Deep red swelling beneath glans
I am a 25 year old sexually inactive male.
I used to masturbate regularly till 2007 and then stopped for a good 1.5 years.
Post that I restarted masturbating about a year back (once in a while), I stated noticing light yellow/white discharge happening practically every other day.
A few months earlier, I noticed a deep red swelling on my penis when i pulled my uncircumcised penis about 1/2 a cm beneath the glans. it is about 7-8mm in diameter and practically of the same colour as my blood.
That is when i felt that maybe my discharge was some sort of a pus coming out of this rather than penis mouth.
About 3 weeks ago I was watching some stimulating material and had an erection, when I went to the bathroom to clean up the precum, I saw slight amount of blood mixed with the precum.
I have so far not experienced any pain or discomfort, and had i not pulled back my foreskin to such level, I probably would not even have discovered this.
I have not been to a doctor still regarding this. Please suggest what could this be and what should I do about it

Sir,
I consulted a urologist and he has diagnosed nfectious glanuloma.
From what I'm reading on the internet, it is an STD, and I'm not sexually active? Is the diagnosis correct?
He has given me antibiotics for the next 5 days and suggested 2 treatment options from then on, one is chemically burning the lump and second through electric current. What do you suggest

Hello,
From the symptoms urethritis especially due to Chlamydia and gonorrhea need to be ruled out. Other causes include cytomegalovirus,trichominiasis ; inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis), epididymis (epididymitis), or urethra (urethritis) ; calculi (stones )in the seminal vesicles or prostate ; polyps in the urethra ; ejaculation-duct obstructions ; cysts, hemorrhage, or other abnormalities in the seminal vesicles or benign or malignant tumors.
I suggest you an immediate urologist’s consultation.
Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
