pain during urination after ejaculation

Im 28 and have had this problem for about 5 years, I HAVE DONE A LOT OF TROUBLE SHOOTING.

For me It only happens after consuming alcohol(Even just one beer). I can drink a gallon of water and the symptoms will not occur. For me personally it is not related to excess fluid consumption, just alcohol.

Also for me, it only occurs after masturbation and will never occur after sex.

Hi, My Name is Jay (35) and been experiencing this condition for a number of years. As a business and system analyst i have tried to apply my skills to come up with potential solutions.

Firstly the most obvious clue is that this mostly occurs when masturbating and not during normal intercourse. To me the answer lies in the muscles and their functioning. We need to get the orgasm process correct to stop the symptoms from occurring.

I hope my tips help someone.

Tips to avoid (in no particular order)
1. Simulate pelvic motions especially when nearing ejaculations. I.e. we are trying to get the muscles and components working like it would when having normal sex.

2. Have a full ejaculation. Don’t hold back or try force it! I don’t get the symptoms if I feel the muscles contracting and relaxing correctly after ejaculation.

3. Don’t masturbate with a full bladder. I.e. this affects the functioning of the muscles.

4. What works extremely well for me, is masturbating in the morning ... i.e. have a morning pee and you are good to go

5. Another thing i have noticed is that when I masturbate standing up I almost never get the symptoms.

6. Afterwards ejaculation i lie on my back on not my side or stomach! Even better is walking around afterwards (probably drains better and the walking motion gets the muscles functioning normally again). The hardest thing is for you to not think about it. I.e. when we think about it we try control the situation with our minds instead of letting your body naturally handle it.

Post Symptom tips:

1. Try get an erection again and masturbate to a point (i dont ejaculate again) ... I.e. this resets everything and you feel almost instantly better.

2. Sit on the toilet. I use a cold, wet face towel. I squeeze out the excess water and then spin it around. For the science nerds this creates an endothermic reaction and makes the face cloth really cold. I then hold my balls with the cloth and the tip of the penis (stop cringing). What am trying to do is get everything to contract (i.e. the muscles). 10 min and i am golden again

3. Drink a lot of fluids afterwards and wait for that magical long pee. Most people will recommend cranberry juice

4. I see someone mentioned using hot water. I could see this working well to try increase the viscosity of the fluids inside you making it easier to expel. I will give it a try

I'm 21 yo
and usually have that pain in my penis after masturbation/sex
I've checked for more than one Physicians and i did required analysis
all of them r positive
and i don't know what is the cause of that pain and no Physician could find a solution for this issue
I'm sex active and that pain make me annoyed every time I've sex
hope medicine can discover a solution for this annoying prob :-(

i've read sevral blogs! I must say it happens after alchohol BUT ( and this is why i am posting this reply) many assume it is kiddney stones! Kiddney stone comes out by urinating at the "condition" of crystals! ( not visible ones ) kidney stone is caused by caffeine so cut down on coce and/or coffe, maybe there is the problem! You don't have to worry YET! But keep an eye out! ;-) thanks! :-D

i am also assuming it may be the cum that is left inside the urethra! it tends to dry out quickly! :-P maybe when urinating, you just "break" the small "wall" made by the cum! :-P just gesture XD

I dont think it has anything to do with acidic piss, cos I get the pain straight after alcohol induced sex without pissing afterwards.

Also had this issue for years!
I think it is more evident after drinking alcohol as your bladder muscles may be slightly weaker (urinary incontinence or over-active bladder syndrome), small amount of pre-ejaculatory fluid can mix with the urine, this then turns into a thicker mixture in the urethra. When you then ejaculate you start to feel the pain. This irritates the urethra and continues to last for 30-60 mins as it is either still irritated or a small amount of urine is seeping through.
To stop this pain within 5 mins I normally make a fist with my right hand and push hard on to my bladder (just above my pelvis) until the pain stops and do not urinate again for 2-3 hours.

Hope this helps others

This happens due to the uptake of a lot amount of liquid. The pain can be treated quickly if you drink concentrated salt water, or consume any salty thing that help slow down the urine production rate. Hope it helps : )

having the same problem recently. Semen has a ph level of around 8 so it's slightly acidic, plus urine is neutral aroun ph7 although this varies. If whats' causing the burning is acidic, then it would make sense to drink something alkaline, like cranberry or lemon juice, either before or after ejaculating. Havent tried this yet so cant confirm it works, just my 2 cents.

@Riza: ph 8 means alkaline not acidic, and lemon juice is acidic not alkaline. Anyway i dont think it works :)

I am 17 years old and have been experiencing this for probably about 3 years now, At first I was worried it might be an STD then I realised that it had been happening since before I was sexually active, Recently it has been happening to me a lot more frequently. I don't consume alcohol regularly and sometimes it can happen to me up to twice a week. I'm glad to read that this is common amongst males and that I'm not experiencing some kind of illness.

I GET THIS PROBLEM TOO, RANDOM TIMES AFTER EX OR MB AND ALCOHOL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I QUICKLY DRINK 5 PINTS OF WATER (OR AS MUCH AS I CAN), THEN PEE. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINS I GET SHIVERY BECAUSE OF ALL THE WATER, AT THIS POINT I PEE AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE. GLAD IT'S NOT ONLY ME, HOPE THIS HELPS

I get this problem as well. It gets very painful as if I have an infection, but none is present. I have a bulging disc and I was afraid that I was losing valve control from nerve impingement but i guess it's kind of relieving if there are so many guys having the same problem. Do any of you have lower back problems?

back probs could be related as a sort of chronic condition that could lead to the muscular spasm probs everyone is describing maybe. i have had back probs in the past. anyone else wiv back probs?

also, i found out something else interestin. if you fiddle with yourself jst casually without cummin for several hours with semi erection, when you finally go to pee u could end up in extreme pain. this seems to suggest a muscle problem. as several posts have already described, it really does feel like wot you'd expect to a acid burning cause - but urine is often acidic and wouldnt ever get acidic enuf to burn thru skin etc so couldnt possibly tht

Wow finally I am not the only one. so only when I have drinks more likely when I'm drunk and then ejaculate shortly after I feel a strong urge to urinate. This is then followed with a burning sensation like the inside of my urethra has expanded to much. I am no scientist but what I have Been able to assume is your urethra would be sensitive to the slitest formation of any solid and for some reason the combination of alcoholic urine and sperm harden just enough to expand causing that burning sensation which would explain why the only relief is the soothing feeling while urine is passing through. It pretty much happens for me every time which for me the only prevention ascot drink alot of water and urinate many times before sex/masturbation I think this dilutes the alcohol content. Well it sucks to be us let me know if any one finds a better method.
