Ask the Doctor

Is this an infection?

I recently had an unprotected sex when I travelled for an official assignment. Now I noticed some itching in my penis. I don’t know if this is a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) since there is no abnormal discharge.

Sexually Transmitted Infections can present in different forms. Apart from abnormal urethral discharge, you can also present with itching or change in coloration of the skin on the head of the penis. Even though you don’t have any visible abnormal discharge, it will be advisable for you to see your doctor who will carry out detailed physical and laboratory examinations on you.
