What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Penis After Intercourse?

I had intercourse with my wife and afterwards I went to sleep. When I awoke to urinate I noticed me penis head was swollen and distorted so much when I urinated it was a split stream as if my foreskin was still covering part of the opening. Any way the sex was a little rough so maybe it was a little beat up. I have been applying topical otc anti-fungal cream. The symptoms seem to be easing. Not sure if it s from the cream or just because it has been 5 days since sex. I am not circumcised but my parents taught me the importance of cleaning myself. Would an infection happen so quickly or was it just recovering from a rough ride?

Hi there and thank you for your question.

I appreciate your concern regarding this issue and I shall be glad to help.

In my opinion, it seems that your symptoms are related more to the sexual activity rather than an infection.

Whether it be fungal or bacterial, any infection of the head of the penis would take around 12-24 hours before causing any symptoms and longer than that before you see signs of an infection.

I think you can stop using the antifungal medication now and the issue should resolve completely on its own in the next couple of days of rest.

I hope this helps and good luck.
