Meatus and HSV?

Hey there all!

I noticed that my meatus has a very small bump. Im not sure if it has always been there. If this was an HSV2 blister, would it hurt when I urinate? Because it doesn't and I'm not sure what to make of it.

I got worried when I squeezed the head of my penis as some very small amount of clear fluid came out from this bump. But I would have imagined that if this was HSV it would have stung when I urinate. Also, it does not hurt to touch.

Thanks

Anyone? would HSV of the urethra/meatus cause pain when urinating?

I found this post from a different website that sounds very similar to my situation...

"Hi, I am 19 years old and I have had unprotected sex (very stupid) with multiple partners including anal sex. I always ask about STD's and such before I have sex with a girl and I have never had any issues until about 3 weeks ago. I had just finished masturbating and I noticed a small bump on the left side of my urethral meatus. When i noticed it, it wasn't causing me any issues at all. It wasn't painful and it was not discharging on it's own or anything. Because I saw it there, I started messing with it and I even tried to pop it because I thought it might be a pimple of some sort. When I squeezed the bump, clear-colored discharge came out that looked like pre-cum. Over the next few days, it started to sting a bit and then I had this weird tingling pain in my perineum (taint). I went to see the doctor and he told me I shouldn't worry about it at all because it didn't look like an STD. He put me on an antibiotic called Bactrim, just to be safe. Throughout the course of the antibiotics, I accidentally forgot to take the pill in the morning on three different occasions. When I finished the antibiotics, the small bump was still there so I went back to the doctor. He looked at it and again said it didn't look like anything but he did a complete STD test (urine and blood); all the tests came back negative. He gave me an ointment called Mupirocin 2% and prescribed another round of antibiotics. Right now I am using the ointment and still have about a week left on my antibiotics and there is really no sign of it going away. I was wondering if this could be something that is NOT an STD? Has anyone else had the same experience? If this still does not go away after I am done with the second round of antibiotics, should I go back to the doctor or should I just wait it out and see if it goes away on its own? I also wonder if I caused it by messing with it and maybe it is just a fungus or something?"

I also messed around with it and had a similar clearish-precum type fluid come out. Does this sound like herpes?

Yo, sooo I am part of another forum that has the same issue. Unfortunately none of us have found a cure. It usually gets triggered when I receive aggressive oral, last anywhere from a few weeks to months. I get pea size lump on the left side of meatus, sometimes the right swells up. It burns when I pee and ejaculate, also noticed that my sphincter burns a bit too. No stds, tried every antibiotic, every anti fungal, have seen urologist and had a camera shoved up there, prostate and bladder are healthy, seen dermatologists. Tried switching my diet, the last attempt is going to do a full body cleanse and fasting, as well as trying to talk to a world renown urologist hopefully at end of month. The closest thing that I have found in symptoms is a paraurethral duct infection but that is usually caused by a gonorea. Got an ultrasound and still nothing comes up. Best of luck will post more about my upcoming visit with urologist. Keep me updated. Also, do you vape at all? Second any injury to penis or scrotum or anus?
When you have the exams, are you having symptoms?

Have you tried eliminating caffeine?

There is something called Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), which is also called chronic prostatitis. There is evidence now that CPPS isn't caused by the prostate in all patients, but might have something to do with the pelvic floor.
