Hi,
Some history:
Just to start off with a bit of background to my problem, my foreskin would not retract and so at the age of 18 I saw a doc who prescribed me some steroid cream and told me to slowly retract it everyday. This worked and I've now also gotten over the initial sensitivity of the glans. The doctor noticed that I had a short frenulum and so gave me a frenuloplasty. This was also successful. Since then I have had a couple of instances of thrush but this has been cleared up by applying some Canesten each time.
I had unprotected sex with my long term girlfriend a couple of months ago and the next day my glans was red and my foreskin was swollen and red. I tried Canesten for two-three weeks and saw only some improvement. Consequently, I saw my doc again who prescribed me some Timodine (a 0.5% steroid cream) and this cleared everything up.
The problem:
Since then however, if I have an erection with my foreskin covering the glans, the glans feels quite tight and uncomfortable. After masterbation, I often notice that my glans is a bit swollen. This goes down after about half an hour but I can't help but feel like the two problems are linked and I particularly want to sort out the uncomfortable erections.
I broke up with my girlfriend about a month ago and so am afraid that the next time I have sex, because the activity will last a lot longer than masterbation, it will create problems. Also, it's playing havoc with my self-confidence, which isn't fun.
Thanks in advance
