Hello my penis has had a tingling sensation at the tip for the last week. I have had not had sex in over a year and i just returned from a clinic and they turned me down because they said i had to make an appointment with my real doctor. I wanted to take a test but now im freaking out. The question is what is my problem?

hi,
tingling sensation over penis need not be always due to STD. there are other causes as well.
tingling sensation just says that there is local or systemic sensory nerve damage.
Gonorrhoea
Chlamydia
Bacterial urethritis infection
Dermatitis
Diabetes mellitus
Prostatitis
Genital herpes
Kidney stones
Traumatic damage to nerves in the penis
neuropathy related to vit b12, deficiency,
to rule out these detailed history needed.
dont worry, when you get your appointment with doctor meet and he will help you in right diagnosis.
mean while, you can use test your blood sugar, apply some anti fungal creams over it lightly. dry it after bath, use dry underwear.
wish you good health
