Response from Men's Sexual Health:

It sounds as if the red tip to your penis might be some slight inflammation. This could be from a number of causes, but probably not from your partner's time of the month. Her secretions change a bit during the monthly cycle, but unless she was unusually dry during sex they wouldn't cause your inflammation. Passing only a small amount of urine just afterwards probably reflects the fact that it is red and inflamed rather than there being anything wrong with your urine. 

If you have been together for some time and neither of you has had another partner, it probably isn't necessary to have a check for STIs, but on the other hand the inflammation might be due to conditions like thrush or bacterial vaginosis which are not normally sexually acquired, so it is still worth you both getting a check if the problem persists.

A little lubricant during sex may help for the future.
