pain during urination after ejaculation

I've found that drinking cranberry juice, taking frequent showers, and waiting to urinate after ejaculation help. For years I would always soon after urinate after ejaculating, I think this trained my body to associate the two.

Yeah, this is unpleasant, though I'm glad to hear it's not unusual. I seem to be able to avoid it by not urinating for an hour after ejaculation. When it does hit it seems to help to immerse my penis in a glass of warm water and urinate into the glass. Sounds weird, but if you've had this you know that you'd go to some length to get over it more quickly.

Well well, that damn feeling went away after reading all the posts in this topic. Thanks a lot all of you; I am not concerned now that this is some disorder of any kind.

After reading all the posts, I conclude that
1) The sensation of burning, stinging or irritation after ejaculation anywhere in the urethera is normal and goes away on its own in around 20-30 minutes.
2) The reason may be left out semen or exhaustion of urethera. The phenomenon is occasional and doesn't have much to do with alcohol intake or an infectious partener etc.
3) The remedies are several and depends on the individual. Some of them are: pooping, taking a shower, drinking a juice, be turned on again. But I personally feel, diverting the attention really helps.

Good luck guys. No gain without pain :) We'll have to live with it.

After masturbation, it feels like a burning sensation. It’s more like an experiencing an endless piss sensation; which makes sense to the men experiencing the feeling of this sh*t. I feel a similar sensation if I j/o, and don’t piss before I go to sleep. There is a certain magic to ‘cleaning the pipes’ after rubbing one off that brings comfort later in the evening.

Yes this just happened to me a few miutes ago.Mostly gone now. I'm 50 and single. This has happened to me infrequentlysince i was in my teens. Hardly ever drink alcohol. but tons of timmies .but yes after You pee a few times it's all good. I sure don't let it deter me from masterbating.Hey anyone who says they haven't masterbated is a liar. It's only natural if single. And yes I've been to urologist even had cytoscopie where the scope Your bladder and ureatra. all normal. So feel releaved. But if it continues it should be evauated by doctor. But if it's only for brief periods after ejaculation. Hey no worries EH!

Good to hear this is normal and not an infection or anything. I'm 22 and this has happened to me occasionally for many years.

For me the best way to avoid it is to not masturbate with a full bladder. If I forget this or underestimate how full my bladder is, the fastest way to get rid of the burning is to do absolutely nothing - especially dont try to pee even if it feels like you need to go. Try to watch some tv or listen to music and not think about it. For me it goes away within 20 minutes, but peeing or masturbating or anything like that will make it last longer.

Happening to me for years, though a friend mentioned he'd experienced a similar thing.

I've tried to isolate it as best I can:

If you've got a semifull bladder before ejaculation, you're likely a gonner.

Need to try to ensure a "full ejaculation" if possible - seems to happen much more often after masturbating, rather than after sex.

Helps if the penis is facing down after ejaculation - i often place it over underwear to ensure it hangs down. Baths make it worse because your penis floats up.

If you can hold and not submit to urinating, it often goes away quicker.

Always seems to happen late at night, rather than during the day.

Worst case, get a good book, sit on the toilet, and wait for it to go.

for me, it always happens late at night as opposed to during the day.

I haven't tried to hold it because i believe in the "clear the pipes", especially if left-over semen causes discomfort, and i haven't ever tried to hold my urine, usually once i feel the sensation going on, i grab my laptop, and pop a squat on the toilet (as i am doing now) and wait it out.

happends to me everytime i drink alot of booze best thing for me seems to be.. drink as much water as possible it seems to flush out or if you can deal with the pain wait it out seems it never lasts more than 45 mins for anyone

This sounds like a problem i used to have. I would get this feeling after masturbating, it would start as a kind of shiver and cold sweat all over my body and then turn into a horrible burning sensation inside my penis, It would last between 45 minutes and an hour and a half (maybe more sometimes)

I finally figured out what it was a few years ago, it only ever happened when i would masturbate shortly after or before urinating. When semen comes in contact with water or urine it becomes thick and sticky, this causes it to become stuck in the urethra, which gives a burning like sensation, so the next time your masturbating make sure you didn't urinate just before it. and give it at least 30 minutes before you do urinate afterwards.

