Dear sir
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
It seems you sustained injury to the urethra and urethral opening.
Your symptoms are secondary to the injury. You can apply any emollient to the urethral opening for a week or so and your symptoms shall subside.
Nothing much to worry and stay reassured.
Take care
Sincerely
Rajiv Goel

Dear Dr. Goel,
Thank you very much for your response. To clarify, the pain feels deep inside, where no emollient can reach. Is this still what you are talking about?
Will it heal on its own? How long will it take?
Also, is there any activity I should avoid? Can I exercise (bike riding)? And should I worry about having an erection (no direct activity, just an erection) until it is healed?
Thanks again.
Hello,
Any injury usually takes 2-3 weeks but the injury in urethra longer as the wound is not at rest; it is in contact with urine at all times.
Your symptoms shall take at least 2-3 more weeks to settle down.
You should drink plenty of water and can take cranberry juice to partially improve your symptoms. Bike riding or erections don't hamper the healing.
Take care
Sincerely
Rajiv Goel
