I've been having a seemingly non-serious problem that has been bugging me for a month.
The main symptom is that of mild pain/numbness in the upper corona of penis. The penis just doesn't feel a 100% right. It seems a bit dead. I am having no problems getting erection or ejaculating.
It started a month back due to rough masturbation. I probably used a hard grip, no lube and went back-to-back, probably thrice.
Anyway, went to a doc and told him everything. He discovered another problem and gave me an anti-fungal. However, it flared up (turns out it was candidal balanitis) and I had to change the anti-fungal, and 10 days later the infection was gone.
However the pain and the redness/purplish coloration on the corona is still there. My doc tells me there is nothing to worry about, but I'm afraid he's not probing enough.
In summary:
Pain/numbness in corona of penis. The corona is redder/purple.
Penis feels lifeless. (it doesn't rise when I pull my legs in)
No problems with erections/ejaculation
Thanks,
while you are waiting for responses here, let me suggest that you may want to re-post your inquiry in one or both of these communities as well --
-- the men's sexual health community, http://exchanges.webmd.com/mens-health-community , where there is an expert on-board, and
-- the urology community, http://exchanges.webmd.com/urology , where there is no expert on-board but there seem to be other knowledgeable correspondents.
i know you described your concern as "seemingly non-serious," but if it "has been bugging you for a month," it deserves to be taken seriously, and i hope you can find some relief.
