Hi,
My issue started probably a month and change ago after a fairly extensive session of unprotected sex with a woman. After an hour or two I experienced a bit of a sharp pain after a thrust, but thought nothing of it and moved on. Since then my urethra has been relatively tender, which is noticeable by palpitation from the head of the penis down through the scrotum. It wasn't anything terrible (and has sense gotten somewhat better, though it is still present, especially after ejaculation) so I haven't sought any medical attention yet, assuming it was a UTI or some sort of overuse related issue, but, though the tenderness has lessened it is still there and drinking water/cranberry juice hasn't helped so I wanted to check in and get a professional opinion.
Prior to the offending incident I had only had unprotected sex with my ex girlfriend of 5+ years so I know I was clean, and though I honestly don't know for sure, I don't think the woman in this case had an STD either (she is very cautious). I am more than willing to get tested just to be safe, but I am curious if there are any other possible explanations. I have not experienced any discharge or obvious signs of infection outside of tenderness, though I think the texture of my ejaculate has changed to being a little more lumpy (which could also be related to diet or a sharp increase in sexual activity perhaps?).
Thank you for weighing in. I tried to be as thorough in history/symptoms as possible but will happily respond if more information is necessary.
