Irritability in urethral meatus
Hi so I'm new to this site and as you can see by my name, I'm pretty anxious right now.
About two months ago I was diagnosed with HPV by discovering genital warts around my pubic area and on the base of the shaft. While it wasn't all that upsetting to find out because I know it's extremely common and harmless, I soon became paranoid over what else I could possibly have. I was promptly tested for Herpes and the anxiety of that test ruined me, but eventually the test said I was fine. Anyways, about two months have gone by and for some reason I am experiencing recent irritability in my "penis hole" or urethral meatus. It's gone on now for about two days. I HAVEN'T HAD SEX SINCE MY HPV DIAGNOSES AND HERPES TEST. THE LAST SEX I HAD WAS COMPLETELY PROTECTED WITH NO ORAL ALMOST THREEE MONTHS AGO. Now this recent subtle irritability only really flares up when I'm not active (like lifting or playing basketball or even walking). This irritation came after I masturbated one morning and has been around for the past coupe of days. It doesn't hurt to pee, it just feels like something is "in there". It should be worth noting that I just got over a sinus infection as well, which is why I'm now super worried it could be connected.
ALSO WORTH NOTING: For some dumb reason, I was taking 6000+ mg of Vitamin C for the past couple of weeks. I read that megadosing on Vitamin C can cause dehydration which could lead to irritation in the urethra. I don't know if this is true or not.
My questions to the public are:
1) Is this a symptom of HPV?
2) Is this a symptom of chlamydia or gonorrhea?
3) Is this a symptom of a UTI?
4) Is this a symptom of dehydration?
5) How long should I wait to get this checked out?
6) Am I just paranoid for no reason?

ALSO I FORGOT TO NOTE:
I have been taking creatine for about a month now, is this a symptom of an enlarged prostate?
