SWELLING ON THE URETHRA
Hello,
First things first, I am a 24 year old male and the last time I had sexual intercourse is about 7 months ago. How it all started was that a girl was rubbing/playing with the tip of my penis, pee hole (urethra). The day she played with it, only felt good but the next day, I've noticed a swelling on both left and right side of the urethra, tingly sensation + burning sensation while I urinate. I've checked with my doctor and he said he sees no problem with my urine and I've got a STD check and it said it was clean except one thing, HSV-1 where many americans have it. He prescribed me a ONE PILL antibiotic for one serving and I've asked him if i should come back for a check up and he said no.
3 months after the check up, its still the same symptoms but not AS bad but still here. I currently do not have insurance so I pay the $150 dollar fee + check ups and what not. I do not want to go back to the doctor and hear the same thing paying hundreds of dollars without my symptoms being cured or even knowing what I have. This symptom is the most serious after I masturbate rubbing my urethra but if I masturbate just by stroking the shaft, not so much. So I am assuming this symptom comes back when I stress the urethra by touching it in any way. Please help me, because apparently my doctors thinks I am fine when I KNOW I am not.

the one pill you were given previously covered ngu and chlamydia. it's not a bad way to guess and hope it works but obviously the problem was something unrelated to both of those.
return to be seen again. an urologist would be a good idea at this point for your ongoing symptoms.

No, I did not because I figured the doctor would say the same thing, there is nothing wrong with me and he is going to prescribe me an antibiotic of ONE serving.
hey grace~
I had a quick question.
approximately how long would this healing process take?
and what should i stay away from?
because the symptom is still here =[

oh don't open your urethral opening and run water into it!! no need to do that at all.
no need to shower after ejaculating either.
just wash the lil fellow with a mild soap like unscented dove once daily while in the shower. use a good sex lube for masturbation too.

I thought the same, where it can be just an irritation. However, I do not know how to take good care of the little guy I am guessing? I wash the urethra by opening the hole slightly with warm water twice a day, and as soon as I ejaculate I pee and immediately shower. What more can I do to better myself? And thank you for your response grace!
you have to be kind to the lil guy dear! he's very delicate!!
this sounds like irritation more than anything.

No I do not because I was scared that it will worsen the situation. I don't use anything.
