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 for confirmation.Medical advice: It is suggested to take azithromycin orally or receive ceftriaxone intravenously for treatment. If you experience urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria, you can take Jiuwei 654-2 tablets to relieve spasms.
Lifestyle care: You must drink more water to increase urine output, which helps flush the urethra and prevent infection. Avoid excessive and rough sexual activity, and reduce the intake of spicy foods and alcohol. Additionally, you should stop masturbation, as it may also lead to infection.
