My urethra running along my shaft has recently turned red and a few millimeters around it are very red. I am not sure why. I am only 15 and have had no sexual experiances so that rules out a few things. The only thing I worry about is that I masterbate about 8 times a week and this red shaft has only come where I grip my penis for pleasure. Please help.
Hi there,
I think that you are having issues with urethra inflammation which is called urethritis. Have you heard about this condition? The symptoms are just as you have described redness and burning feeling. You have to understand that here are several things that can cause this problem, not just sexual transmitted diseases. You can have the inflammation from the soap or some sort of lotion if you use any wile you masturbate. Maybe if you some creams down at your pubic area or on your penis you might have an irritation on your urethra. If you don’t have any discharges you don’t need to see a doctor and the only thing important is to keep your penis clean.
All the best,
Danella
