Bleeding from the Glans After Masturbation: Causes and Concerns - Urology

Bleeding from the glans after wiping with tissue following self-defense!


The last time I came in for an examination, you diagnosed me with balanitis and prescribed me a topical medication called Soothe.
It has improved, but I'm still not fully healed.
Could this be related to the fact that I had sexual intercourse with my girlfriend during this time? Yesterday, after I engaged in masturbation and wiped with tissue, I noticed a small amount of blood on the glans, along with tiny red spots.
What could this be? I'm really worried it might be something serious and untreatable! Additionally, I sometimes feel a slight pain when I have an erection.
The glans is still sensitive.
Is it possible that the balanitis hasn't fully resolved? Should I come back to see you?

More Info


Bleeding from the glans after masturbation can be concerning, and it's understandable that you're feeling anxious about it. There are several potential causes for this bleeding, and it's important to consider them carefully.

Firstly, the presence of blood on the glans (the head of the penis) could be due to irritation or injury. Masturbation, especially if done vigorously or without adequate lubrication, can lead to minor abrasions or tears in the sensitive skin of the glans. This could explain the small red spots you observed, which may be tiny blood vessels that have ruptured due to friction or pressure. If you have been experiencing discomfort or pain during erections, this could also indicate that the tissue is inflamed or irritated.

Another possibility is that the bleeding is related to the condition you mentioned previously, which was treated with a topical medication (舒膚樂). If the condition has not fully resolved, it could still be causing irritation or inflammation, leading to bleeding. Conditions such as balanitis (inflammation of the glans) or other dermatological issues can also cause similar symptoms. If you have a history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other genital conditions, these could also be contributing factors.

It's essential to monitor your symptoms closely. If the bleeding persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as severe pain, swelling, or discharge, you should seek medical attention promptly. A healthcare provider can perform a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause of the bleeding and recommend appropriate treatment.
In terms of sexual activity, if you have engaged in sexual intercourse while experiencing irritation or an unresolved condition, it could exacerbate the issue. It's advisable to avoid sexual activity until you have consulted with a healthcare professional to prevent further irritation or injury.

In summary, while minor bleeding from the glans after masturbation can often be attributed to irritation or minor injury, it is crucial to pay attention to your body and seek medical advice if you have any concerns. A healthcare provider can help you determine the cause of the bleeding and provide guidance on how to manage your symptoms effectively. Don't hesitate to return to your doctor, especially if you feel that your condition has not improved or if new symptoms have developed. Your health and peace of mind are important, and getting a professional opinion is the best course of action.
