Embarrassing Question

Hello, I have an STD test tomorrow just to make sure but I had a hookup about a week and a half ago after being celibate for a while and yesterday my junk just started itching like a mf. I’m not dirty or anything and I shower every single night. I’m leaning more towards jock itch but I’m not too sure. I checked for debris and nothing. If the only symptom is itching, how concerned should I be?

Redness on glands normal

Does this redness look normal. I’ve tested negative for STDs. I also saw a urologist and got swabbed for fungus which also came back negative. It looks super red and patchy after I shower or masturbate.

Could this be eczema? Gonna try to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist soon. I don’t use shampoo and I wear breathable underwear. The only thing I haven’t tried is unscented laundry soap which I plan to switch to.

Is this normal or should i get checked?

I’ve been getting these after I finish and it’s bothering me. I was wondering if it’s normal or should i get it checked. It wasn’t like this but started to appear after I had intercourse with someone months ago. I got checked for stds the previous month and was negative. Should i get checked for stis as well?

Help !!

I'm a 18 year old male and I've noticed that my erections are getting weaker. I started masturbating around 2-3 years ago and now my erection is at 80 to 90%. Also I need to constantly stimulate my dick or else my erection fades quickly. My guess is that this is due to excess masturbation because I jerk off like 2 times a day everyday while watching porn. If I stop masturbating for a week or two I get 100% erection. Pls give me some advice on how to stop watching porn and stop masturbating

Experiencing insanely high sensitivity/pain on the head of penis for the past month. Slowly ruining my life…

For over a month now I have been dealing with a large area on the head of my penis that is highly sensitive and borderline painful when it comes into contact with 99% of things.

I have had a few friction burns on the head in the past and originally thought that this was just another one of those. Usually takes about 2 weeks for one of those burns to usually make a full recovery. But this time there was no reddish/scabby area that was indicative of a friction burn. All that I’ve witnessed as any visibly difference in change is a large portion of the head of my penis skin now being a much lighter tone than the rest of the head. This lighter tone area also comes across as more “shiny” than the surrounding normal area of skin.

Ever since this started it has taken a crazy mental + physical toll on my mind and my body. I have to wear a specific type of polyester boxer brief now. It is the only material that when it rubs across the head of my penis I don’t wretch in uncomfortableness/pain. I have to wear every pair or shorts/pants shifted to the side so those “bulky” parts of the material don’t come into any contact with the head of my penis. I have to now abstain from things I like doing like biking, hiking etc due to the sensitivity and pain that occurs when I’m moving around. I know certain movements that I will do will rub against it in a certain way and cause this horrible feeling. Don’t even get me started on the effects of my sex life because now I can’t do anything with my girlfriend for the past month.

It’s terrible. I haven’t changed soaps at all, haven’t started a new way of masturbating, or any new way of sex to trigger this. No new laundry detergent, nothing I can see that changed to cause this. I have a dermatology appointment in a week and hopefully they can come to a conclusion on what I’m dealing with and how to solve the problem.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this happen to them? If so, what did you do to treat it? Starting to become seriously worried that I may have nerve damage or something since it hasn’t gotten any better.

I attached a picture incase anyone might see that they dealt with the same thing.

Male, mid 30's, uncut. Precum-like stains in underwear after normal daily activity.

Male, mid 30's, uncut. Precum-like stains in underwear after normal daily activity.

--------

Hi guys.

I'm male, mid 30s, living Melbourne Australia. Uncut (foreskin) and recently had my bloods taken and testosterone normal etc. and usually wear boxer briefs or briefs.

I notice that I go about my day like normal and of course throughout the day us being men get horny thoughts pop up during the day etc - well I do anyway. Ie normal appetite for sex and libido etc.

At the end of the day when I go for a shower and change out of my underwear, I tend to mostly notice in the front pouch what looks like precum stains and then when I pull back my foreskin (before showering and without having any wanking etc) it's pretty moist with precum-like looking substance etc.

Just wondering if other men - esp uncut (foreskin intact) - also find they have this too and notice similar in their underwear pouch at the end of the day? And if its my body being overly reactive with producing excessive precum like substances.

Recurrent balanitis or something else? Looking for opinions. Read history in body

Hi everyone,
About a year ago, I had a pretty severe episode where my foreskin became very inflamed with whitish thingy, and I couldn’t retract it at all. I used an antifungal cream, and it gradually cleared up.
Fast forward about six months, and I’m dealing with something similar again. I have redness and a small red spot forming on the inner foreskin, along with some inflammation. This time it’s much milder—I can still retract my foreskin with only slight discomfort.
I’ve attached photos of what it currently looks like.
I’m not sure whether this is recurrent balanitis, a yeast (Candida) infection, irritation, or something that could be STD-related. I don’t have severe pain, just mild discomfort and inflammation.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Based on the photos, what do you think it looks like? Any advice would be appreciated.

Is this a boil on my scrotum

I went to my PCP a month ago for what I thought was a cyst on my scrotum. Last night I felt it become really swollen and this is what it looks like now. I had a ultrasound and it showed up nothing but it wasn't this red and swollen until this morning.

I know I probably need to go back to the doctor now but even if I do I don't have money until Wednesday for antibiotics

Thanks for your time.

Help me please

Small indentation on the side of my penis. It disappears during erection, no pain, no hard lump. Is this normal or should I be concerned?”

u/Acceptable-Animal232 — 14 days ago

I need your help. Scrotum swells like a balloon when I sleep / lie down and improves when upright. (Varicocele treatment didn’t help)

Hello, for many months now I have been waking up with a swollen, enlarged scrotum, almost like a balloon.

This also happens if I lie down in bed during the afternoon, so it is not necessarily related to nighttime or sleep. When I am sitting, the swelling usually goes down and it sometimes improves while I am standing as well.
When I am lying down it is obviously extremely rare for it to subside.

It feels as though, depending on my position, my scrotum fills with fluid or somehow becomes enlarged, and I do not understand why.

In my view, this may be the main cause of a series of erectile and sexual problems that I have unfortunately been experiencing for months. I believe that my weak morning erections, which have also persisted for months, may be disrupted by this scrotal swelling. I also wonder whether the swelling could somehow be interfering with the testicles’ normal hormonal function during the night.

A few days ago, I underwent varicocele embolization performed by an interventional radiologist, but so far the swelling appears to be unchanged.

The andrologists I have seen have failed to take my concerns seriously. One prescribed Viagra, another prescribed hCG injections, while others told me to “get back out there, meet women, and start having sex again!” or to see a sex therapist, as though, for some of them, the problem were hormonal and, for others, purely psychological. I stopped both Viagra and Gonasi after three months because, during the final month, they were no longer producing satisfactory results, and I preferred to manage without them.

In the meantime, I have had two partners. Despite the good times, love, mutual support, and even some good sex, I have not returned to anything close to my normal sexual functioning.

The pattern of swelling has never changed, regardless of whether I was going through a good or difficult period in my life.

For some time now, I have been recording videos and taking photos of the swelling.

I am genuinely asking for your help. I am desperate to find an explanation and an effective treatment, because this situation is profoundly affecting my sex life and my overall quality of life.

I have now been living with this for almost two years. I have undergone many tests, and everything appears to be within the normal range, yet I assure you that something is not normal. The videos and photos clearly document morning swelling that I had never experienced before all this began.

My heartfelt thanks to anyone willing to take my story seriously and offer an idea, some advice, or any possible direction.
