Does Gonorrhea Cause Itching Under Surface Of The Penis?

default
Posted on Wed, 7 May 2014
Question: For about a month, I have had occasional itching on the underside of my penis and an occasional itching inside the head. It is not constant, and typically, the itching inside does not last very long, does not hurt, and seems to not occur if I am sure I am fully hydrated. I have tested positive in the past for Gonorrhea (about 6 months ago) and was treated. Could this be related? Should I see my PMD? Advice?

Brief Answer: Gonorrhea ? Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic, Gonorrhea does not present with itching on the under surface of penis, nor as itching over the scalp. It presents as burning sensation while passing urine and urethral discharge. This itching could be because of sweating and heat. Hope this helped, Take care.
