Patient's question:
Pain on the head of the penis, occasionally like a needle pricking, has been happening for over a year. In the past, it occurred more frequently during hot weather when I used to masturbate. I haven't sought treatment for it. Now, after masturbation, the penis swells and there is a pain similar to a needle pricking, which subsides after a few hours.Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infection may be severe. In your case, it is recommended to get a urinalysis as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis.Medical Advice: It is suggested to take azithromycin orally or receive intravenous ceftriaxone for treatment. When experiencing urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria, you can take Jiuwei-2 tablets to relieve spasms.
Lifestyle Management: It is essential to drink plenty of water to increase urine output, which helps flush the urethra and prevent infections. Avoid excessive and rough sexual activity, reduce consumption of spicy foods and alcohol. Additionally, you should stop masturbation, as it may also lead to infections.
