Slight reddness and itching after sexual encounter

by worried6622, Apr 14, 2007 12:00AM
Alright I think I may have contracted a STD and am really worried.  I had unprotected Oral sex. I had protected sex then the condom came off and I touched my unprotected penis to a vagina for about 10 seconds.  I am uncircumcised.  I masturbate a lot, for a long time about an hour.  I masturbate a few times a day.  Here are the symptoms, about 2 days after my sexual encounter; I have redness around the urethra (redness below the urethra and a red slightly puffy circle around the urethra) and a slight itching sensation.  There are no bumps or anything abnormal except the itching.  Everything seems pretty normal with the redness and I have noticed the puffy circle before.  The redness is where the foreskin pulls down on the urethra.  The slight itching is bothering me, because I have never had any itching down there.  Around the urethra seems slightly red and irritated and the urethra (the lips) seem slightly swollen all though I am not sure about that. Sometimes the redness seems to disappear I never really examined my penis that much until recently.  There is no smell or discharge. Please help me as I don't have health insurance and am scared to death to get tested. It has been 2 weeks since my sexual encounter and the same symptoms still remain. To me the symptoms seem like gonorrhea, but since I am broke and don't have health insurance. I can't afford any kind of treatment anyway so any advice would help. Could it be a yeast infection? Am I just freaking out? Help I am scared to death

You could just be freaking out over nothing. Masturbating several hours a day could cause irritation but I'm not so sure about the burning (I don't have a penis). Try going to your county's public health clinic. It is very inexpensive and they deal with issues like this alllll the time, trust me. Since the government doesn't want everyone to spread around STDs, most countys have some way to help in easing the cost of treatment. But treatments are way ahead of yourself.

Also, try NOT masturbating for several days....see what happens.
