Are Warts Around The Pubic Area And Irritation In Urethra Signs Of HPV?

ALSO WORTH NOTING: For some dumb reason, I was taking 6000+ mg of Vitamin C for the past couple of weeks. I read that megadosing on Vitamin C can cause dehydration which could lead to irritation in the urethra. I don't know if this is true or not.
My questions to the public are:
1) Is this a symptom of HPV?
2) Is this a symptom of chlamydia or gonorrhea?
3) Is this a symptom of a UTI?
4) Is this a symptom of dehydration?
5) How long should I wait to get this checked out?
6) Am I just paranoid for no reason?
Urethritis symptoms,nothing serious though....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through the medical history carefully and understood your concern.
There are some points to recapitalize in your case:
- male diagnosed with HPV 2 months ago
- no recent sexual intercourse
- only masturbation recent history
- urethral irritation after getting masturbated
- no signs of penile discharge or smelling
- using high doses of vit C
In all your history, I can find urethritis (inflammation of urethral opening) after masturbation. This is due to friction while masturbating.
To answer your questions:
1. No
2. No
3. Should run urine analysis to rule out UTI
4. A complete blood electrolytes and pH studies are needed to rule out/confirm dehydration. Urine analysis can also help.
5. Keep good genital hygiene. Take OTC AZO standard to get relief from burning/pain.
6. Can run STDs tests to exclude other STDs, however to me you're worrying unnecessarily as long as no discharge is present.
Avoid masturbation and sex until improvement. If no amelioration within next couple of days, should see your doctor or urologist for further evaluation.
All the best.
