[50M] Experiencing penile irritation and frequent urination

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible causes for your symptoms include:

• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): This is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra. UTIs can cause frequent urination and discomfort, but usually also cause pain or burning sensation during urination, which you did not report.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare professional.

• Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Some STIs can cause penile irritation and frequent urination. Given your recent unprotected oral sex, this could be a possibility. Common STIs include gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics or antiviral medications, depending on the specific STI.

• Balanitis: This is an inflammation of the head of the penis. It can cause itching, irritation, and frequent urination. It's more common in uncircumcised men and can be caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infections.

  • Treatment typically involves good hygiene, avoiding irritants, and sometimes topical creams or antibiotics.

What you can do

1. Seek medical attention: Given your symptoms and recent unprotected sex, it's important to see a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They may need to perform tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

2. Practice good hygiene: Clean the area with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using any products that could potentially irritate the area.

3. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help flush out your urinary system and may help alleviate some of your symptoms.

What you should look out for

• If your symptoms worsen or do not improve in the next few days, seek medical attention immediately.
• If you develop additional symptoms such as pain during urination, discharge from the penis, or fever, seek medical attention immediately.
