I have this same problem, but mine only burns when it is YELLOW urine, I believe that we all have an open wound in our penises and that the salt in our urine hurts it, I'm going to try not urinating for 24hrs to see if it can heal.
I examined myself and noticed that deeper in it is redder and thats where it hurts, wish me luck.

I had unprotected sex 6 weeks ago. 5 days later I had annoying itch and a little redness at tip of my penis. Went for std check up. 5 days later ball ache started, like being flicked in left testicle. Picked up results, negative, told clinic I had ball pain, refused to examine, they said you are clear of std must be something else, see gp. Go to gp next day, tells me epididimytis, gives me 7 day course of trimethoprim, sends general urine analysis off. Back to docs 8 days later, swelling going but pain still there and a tearing feeling in my stomach a four inches above pubic area. Tells me urine sample clear, there's no infection so won't give anything else. arranges an ultrasound of testes after nagging him, he also says I'm worried about the one night stand ( I am not a hypocondriac this is bloody hurting me). Scan shows nothing bar a few varicisoles. In meantime had aniother std test (4 days after finishing the trimethoprim). Two weeks after that get results all clear.They refused to treat me, basically treating me like I was a nut job, and packing me on my way. Amazing how the consultant was so skilled he can diagnose me to be clear without even examining me. I am now left with constant saddle soreness in my perinium which sometimes radiates through my testes, a constant feeling I need a Number 2, my left testicle aches on and off, more so if I ejaculate(feels like it isn't emptying) and aches for a long time after. My semen is also now lumpy(jello bits) and has a definated yellow tint. I am urinating constantly, which when finished, the pain starts in my stomach - I cannot definately describe it as buring, more like a tearing pain which radiates through my lower stomach into my scrotum, my bell end feels achey(is that the word).
Sorry its such a long post, but if this is anxiety, which I am getting due to noone helping, its bloody amazing what the mind can do. the pain is driving me to the brink, its an awful sickening feeling and I have had it for over a month, I cannot coope with it much longer. Please advise. Thank you

Hello my dear friends,
I know the hell you are all going through, having pain and not knowing what it is....I've been through it too 2 times in my life.
Anyway I have a solution...
Just lately I had Chlamidia and after a week of antibiotics it was gone (had a test to confirm it) but I still felt something not right... I still felt some burning and wondered if I still had some other STD...so had many tests done but nothing was found...
Stressed out for a couple of weeks (with almost constant pain on my penis tip) when I finally came to the conclusion that it was my stupid brain making the pain, beacuse all the times I was busy doing something the pain would disappear, instead as soon as I started thinking about my penis "problem" the pain would come straight back...!
It' amazing how much power&control the brain has over our bodies.
7 years ago I struggled for a whole year when I thought I had something wrong with my penis (it sometimes was painful and swelled a bit)...had all kinds of tests done, also a painful biopsy and all they found was that I did have something, but they did not know what caused it...with nothing else left to do, I accepted my condition, and after a few months I didn't think about it anymore and the pain dissapeared too...yes, indeed, it was my stupid brain causing the pain/swelling.
Therefore, when tests come out saying you have NOTHING, it usually means you have NOTHING! It means it's your brain making up the pain!
So, for all you guys that have come back negative to all the tests but still are in pain, it's definetly in your head, stress or so.
Now, the best thing is to do is STOP TAKING MEDICINES, it will just remind you that you are "sick" (when you are not instead!). Taking meaningless medicines will just keep the stress levels high and your problem will persist.
So, my advice, TRY AND FORGET ABOUT YOUR PENIS PROBLEM, CONVINCE YOURSELF YOU DON'T HAVE IT (which is actually the truth by the way!!), keep busy and JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT IT please!!!!
IT HAS WORKED FOR ME AND IT WILL WORK FOR YOU!!
Best of luck my dear friends!
:-)

Look guys. If you think back a little bit you will realize that yu had this problem when you were young--BEFORE your days of sexual activity. Now Im not saying dont worry about a STD. If you have had sex before its not a bad idea to go ahead and get checked out. If you have not ever had sex then you need to do a couple of things:
1. Do not hold it. If you gotta go, then GO.
2. When you go, GO! Dont get in a rush and stop peeing-dont cut it off.
3. Use a little toilet paper and wip it off when ou are done.
4. DRINK MORE WATER--LOTS MORE you should have atleast 64 oz. water per day. Some people find it annoying, but you should have to pee (without pain or burning) every 15 to 25 min. Dehydration is really common. but if you get thirsty--Its already too late.

