Penis - burning sensation mainly after ejaculation

Hoping someone can assist me on my issue here, at its becoming a bigger concern. I am a 27 year old male.

I had unprotected sex with a female around the beginning of June and shortly after I noticed a mild burning sensation when I  ejaculated. I knew this was likely to be some kind of STD as a result, (I had been diagnosed and treated for non-specific urethritus 2 years earlier) so proceeding to get an appointment with my GP.
He prescribed a 10 day course of Doxycycline 100mg capsules which I took as prescribed. I returned to the doctors as my symptoms persisted. I gave a urine sample (which was tested for such infections) and also the penis tip swab test which all came back

You guys this is really weird. My boyfriend has the EXACT same symptoms you all are describing. He has had his problem for years and the last time we had sex it was so painful it caused him to psychologically turn his sex drive completely off. ALMOST ONE YEAR LATER and a false HPV scare from Doctor's we are almost back to the point where we can have sex again. He says that is isn't as painful to ejaculate when we have sex slowly instead of hard and fast. I never thought about the zinc thing though. I will mention that to him. THANK YOU EVERYONE who came to this thread and shared the common ground. There should be more awareness about this stuff for you guys. How Scary it is to have symptoms like that and have no clue and find no answers from doctor's. Thank you again everybody.

Oh wow. I have had the same exact symptoms. I have looked all over the internet for answers. I am 15 years old. I've never had sexual intercourse, a hand job, ********, or any kind of sexual contact with anybody. To me, it seems like every time I pee after masturbation this occurs. It feels like the pee, or sperm get stuck in there. I feel like I have to pee so bad, then I try going and it's just a few drops. Sometimes it hurts so bad that I can almost fall on the floor if standing.

It occurs more often if I masturbate more than once a day for a few days in a row. If anyone finds anything new to this, PLEASE POST. THANKS!

Same here, I started noticing it a lot after a prostatis diagnosis, I was on Doxycycline for 2 weeks and Bactrim DS for 2 weeks.
Dox was worthless, Bactrim did help, while i was on it.

I've noticed that if I take a shower 20 minutes after ejaculations and let some warm water hit my penis, it helps alot or pretty much gets rid of the sensation. On other days when I don't want to take three showers ;)
I just drink a lot of water right after and **** about 2-4 times, the last one generally tends to be a trickle but ends up getting rid of the sensation for the most part (though it doesn't work as well as the shower).

Unfortunately I don't have health insurance and can't see a doctor or urologist, so I might just try and get a month's supply of bactrim DS through my contact again.

hey, if uv ruled out std and bacterial infection, the next likely cause would be that ur NOT EATING RIGHT. too much fast food (mcdonalds.. kebab, pizza takeaways.. or maybe a kebab pizza :p u see these make the environment in u more acidic.
iv had the symptom where to me after ejaculation im ok, but then if i carry on for a few seconds, its like iv ejaculated battery acid into my urethra,, and then in makes me feel queasy..
Drink lots of water, eat right, dont snack, exercise.
tbh i just got this advice myself, and i wont know how effective it would be until the next time. il tell u how it goes

I'm not crazy!
Since I started masturbating at 14 I've felt the same semi-excruciating pain at the tip and along my penis after ejaculation on occasion.
Like most of you I can't pin point exactly when or why it happens. It seems like some two week periods it's a guarantee to be painful, and then I almost forget about it for a while.

It's a cruel sort of torture when aroused.

I'm now 17 and in a serious relationship with Arousal/handjob etc..,and would really like to avoid this with her. I've been lucky so far, but don't want to leave anything to chance.

Sitting on the toilet for 45 minutes is my only sure fire remedy.

I have this same symtom for years. It does not occur everytime after ejaculation but always seems to be there on the edge. Seems to happen more often after having a few alcoholic beverages. I agree that it must be a acidic content in sperm or urine. Lasts for a hour or so and I always visit the bathroom sveral times before it goes away. I am going to try the zinc and see how that works. Does anyone know of a suppliment or other that will reduce acid in urine or sperm.
