What Causes Penis Pain With Swelling And Redness?
Hi, my boyfriends penis is very red and almost looks as if it has been burned. It is at the op of the penis and on top of the skin and it seems to be a bit swollen. He is in pain and anything that touches or rubs against it is agonizing for him. It started a few days ago and we did have intercourse yesterday and today he is in such pain he hurts to even walk.

Hello,
It looks like your boy friend is suffering from either Balanitis or Balanoposthitis.
It can also be due to rough sexual intercourse, injury or allergy due to latex(condom), spermicides.
No worries he'll get fine. He needs to visit ER, get him examined & treated at the earliest. In the meantime abstain from sex for a couple of days.
He will have to go for a few blood tests, urine tests, swabs from the glans penis to test for infection from the laboratory.
He may have to get STD tests done to rule out Chlamydia, Yeast infections, Fungal infections or Gonorrhea. He needs antibiotics & antivirals.
He can take Acetaminophen(Tylenol) or Combiflam for relieve from pain & inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
