What Causes Discomfort In The Urethral Opening?

Meatus (opening of urtethra) on penis feels irritated constantly everyday for the last 3 months after I ve been positive of chlamydia and took treatment. Two weeks later took another test and came back negative. Yet the only thing that remains is the the irritation on just the lips and no where else.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Discomfort in the urethral opening could occur in some people following Chlamydia infection.
This could be due to mucosal inflammation which could persist even after taking treatment.
Kindly clean the opening with mild antiseptic solution like Povidine-Iodine solution twice daily.
Take multivitamin capsules once a day for 15 days.
Drink good quantities of water.
Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
