Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com,
swelling with redness and pain underneath head of penis just after sex is suggestive of having an infection around penis. Most probable infection type seems to be genital herpes from your descriptions of complaints that you have provided. Genital herpes is contracted by oro-genital route by means of unprotected sexual intercourse. Its manifestations includes red coloured painful lesions around genital mucus membranes, vesicles, erosions, burning sensations, dysuria, painful coitus. Treatment includes antiviral medications such as acyclovir for 5-7 days, however chances of recurrence is very high. Precautions includes maintaining genital hygiene, avoiding sexual intercourse for about 2 weeks tills lesions heals, avoiding unprotected sexual intercourse.
Also try to seek an opinion from venereologist before starting treatment.
Thank you.