And just in case it still happens, heres a handy trick. If you run very warm water (not too hot obviously) over your penis for about 5 - 10 minutes it will relieve the pain, and it will go away faster. Strange i know, but it used to work for me.

I really hope this helps, as i quite literally, know your pain all too well. Good luck

I've had this happen for a long time, recently it's EVERYTIME i drink and masturbate. It rarely happens otherwise, now it's constant, as I've been drinking alcohol more often.

It's pretty damn annoying. I usually just end up sitting on the toilet for an hour using the piss muscles, it doesn't hurt as long as I'm doing that, just make sure you have something to do, unless you are drunk, in which case staring at the wall should do!

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone with this either. I'm 38 and I've had this on and off for abt 10 years. I've noticed this burning sensation is stronger after a masturbation than after a normal sex ejaculation. The more often the masturbations, the stronger the pain. Also, if I pee before sex/masturbation there's less pain and if I hold a longer time before peeing, there's less pain as well. The pain lasts abt half an hour. With alcohol there's considerably more pain, as the bladder gets fuller.

I suffer from the same symptoms as the original poster claimed. However, even when I'm not drinking it also tends to happen more often after I have gone to the gym the same day I ejaculate. I found that ice rather than warm water helps mitigate the symptom. I agree with the notion that it may have to do with semen left in the urethra or some sort of prostate issue, perhaps a combination of both. All I know is that I sure hope I don't have to deal with this into my 30's and 40's. With all the modern medicine and treatments, how has this issue not been resolved yet...dying for a solution.

i find that taking azo helps me. its common urinary analgesic. not sure what the side effects are fi you take it too often though. it turns your pee bright orange, but that's normal.

Right, my fellow pain after ejaculation brethren! Here are my 24 male thoughts on the matter... (why is everyone 23? is that the age at which you can't bear it any longer?) I've had this since I was 14. And in 10 years (and a full investigation, antibiotics and cystoscopy later) I've discovered 3 things: 1. It's far more common than you think. 2. Not a single doctor in the world has a clue what it is. We're on our own. 3. It's not going away any time soon. For me it happens without fail every single time after alcohol and very very rarely at any other. Although i used to happen before I started drinking alcohol when I was younger. At that time it only happened when I was away at school so I was convinced it was something in the water. Only later did I think that it was more likely down to being stressed, as I switched to bottled water and canned drinks. It's not an std as it happened way before I was sexually active. It's not an infection as antibiotics failed to cure it. Do you know what I REALLY think it is? I think it is some sort of cramp in the urethra or the muscle that closes the bladder or the kegel muscles. Think about the symptoms. It is relieved by peeing (relaxing those muscles). pooing (a muscular thing) helps. It lasts only 30 mins. There is definitely a pyschological element to it. The more you focus on it the longer it lasts. If you can distract yourself with something it goes quicker. I know it feels like some kind of acidic chemical thing but how many acids/chemicals can be made to disappear by forcing your mind to think about something else? I'm sure it goes as the muscle gradually relaxes. The semen is flushed out in the first pee so it can't be that. I have also very occasionally triggered it when kind of squeezing to hard but in the wrong way when pooing. I'm sure it's a cramp. I'm not suggesting it's purely pyschological tho. It's a horrific burning pain which at times can confine you to reading a book on the loo at times for up to an hour sometimes at 2 in the morning when you're dieing to go to sleep. And what a horribile decision to make between awesome drunken sex with your girlfriend after a night out or freedom from sweat inducing pain which is enough to wake you up from sleep. What I can't believe tho is the gigantic hole there is in established medical science. I cannot tell you the number of people who I've mentioned it to who report a similar thing. Why do doctors have no idea what it is? And worse off, why have they never heard of it and just go ahead and prescribe useless antibiotics? Much more research needs to be done.
