I would like to ask a question here as it will be difficult to visit a GP.
It is not very good neither.
After 2 days of making love (with gaps), then 2 days later the bottom of my shaft was really sore and seemed swelled. There was nothing at all unusual with the sex and she was clean.
Now the swelling has gone down and there is no pain but a bit of a lump that remains...I hope that it will go.
Has anybody else suffered this? I know a trip to the docs is the answer but I am away from home right now and I do not think they will take me in E.R.
Thankyou

I did...
A friend of mine says it could just be a sist? as he had something similar under his t's.
The link below has a helpline that offers advice about sexual health so if you are unable to get to a doctors you could try them but make sure if the lump remains you definately go to a clinic or doctors.
the helpline number is in the section 'all about fpa' then contacting us. It is open mon-fri 9am to 6pm

E.R? Too many US shows for you young man! That's quite enough!
You could try ringing your GP to make an appointment and if the swelling is gone you can cancel the appointment. Do not be embarrassed to tell them anything at all, they've heard it 100s of times before and much worse besides!
As has already been said, much worse is seen daily and it's not as if doctors and nurses turn round and discuss it for hours afterwards, it's the job.
Don't mean to be bossy, but your health is too important to not bother. A quick doctor's appointment will show you that it's nothing, put your mind and ease and most importantly, ease the discomfort. Otherwise, you're going to have ongoing discomfort, a weight on your mind, and (god forbid) the risk of it being something serious. Someone already said, if it clears up before you're due to go in, you can cancel.
It does sound like a cyst, I've had one before, but it is very important you see a doctor. It could be cancer.
