback on what this may be?
Brief Answer:
Stinging sensation could be Urethritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.
I have gone through your query.Your problem of stinging sensation of penis is most likely Urethritis.Urethritis can occur due to urinary infection or STDs like Gonorrhea, chlamydia or Herpes.Urine routine test urine culture and swabs should be taken for analysis to rule out these.In case of gonorrhea or chlamydia antibiotics like ceftriaxone and azithromycin works.But in case of herpes famcyclovir orally and local acyclovir ointment helps.
The red dots you mentioned if it looks like blistering type it is most likely herpes.In such case washing with ice water will give you relief.Empirical antibiotics should be started before getting the results.In such case i recommend ceftriaxone and azithromycin or doxycycline.I also advise flavoxate which is helpful to relieve the stinging sensation in most.
Hope this may help you.Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

I had chlamydia in September but took care of it after the Doctor gave me antibiotics. My girlfriend has been my only partner and she was cleared of herpes in September. As for the red dots they go away after a day or two and I see no lesions or blisters around my penis after 2 weeks. I am uncircumcised so Im thinking it is maybe the pressure I am putting on my penis. My biggest fear is herpes is this still a possibility?

Herpes can't be cured fully.You can get a remission of it.So once you got you can get it again and even spread to others.When your immunity become low it can flare up again.At those time can get antiviral treatment with famcyclovir as oral tablets and acyclovir cream or ointment for local application.

Im sorry what I meant to say was that the test for herpes were negative for my girlfriend as in she doesnt have it.Being uncircumsized how can i get infections? The red dots do not hurt and are not blisters, they come and go after masterbation. My scortum also feels hot. Im losing sleep and the next 2 weeks will be tough. Does this sound like herpes???
Brief Answer:
Uncircumcised are more prone to STDs.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for your follow up query.
Genital herpes can be initially manifest as stinging or burning sensation in tip of penis. But can't confirm it with out a rash or wide symptoms or tests. But if your scortum feels hot or with redness it can be a sign of infection like chlamydia or gonorrhea which gives a epididymo-orchitis. So empirical antibiotic therapy should be started by approaching a GP or dermatovenerologist in such case. Don't panic and just relax, as your anxiety causing you feel that you have some thing serious.
