The answer

Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose or treat over the internet. It is possible that getting poop (dookie, feces) on your penis can result in a urinary tract infection or some other disease. If you are experiencing any uncomfortable symptoms such as pain while urinating, redness, pain, or discomfort, please contact your doctor as soon as possible to get checked out.