I hope this info helps someone..

I have had the burning since I was a child as well. Definitely not an STD or UTI. As far as I can tell doctors don’t take this problem seriously in men for some reason. If id doesn’t show up on an std or uti test they basically tell you its in your head.

It started to get much worse in my teens when I started to become sexually active and drink alcohol. Just for the record I am STD free. From the research that I have been able to piece together over the years it may stem from what I would call an irritable urethra (although medical science seems to deny the existence in men). My attacks (I call them attacks because it feels like my penis is being attacked from the inside by killer bees) were much more frequent after sex and especially after alcohol and sex. The pain would last for hours. I only figured this out through trial and error and self observation.

My attacks are totally related to the food and drinks that I consume, brought on by spicy foods and especially alcohol. I have almost completely cut out alcohol and spicy foods. My attacks are much more infrequent and much less painful than before.

I would suggest keeping a journal of everything you eat and drink, when you have the pain, and how severe the pain is. You may be able to draw a correlation with he right data.

Good luck.

Could it be HPV? My girlfriend was diagnosed on a pap smear before we met. She convinced me that 50% of all females have HPV, yet since I starting having sex with her my penis head has a burning\itchy feeling inside. I had a STD test and it came out negative.

I have the same problem!
thought it was a UTI for sure but they did a urine sample test and found nothing,cranberry juice helps a great deal as does drinking plenty of water.
It was bad a few months ago but seems to be getting milder these days,also was told it could have something to do with exercising,I notice when I lift weights sometimes the tip of my penis starts to burn

I have been for xray and ultrasound, no stones so it must have been infection. Its hard to get rid of them sometimes, they come back, lie dormant and then come back mildly then flare up. These things are a bloody pain. However I found something out today which may give instant relief for your burning painful penis.



I have similar... was bad in Kidney and tubes and burning pain in penis and wanting to pee a lot, hardly any coming out. I was on antibiotics which helped then it came back. Heres by tip for the burning penis.



I have been suffering when I pee, hurts like being stabbed in the penis at the tip. This pain lasts after having peed so was making me rather manic and depressed. It got really bad today almost agony. I looked around and saw my neosporin. Have once had a similar burny penis thing as I child I remmeber being given chloramycitin cream which was literally tube up the japs-eye and squirt it in. Very quick relief. Remembering this I thought I wonder if the inflamation or whatever it is would be helped or calmed by using neosporin.



I looked up "neosporin penis" online as a google search and found referneces to people having used it, so thought I would give it a try. Firstly to be totally safe I put some on the end of my penis and left it there to make sure it didnt start "melting" my penis, so I could get it off quickly, you know what I mean! It was fine, not even any feeling it was there, its just oily thats all. So I spread it all over my penis and left that for a while. Again, no irritation or soreness, so I felt confident to continue to this next step.



I got myself a cotton bud and now inserted the tip of the neosporin into the end of my penis and squeezed some in there. I removed the neosporin tube and now worked the close tip of my penis to force the cream down into the penis. NOTE NONE OF THIS TAGE IS PAINFUL.



To confirm I was getting it in there i then used a cotton bud and very gently pushed it in and worked it around a little. NOTE: THIS WAS VERY VERY PAINFUL but bearable. One more little squit and a bit more rubbing to get it to go down and I sat back and waited.



Gues what. 10 minutes later... all the pain had gone, and its still gone. The neosporin provided instant relief to this pain.



Whilst I cannot give you any advice to say "go do this" because i am not a doctor I would 100% say it worked for me and I am siting here now with a big smile on my face and able to type this because I am not going mad. I know your pain... its not funny is it.



