What Causes Swelling In Head Of Penis After Sex?

hi i had sex for the very first time in my life , i did it with my girlfriend she was virgin too , it was unprotected and before putting my penis inside her i pulled my forskin back behind the glans . after intercourse the skin beneath the head of my penis got swollen a little bit but it didnot worry me so we had sex again but after this the swelling aggravated although not painful while urinating but just it is irritating . its been 5 days since the sexual activity and the swelling has not subsided it only worsens every morning when i have an errection . it seems as if some liquid is clot inside the swollen skin . i tried hot saline water dip and ice packs too but nothing seems to work . it is not painfull but my foreskin cant go back over the head cause of this swelling and when this sensitive skin touches clothes it irritates. please help , i am 19 years old.

welcome to hcm,
the inflammation in the head of the penis is balanitis. usually the foreskin also gets inflamed. it is usually seen in uncircumcised men.
it is usually caused by bacterial ,fungal or STD
treatment depends upon the cause .it is treated by external anti fungal cream application, oral anti fungal medications
if bacterial infection is suspected antibiotics may be prescribed.
consult with your treating physician, as these drugs are prescription based medications
hope this explains
with regards
