Penile Inflammation and red line under penis
I am a 22 year old college student and recently have noticed some discomfort after a night of having sex. From what I know about the girl she isn't one to worry about, however, I am quite paranoid about my sexual health.
We had intercourse with a condom earlier in the day, 3 days ago. Later the next morning after drinking a little too heavily I woke up in bed next to her, but we were both clothed and neither of us thought that we had had sex. Unfortunately, I woke up with quite a bit of discomfort that felt almost like a burning or inflamed sensation on the shaft and tip of my penis, as well as a little inflammation and redness on my scrotum. I also noticed a "reddish" line going from the below the head of my penis to the scrotum. i have been STD tested many times before, but all tested negative.
I have noticed a little discomfort when urinating, however, nothing to the extent to which I couldn't bare to urinate or had to stop. The inflammation and discomfort is still present after 3 days and I am starting to get a little worried. Should I be? what are the possibilities of what is causing this?

Hello,
It is true that UTI is common in women but it is also not very uncommon in men. However if there is any white discharge then Chlamydia has to be ruled out. Chlamydia can be passed during vaginal, anal, or oral sex if you do not use a condom every time you have sex. Because there are often no symptoms, people who are infected may unknowingly pass Chlamydia to their sex partners. Only urine culture and urethral swab examination can confirm the diagnosis.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.

I just went to the general medicine doctor and he tested me for a long list of STDs and thinks it may most likely be chlamydia. He said that he noticed a little clear discharge and that my symptoms sound like that is the most probable cause for my discomfort and that UTI's are extremely rare in men. Do you agree with his results?
The last partner I had we used a condom, however, she did give me oral a few days before. I read that that could be a reason and possible cause for chlamydia... I took a urine sample and blood test and am now waiting on the results.My discomfort occurred the very next morning after the first time we had sex and has been persistent since.. i have also noticed a little discomfort in one of my testicles (but he suggested that may be a symptom so I don't know if I am just being paranoid).
Any more feedback you could give me would be great. Thank you!

Hello,
The symptoms are not suggestive of any STD. However the rash or pink line could be due to friction rub with clothes. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
As far as the burning sensation is concerned, I would suggest you to get UTI(urinary tract infection) and prostatitis ruled out. You need a complete physical examination and investigations like complete urine examination, urine culture, swab specimen from the genitalia and ultrasound lower abdomen to find out the cause. Please consult a urologist for that.
To tackle with this burning sensation, please take abundant fluids throughout the day.