I was advised with urinary infections, always drink lots of water because it keeps the channels clean so infections dont hold on. Id love to hear if anyone has any good results with this.



I would also suggest drink pleanty then if you dont like the neosporin being in there for any reason youll have a full bladder and want to pee, so youll be pushing the neosporin out.



Seriously this was INSTANT relief... and ive been in agony peeing for a week now and had been to see the doc too. I think the last lot of antiobiotics may have stopped my stomach aching and inner tubes and balls aching when peeing but this is probably the infection in its final death throes and its gone to the end of the penis. Nuke it.



By the way I think its a good idea to clean up the tip of the neosporin before recapping the tube, because of where it has been ;-)



Hoping this works for you.



Oh yes, always test on your skin anything like this to see if you get pain or reactions. I used neosporin because of its antibacterial properties. Other things may work but test them on a small area of penis first. Leave them on to let them soak in before you decide if its safe for you. I wouldnt be tempted to use antiseptics such as TCP or Dettol as these are FAR TOO STRONG.

Hmmm, I think online info will tell you that she is probably wrong on that and may be saying 50% of all women to make you feel better.



HPV can give you warts or herpe like sores. However a lot of people naturally fight this off so sypmtoms dont appear. I readon Centre For Disease Control website that HPV clears itself out of your system in 2 years, so as long as you dont sleep around and recatch it and you get any sores and warts treated as they are VERY contagious and can cause transmission of the disease again... then you should both settle down and clear the virus in 2 years. Or atleast thats the way I read it. For people with recurring cases there are drugs to helpo the immune system deal with it but they may have side effects as they are made from human blood and can introduce nasties into your system (they say they screen as best they can so this wont happen but hey, doesnt sound like a guarantee of no worries of use of these drugs such as Antiferon N, I think it was).

Wow, I can't believe I stumbled on this site. I hv bn hvg problems with burning, itching genitals & ab pain for the last 23yrs. My dh & I finally found a docs in NYC & DC to help us. For one thing, the symptoms u are hvg are not in your head...they are REAL! I sympathize & have compassion for ALL of you. It got worse and worse over the yrs, then moved up into my abdominal area...pain. We ended up having major infertility issues when we want to start trying to have children.

We finally found Dr. Attila Toth, NYC via miracle from God & he did a cervical swab/uterine biopsy on me & urethral swab/semen culture on my dh & found that we had 7 pathogens between the both of us causing the problems. He tested for CT, Gonno, Trich, Mycoplasm, Yeast, Aerobes & Anaeorbes. My dh had a prostate ultrasound and DT found lots of scar tissue. He is so compassionate, caring, personable and highly skilled doctor. Very much thinks "out of the box". He specializes in pathology & does do phone consults. Will respond to personal emails quickly. He is out of network, but with a referral on an Rx slip frm my PCP, my ins pd in-network. It sure was worth the time & drive. We made a vacation out of the trip to NYC. :-)

We ended up hvg to go thru a 10 day IV out to NYC & 2mos of oral abx. Then 2 more rounds of abx. I have had NO symptoms since Aug'07!! :-) Dr. Toth's lab uses a different method of detecting bacteria & longer/stronger abx trmt. He also holds the cultures longer to grow slower bacteria. For CT & Gonno it's best to use "Direct Immunoflourescent Antibody" testing method. Many of the other ones produce false negatives...we had many of those over the yrs.

Also, urine samples are worthless when ckg STDs. Your partner nds to be treated too...anytime u take abx for an STD, STI or UTI they should take the same abx, otherwise u end up passing it back & forth. Oral sex even transfers it....so if you hv many partners, always use condoms, wash hands bfr touching, and no oral sex...sorry. Many people were saying that they started having symtoms before they started having intex. Well I am sorry to tell u this, but STDs & STIs CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO YOU FROM YOUR PARENTS as well as your partners parents. I have personally met couples that have CT & were virgins when they got married.

