irritated urethral opening (meatus)
So the end of my urethra/meatus/opening has been irritated on and off for over a year now..
its not very bad.. it seemed to start around the time my prostate issues started .. however, im not convinced its an infection or anything like that.
A few times around taht time, my urethra got stuck to my boxer shorts, then i moved and it sort of pulled/ripped on it, and caused the tissue to swell and become irritated.. I think its just sort of never properply healed since then.. granted its not very bad most of the time, just slightly red.. but sometimes, especially after mastrubation, sex, it gets a bit puffy/irritated.. Also I seem to rub it against my shorts from time to time, which makes it puff out and sort of pulls the inner part outwards a bit..
Any remedies for this? I was thinking of buying silk boxers to try and limit friction/irritation during the day.. but I would like to apply some type of oil to the tip from time to time to soothe/repair/reduce inflammation.. but needs to be something that wont cause any complications or anything obviously.
I wonder if coconut oil or a bit of castor oil would work?
