Discoloration on glans and sulcus(purplelish/redish)

by robert128, Jun 08, 2009 02:09PM
For a while now I've had a a discoloration in the glans and sulcus of penis.  They are purple/redish.  It all started months ago when I had intercourse with a woman.  I used a condom but when I went to remove it I noticed blood on the outside of condom.  After a couple of days, I began to have a tingling sensation on head of penis where it connects to the shaft.  It also felt like I wanted to pee.  Then my testicles began to hurt and I also felt them very hot on the inside.  I went to an urologist and he did not think much of it.  Got me some cream to put on the head.  Later on, maybe a month, I felt my whole body was burning from the inside, like I was very hot but no sweat. Maybe another month went by and I started to notice the head of penis was turning purple or redish so was the sulcus.  I went to another urulogist and this did not seem to be a problem for him.  He asked me: Painful urintaion?  NO  Painful ejaculation? NO  Urine tests came normal.  So did tests for the most common STD's.  Apparently no STD.  I say apparently because my testicles feel warm/hot and so does my body.  I also feel like I am bloated, retaining water and I now feel my heartbeat through my chest.  I feel that all of this is related to the discoloration of my penis head.  Please advice.

I forgot to mention that about 3 weeks ago I began to feel the left side of my body tingling all over.  It started on the left foot.  It felt like if foot was asleep, like a lot of ants where crawling over foot.  Then it progressed to left arm.  The tingling sensation on body has subsided now, but I feel it a little bit.

Hello,
Such tingling sensations of the body can be due to are called parasthesia. Chronic paresthesia indicates a problem with the functioning of neurons.

Are you a diabetic or do you take alcohol?Parasthesias are common in alcoholics and metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidismThey can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition.

Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the tingling is gone or not.

In case the symptoms persist then pls consult a neurologist/physician as it can be due to some neurological disorder.As far as the change in color of the glans is concerned,so vascular diseases of the penis have to be ruled out.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
