Why am I experiencing uti, thrush, or genital herpes?
Hi there. Regarding my sexual health, I am experiencing mild stinging of the penis with no visible sores. I’m currently applying clotrimazole for a fungal infection of the scrotum which has been present for around 10 days. 5 days ago I had protected sex with saliva contact on my penis. I’m unsure if I am dealing with a uti, thrush or genital herpes. Please advise, Thank you

The tingling feeling you’re noticing on your penis might mean the infection is still there or it could be caused by something else. There are similar symptoms for UTIs, thrush, and genital herpes. A UTI comes from bacteria, while thrush is a result of fungus and genital herpes is caused by a virus. To be certain about what’s going on, consider seeing a doctor. If you’re currently using clotrimazole for the fungal infection then continue doing so as directed. Another thing that might help is drinking plenty of water while staying away from any irritating products.