Also, the testing methods for UTIs on me were very poor when I continued to hv problems & tests came back neg. Docs thought I was a leunatic when I continued to complain of urethral & ab pain. Some docs only did a "urine analysis". I always had to request tht they do a "urine culture", bcos sometimes bacteria would show up there on not on the UA. Docs won't treat if the bacteria is under a certain number as well, but the bacteria are still there. Many people are senstive to lower amounts of bacteria and tht was me, so we need to still get treated with abx. Get copies of all of your lab & test results!

If your urine culture comes back negative then step up to a higher rate of bacteria detection by doing a "broth culture" on your urine & semen at "United Medical Laboratores" in VA at www.unitedmedicallab.com. Just get a sterile container frm your doc's office then overngt it. Order form is on the website & hv your doc sign it. Remember your partner should always take the meds too.

Apple Cidar Vinegar 3 tbsp 3x/day is a great way to reduce the burning but does not remove the cause. You can dilute this with water or drink straight like a shot. Wow, what a pain reliever! This causes your urine to become more alkaline and less acidic. Try to eat foods tht are more alkaline...do a search on the internet for tht.

Ruth Kriz is a great specialist with Interstitial Cystitis tht I hv bn working with....burning, pain in bladder, urethra etc. She has some great personal stories of success online & filled with knowledge on healing & wht to test for. She does phone consults & will treat u long distance. She can also help with the STDs & STIs as well. She has been wonderful! I received a referral on a a Rx slip frm my PCP & my ins pays her in-network.

Majestic, I found your post very interesting. I don't believe I have the ability to travel that far, so I was wondering if there was any other advice for me. I live in souther California. I had an encounter with an internet girl and had immediate burning in my penis. My STD tests were all negative. The bacteria idea is making a great deal of sense. Anything I could tell my doctor to help guide him towards my problem?

dc87,
You could ask your PCP to order the tests to be done at MacLeod Lab & mb Dr. Toth could treat u remotely. Ask your doc to call DT & see if he can order the following tests to be done at his lab:
mycoplasma, Chlamydia Trachomatis, aerobes, anaerobes, yeast, Trichomonads. You can also do a phone consult with DT to see what he thinks & what othe options u have. The website is www.fertilitysolution.com for phone, email & address info. Good book online there too. DT will have to send your doc special kits for the tests. Even though your STD tests are neg they could still be pos. The bugs will go into dormant phases and also hide out in the body. Many testg methods produce false neg. I gave u Ruth Kriz contact info and she also does phone consults. Give her a call.

I have experienced the same symptoms as others have described, with the traditional "STD tests" yielding negative results, and the doctors interpreting those tests to mean that no STD is present. It is quite possible that there are bacteria or a strain thereof which the traditional Gonnorrea/Clamydia tests do not detect. Natural selection alone dictates that such a bacteria would be more likely to survive as it goes relatively undetected by modern tests, and then maybe spread by persons who are told they are "disease free" simply because Gonn/Clamyd tests show negative. I personally have had to acquire antibiotics designed to target these STD's by refusing the tests and demanding diagnosis on the symptoms - and I might note that the symptoms fully resolved afterward. What is necessary is a medical research and medical practice community no so blinded by hubris and the narrow STD pathologies to admit that there maybe something else out there, or that the tests may be failing.

I have had this problem for about 3 years when i was 15. I thought i had an std from toliets etc. I have never had sex, and the burning pain ONLY happends after i have ejackulated and gone to the toliet to urinate then just befor i finnsih urinating i feel this burning feeling and pain in my groined, then evey 5 min i feel like i need to go to the toliet evey time i go only a little bit of unrine comes out its the same emont of pain and i feel this pain for about 1hr then it goes away. Am i the only onw that just feels this pain once ejackulated?

Nerve, that sounds exactly like my situation. After the burning comes I get a piercing urge to urinate frequently. This lasts about an hour like you say. I'm sitting here rocking back and forth in pain right now actually. Remembering to hold urination until after ejaculation seems to prevent it though. I just slipped up and got the steps reversed this time.
