WebMd is a good place to check things out.

Also after talking with a health nutritionist/midwife they suggested drinking a large amount of water to flush the infection out. This helped... a ton.
Also, I find drinking a lot of liquids helps alot, the best thing to do whilst you feel the sharp, burning pain is to sit down and do something to take your mind of it, Do not pee, even if it feels like you're bursting. Also if you tense your penis because of the sensation, it does make it more painful, so just relax your penis and allow the pain to subside, roughly 20 minutes for me.
The best thing to do when it happens is dont let your self pee little bits after the first passing. Drink as much water as you can and dont let your self pee for as long as you can untill you have a full blader. Then when I pee this second time the pain goes...
I really want rid of this though? anyone have any luck of suggestions? I've been wondering about excess calcium in the body which can cause crystals in the urine and blader. Does anyone know more about this?
When I joined the military I had a urine test and the Doc said I had to much salt in it, and it was kinda white then too.
I don't think it will be fixed by antibiotics but you never know. It's a odd one, doesn't hurt me though, but it can be very white at times and seems to happen less when I drink lots of fluids.
I've had this problem ever since puberty as well & it has always freaked me out! it does seem to happen only after I have masturbated & i cant nail down every specific time that it has happened but oddly enough im researching this for the first time since it literally just happened again for the first time in a very very long time (months maybe a year) & guess what I was doing all day yesterday... partying at a major pool party! I think this chlorine thing is worth looking into...
Obviously we all know how ridiculously painful and utterly annoying this problem is but I must say... I find a little salvation & faith in knowing that im not the only one who this happens to! FREE OUR PEE!!!
!Thank you to the brave person who posted this topic. I hope I have good news.
I have had this problem since I was a teenager. I am now 39, married with two healthy children and a happy healthy partner. I have however suffered terribly with this affliction for nearly 25 years. I have been to doctors, naturopaths, tried diets, Multiple HIV tests (I don't have HIV) and STD tests. Even analysis of my (obviously abnormal) WHITE urine yealded no specific result. For a long time I was at a loss. It cost me years of anxiety and some failed relationships before I found what the cure was. (yes, there is a cure.)
My experience is this is a actually candida (yeast infection) caused by a lack of Vitamin C, and Zinc. If you drink plenty of water, and EVERY DAY take a combined zinc, and vit C powder this problem will go away. Take POWDERED vit c 1000mg with zinc, available over the counter from almost anywhere that sells vitamins. (no, i don't sell it)
Some notes on this problem:
If you have this problem then your body is not good at absorbing/digesting vitamines. You must keep taking the suppliments to keep the problem away.
You must quit smoking. This problem is made much worse by even one cigarette or dope smoking. You will never be cured if you smoke. (smoking drains the body of vitamins and f*cks up your imune system - STOP SMOKING)
Don't drink too much alchohol. Especially yeasty drinks like BEER. (especially before or after sex - sorry!)
Don't eat too much sugar or cheese (yeasts LOVE cheese)
EAT yogurt. Yogurt is very important to reduce the candida living in your gut. It contains good bacteria that combat yeast. Only eat REAL, sour, natural yogart, not the lolly sugar flavoured c**p.
Don't eat too much junk food within 3 days of having sex/ejaculating. If you want to have this problem real bad then just have a macdonalds meal after having sex. - 2-3 days later - lots of white pee and pain.
If you masturbate or have oral sex, ensure that saliva does not enter your penis. i.e don't spit on your penis and then wank. (Candida lives in your mouth too and will multiply when it gets to your prostate.)
If you masturbate or have sex, do it in a dry environment - not the shower or pool.
Don't have unprotected anal sex. (candida funguses live in and around the bowel)
Don't have unprotected vaginal sex with a partner with thrush. (but if your partner has thrush get them to take vit c too and get it treated). Use a condom.
Note that this problem is contagious. If you have unprotected sex you will spread a temporary candida yeast infection to your partner's vagina. However, once you have built up your imune system and (vit c and zinc) then you may find that this no longer happens and you will be able to have normal unprotected sex (with your safe, regular HIV tested partner/wife of course). Naturally be sure you don't actually have an STD first.
If your doctor suggests antibiotics he/she may risk killing you with an overdose or allergic reaction (as was nearly my case). Antibiotics are good to cure many STDs, but they wont cure this as it is fungal, not baterial (in my experience). Antibiotics will make the fungal infection WORSE as they kill the good bacteria that keep the candida fungus in check. If your doctor suggests antibiotics, first ask him/her to identify the strain of STD or bacteria you have! To take antibiotics without identifying the bacteria through clinical tests first is experimental and dangerous.
Other symptoms that may indicate Candida Yeast infection due to lack of vitamin C and zinc.
1) Dandruff (this will go away too when you up your vit c & zinc).
2) Bleeding gums when cleaning your teeth.
3) Bad digestion. Bloating, gas.
4) Your partner gets thrush after having sex with you.
5) A red itchy anus area (if extreme)
6) Jock itch - fungal infecton around the groin.
7) You get a sore throat and grumpy 1 to 3 days after sex. You get colds and flu easily and have trouble shaking off illness.
I hope this helps. I welcome any comments or feedback.
Sorry but this post is for men. I make no reference to the women who have posted here with various urinary problems (which are well documented elsewhere).

I found it happens ONLY when I don't drink enough water.
For example today, I had my cup of milk for breakfast at 10, but then forgot to drink: at 3 o'clock, white painful piss. It was not that bad, I've suffered worse.
I drank, and now at 6 o'clock it hurt much less than before.
The worst I had ever was when I hadn't drank enough during all day and had quite an active day. There was sand and I was in pain for like 5 minutes.
So my advice is: make sure that you are drinking water (not drinks) thourough the day. When you head out you should take a 1 liter bottle and have it finished when you get off work. This way with breakfast + dinner you should have reached the recommended minimum 1.5 liters of water a day.
