Sometimes if I urinate soon after ejaculation, I will feel pain in my urethra near the tip of the penis. Also, sometimes I will feel mild discomfort even before I have urinated. The burning pain during urination usually only lasts for about 30 minutes with mild discomfort lasting another 30 minutes or so. During this time, it feels like I can't empty my bladder and I end up visiting the bathroom many times, only urinating a little at a time. This only happens periodically and can happen after masturbation or intercourse. I have had this problem for several years now (even before I became sexually active). Since it only happens once in a while, I haven't mentioned it to a doctor, but I'd like to know what the problem is and if I can do anything about it. I plan on asking my doctor about this next time I go in for a checkup, but in the meantime I am hoping someone here can help me understand what is going on. Thanks.
I can say that I have been able to prevent it to some degree by avoiding masturbation/intercourse if I have had a lot of liquid recently and expect that I would need to urinate before I ejaculate. I'd say that this happens to me a few times a year, but when I wasn't more careful about watching my fluid intake, it happened at least once a month for probably 6 months.
I have no idea to how to prevent reoccurring, except abstinence!
I have had exactly the same symptoms as this after ejacution for about the last 10 years. I am now 37. Doesn't always happen, but is very uncomfortable when it does.
As with others here, when it occurs it is usually preceeded by alcohol consumption.
Does anyone have any further information about this?
It is not unusual for the male to experience some burning (dysuria) during urination following ejaculation. This is the result of friction developed along the urethra (the lining of the penis) during the act of sexual intercourse or masturbation. Urine moving along the urethra creates a burning sensation. It should not be considered a sign of any active disease or indicative of injury to the penis but rather a natural event. However, if burning persists in the absence of ejaculation or sexual contact, some type of infection may be present.
Might it be linked to the prostate?
Glad to hear it happens to others, but I hate this!
I drink cranberry juice if I get this burning sensation. Then I just wait until I have to urinate again, and the cranberry juice somehow helps sooth that little itch or burning feeling and things are all better.
