HI there. 23 year old male here, and I ve been experiencing a problem with my uncircumcised manhood. I know to go to a urologist for peace of mind, but that s next week, so I wish to come here firstly.
The underside of the glans (the part that faces away from me, where the frenulum attaches to the head) has had some painless bruising for most of 2017. It s reddish/purplish and is more visible when I m erect. There seems to be a single red line that kind of runs from the slit to the frenulum. As I said though, completely painless. The red line is surrounded by purplish-cloudy discolouration. Last time I had sex was August 2016. I never had intercourse unprotected, although I did receive oral sex without a condom. Supposedly my partner did not have a STI. The problem first arose in late February 2017. It seems to have worsened slightly over time, but never hurt me so it wasn t alarming. But now that it isn t going away, and future sex is on the horizon, I m worried it will look alarming to my partner. Around this time (Feb 2017,) I began to masturbate fairly frequently (4-6 times daily.) So this correlates with my bruising becoming apparent. I noticed the bruising worsening by May, so I decided to step down to my usual 1-2 times a day. No improvement, seems to be worsening a bit.
Now I m going to practice abstinence for the next week or so, and see if that results in any improvement. Does thissound fairly normal? Any Suggestions?
