Irritation / burning feeling in head of penis and above penis in groin area

I had unprotected oral sex on Sunday, 5 days ago, from a new partner,  and almost immediately (within a few hours ) started to feel a slight irritation / burning feeling in my urethra/penis, it’s kind of hard to pinpoint but it feels sort of in the tip/head of my penis. There’s a similar feeling above my penis in the groin area. I have no other symptoms, no puss, no discharge at all, no blood in my urine and no surface area lesions or marks at all. Because of how quickly these symptoms appeared I’m hoping it’s not an std but I’m starting to worry because it hasn’t gone away. Symptoms have not gotten worse or better and it’s not really painfu, just a discomfort in that general area that’s pretty constant.

I went to my general doctors office on Tuesday and they’re currently testing my urine for bacteria so I should know those final results today, I got a message yesterday that there was no bacteria growth after 18 hours but will get another result for a longer wait period. . Looking for advice tho on what this could be and what I should do next.

You are not alone , brother.Dealing with this for a long time(about month and 2/30).Symptoms havent gotten worse , but just uncomfortable.Done all the tests too, everything negative.Best thing that works tor me now is to go all naked from the waist down and just try not to think about it.Watch some movies.I do not know if limiting masturbating helps.In my case, there was no change.I will see urologist soon.And I will post an update here, so you can know too.Best regards and hope you feel better soon.
By the way, by the time goes,symptoms seem to fade away.At least a little.So stay positive

naked at *home* though, do not try this outdoors :)
Thank you. Did your symptoms start right after a sexual encounter as well or just randomly? I’m wondering if it’s partly just me being super anxious and nervous about it, it seems like if I’m really focused on doing something else and my mind is taken off it, it gets better. But that just seems crazy.
I had unprotected oral sex and protected sex after that.The sex itself was really hard.Little worried about unprotected oral sex I washed it with soap , so this I think irritated it.The next day there was discofort and my underwear bothered me a lot.Its almost 2 months now, symptoms still present.I think Life Dave is right , it might be an injury.Also it might be anxiety in your case.If there is no bacteria, wait if it gets better I think.If not, do like me and visit urologist.Hope this helps
Thanks for your input! If it’s not better in a week or two I’ll go back and have tests done again and get examined. If no luck I’ll see what they recommend and probably see a urologist.
Please keep me updated with your situation.Also I didnt have burning in my groin area, but more in the scrotum(balls area).Our cases might also be different, but still the irritated tip is the same.Updates are highly appreciated.I will update you with my situation too.
Hey its almost a week now, how is it going?

Hi since the irritation stared soon after the afair its obviouse its from an injury from the act itself as no std shows symptoms the quickly but takes about 7 days to appear and it would consist of a white puss penis discharge and burning while urinating.

That’s what I figured as well based on my research. It also appears that no bacteria was found in my urine tests according to the doctor so they said to wait a bit and if it doesn’t get better to come back in for another examination and go from there. I was kind of hoping they would find something so I can start treatment but I guess I’m waiting around now for something to magically get better.
