Hi and welcome to HCM. The front part of penis is called a glans penis and it is usually covered by skin. This part is very sensitive to touch and its base has many nerve endings which makes it more sensitive. If you have undergone a surgery called circumcision in which the skin covering the glans is removed, u may experience hypersensitivity of glans penis for few weeks and it subsides by itself. Even without surgery when you retract the foreskin the glans may be over sensitive to touch which is common. If you drink excess water, you will urinate more and that's not abnormal. If you have or had UTI please contact a local doctor for further treatment. In mean time drink cranberry juice which helps in preventing future UTI's. All the best
