What Causes Scraping Under The Penis Head Post Intercourse?

default
Posted on Thu, 9 Oct 2014
Question: My boyfriends penis is getting cut/sliced/scraped when we have sex. we have been in a monogamous relationship for 8 months and have not had any issues until 2 weeks ago. The first instance was originally thought to be friction burns, so we gave it four days to heal, and then had sex again. This seemed to 're-injure' or cause the mostly healed lacerations to open up again. This time we went to a clinic, the MD examined his penis, said it wasn't an infection and looked like friction burns. she then examined me, I had no symptoms, but decided it was better to be safe. she did a swab test, and told me I had a bacterial infection AND a yeast infection. again, I had no symptoms. so I started the week of antibiotics and vagasil,my boyfriend also had a cream he applied, we waited a whole week, to have sex again. last night, immediately after sex he had developed the same abrasions just under the head of his penis. They are very shallow scrapes going around the shaft. he says he feels as if something inside of me if scraping him. I do not have an IUD, and have tried exploring to see if I can feel anything. if there is something it would be 7-8 inches up and I can't find it. both of us are clean, we don't use condoms, he has had a vasectomy. We were having sex for about 8 months before this issue arose, and it has happened the past 3 times we have had sex.

Brief Answer:
High Vaginal infection likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The scraping under the penis head is not likely to be due to some foreign body inside the vagina. IUD is the most common foreign body that has been ruled out already. It is more likely to be an infection high up in the vagina. A foreign body is likely to cause a scrape only on one side of the penis and not on all the sides. You can get a high vaginal swab culture done to find out the infection and a direct examination of the area by your gynecologist.
Both the partners need to be treated with antibiotics simultaneously to avoid recurrence.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

we went to a clinic and were both treated for a bacterial infection, as I mentioned I had no symptoms but completed the week of antibiotics and vagisil. There was no difference. The location of the abrasions depends on the position we are in... missionary left the first set on the top part of the penis, the second time was from behind standing up and resulted in the marks on the bottom part, last night back to missionary left the marks on just the top.

Brief Answer:
Needs an examination.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
From the description it seems that there is a localized lesion or a foreign body in vagina. This needs a direct per speculum examination to find out the cause.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
