Why Do I Have Burning Sensation And Inflamed Redness On The Head Of My Penis?
Question: Hello, my girlfriend and I have been having unprotected sex. The past few times I have felt a hot burning sensation on my penis. Then after notice inflamed redness mostly on the head of my penis. Would like to know possible causes as I have never experienced this before. Thanks in advance.
Brief Answer:
Rule out vaginitis
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Thanks for your query. Given the fact that you have sex without a condom barrier, and the symptoms of penile irritation happen only after intercourse, it would be prudent for your girlfriend to undergo a pelvic exam with some samples, as sometimes secretions from vaginitis or vaginosis can cause skin irritation in the partner; sometimes, these vaginosis may be a consequence of normal comensal flora proliferation. Then, the physician can send those fluid samples for analysis.
Hope that helps, wish you the best,
