Feel itchy inside head of my penis (urethra?)

I have an annoying itchy feeling inside the  of my penis and have the urge to urinate. I had a sexual encounter with a sex workere. I received uncovered oral but the intercourse was protected with the condom remamining intact. Is this an STD? The itchying is so annoying I need to squeeze the head of my penis in order to scratch it.

I appreciate a response.

Grace,

I am glad that my Doc followed protocol. My STD tests results came back negative and the itchying subsided due to  Clotrimazole. I also took precaution by abstaining from any sexual activity not to enhance the itchying and irritation.

over use of antibiotics has caused a lot of problems and medicine tries not to use them unless they really have to. you should be glad your provider is up to date and following protocols!!!

I went to see my Doc. She examined my genitals and opening of the penis which looks inflamed. She doesn't think it is STD related but took samples for GC/Chalmydia testing. She seemed to think that it is a yeast infection and prescribed Clotrimazole. I had similar problems a couple of years ago where another Doc. gave me antibiotic while waiting for STD test results which was negative. I would have liked it if the Doc did the same this time around.

One other thing, the urge to urinate is also associate with your prostate so have them check it  out also as could be prostititus. the urethrea, prostate and bladder are all connected by the same uratic system.
Youll be just fine and quit taking chances,

In fact, I had similar symptoms a few years ago. STD tests came back negative but the Doc gave me two pills onsite which took care of the problem. You are right, the person I had encounter with did not have a good hygene.

I am going to an STD clinic first thing in the morning.

Thank you and I sincerely appreciate the promot reply.
