male urethral opening redness after masturbating

I was recently masturbating and I noticed that my urethral opening was a bit red afterwards.​ I was a bit concerned, and at first I thought I was getting a urinary tract infection.​ I did some research online, and I was surprised to find that I wasn’t alone.​ It turns out that the redness in the urethral opening can be a common issue for a lot of guys after masturbating.​

It wasn’t too concerning for me initially, but I decided to talk to my doctor.​ She said that sometimes this is normal, but she still recommended that I look into it a bit more and look for possible causes.​ She prescribed me some antibiotics, just in case I had developed an infection.​

I still felt a bit concerned about the issue, so I started to look into it more heavily.​ Through more research, I discovered that it can be caused by a few different things.​ One of the most common reasons is an allergic reaction either to soap or to materials from a sex dolls toy.​ The other cause could be inflammation due to vigorous masturbation or a lack of lubrication.​

After reading up a bit more, I decided to be more mindful the next time I masturbated.​ I started using natural soaps and non-toxic materials for any sex toys.​ I also made sure to use more lubrication.​ I could tell almost immediately that my redness had started to decrease.​

At this point, I still weren’t sure if my urethral opening redness was caused by an infection or by over-stimulation.​ So, I decided to go to the doctor and have them take a swab.​ Fortunately, the swab and the antibiotics confirmed that I didn’t have an infection.​

I felt really relieved, and I was happy to find out that I was able to take care of the issue without having to go on antibiotics.​ My doctor suggested that I keep doing what I was doing — using natural soaps and more lubrication — and to keep an eye on it.​

I’ve stayed very consistent with my new routine, and I’m happy to say that the redness has held steady over the last few months.​ Yeah, it can still pop up here and there, but I know what it looks like and how to prevent it.​

Since then, I’ve learned a lot about urethral opening redness.​ For example, I’ve learned about how to prevent it, what might cause it, and how to take care of it.​ Also, I think it’s important to talk to your doctor about any physical symptoms or changes.​ I’ve been seeing my doctor more regularly, and it gives me peace of mind knowing that they’re keeping track of my health.​

I’m also really glad that I discovered this issue early on, because I can enjoy masturbating with peace of mind now.​ It’s important to know what to look for and how to prevent it.​ If any of my friends are experiencing similar redness or other symptoms like pain, discomfort, or itchy skin, I tell them to be sure to check in with a medical professional!
