A few weeks ago I had sex with my girlfriend of 3 1/2 years. About half an hour after, I started to experience a burning sensation in my urethra in my perineal area. I took some ibuprofen and a hot bath and the pain subsided after about an hour. We had sex again over the next few weeks with no more issues. However we had sex the other day and the same result. A mild burn in my urethra in the perineal area. I thought that it might be the fact that I drink a lot of soda (bad for you I know) so I have started drinking strictly water the past few days in hopes that it would go away. It hasn't. I went to the doctor and they said it was probably a UTI and so they prescribed me ciprofloxacin. I just started taking it today and the pain has been off and on for about five days. I have no other side effects other than a burning in my urethra. It doesn't hurt to urinate, no discharge, etc. Anyone have ideas of what it could be and any advice on how to ease the pain? (The doctor said I had a lot of leukacytes in my urine. Don't really know what that means)

Hi Just,
Leukocytes are white blood cells. Their presence indicates an infection.
Your infection can cause pain/burning. Give the antibiotic a few days to begin working. Cipro is a commonly prescribed medication for a urinary tract infection.
Hope it helps.
