Periodic tip of penis pain after ejaculation, burning

I am experiencing all of the symptoms described in this old thread fround in the STD forum.  It is not an STD, but no one knows that it is.  I can find no other mention of this problem on the internet, but it seems many have the same problem

"Hi, I have a very irritating problem. For the past 8 years, since I was a teenager, I've periodically had intense pain after ejaculation. This only happens once every 2 weeks or so, and I've had it from sex and masterbation.

This pain will happen anywhere from 5 min to 30 min after I ejaculate, and the pain will stop temporarily when I urinate, sometimes when I urinate it even feels good. This also causes me to feel like I constantly have to urinate. This pain always disappears after an hour or two, and never happens unless I ejaculate. I don't understand this at all because it only happens once in a while, and there is no common factor to relate it happening to sex and masterbation (as far as material objections like latex etc). It seems like there might be some slight swelling during this period of 1-2 hours also."

In my case, the pain has happened ever since I was a teenager a few times a week.  I actually only experienced it the last few years a handful of times, which almost made me forget about it, but now its happening every day with no change in my lifestyle/sexlife/diet. Anyone?

just to join in on the party, i get the exact same thing, and like everyone else, i have it right now, so i jumped online to try and figure out what causes it.

something interesting to note.. my girlfriend has been gone all summer long, and ive masturbated at least one a day the whole time she was gone (about 3 months). however, now that shes back, its been 3 days, and ive had it happen twice.

reading the comments about diet makes sense to me- now that shes back, ive been eating tons of junk food (cookies, chocolate, candy), and tonight i drank when we went out to a party. when she wasnt here, i was on a diet of basically no sugar, no alcohol, and was being rather healthy (and hydrated!)..

so i dont know, hopefully thats it. im going to make sure to keep hydrated and lay off the sweets- its probably better in general.

at least it only does last a half hour to an hour :)

hopefully someone can post a good resolution to this- it sucks

good luck

ok ok

What is it? inflamation (I bet).  Trick: ejaculate not as hard (probably not possible) or ejaculate in a "good" position


I just recently started getting this.  I used to "do the do" a few times a day.  I took a 6 day break, and when I started again I got the burning (for 20-30 mins).

- Ice pack helps.
- Try ejaculating with your **** not facing upwards.

I urinate immediately after the ejaculation, and then wait 30mins before going again, after the burning has subsided.


I don't think it has to do with hydration.  I've been on a high fiber diet lately and have been drinking tons of water.

I bet it has to do with inflamation.  Imagine yourself peeing really really hard (don't do it) and it burns.  That is most likely what is happening with the ejaculation.  The key here is when you ejaculate, it explodes out -- it doesn't come out nice and regular like peeing.

The "explosion" could be the reason.  Recall how I got this twice in a row after abstaining for 6 days, whereas when I went every  day, it almost never happened.

One thing I did notice however is that I've had some acid intigestion.


It has me thinking.  SO to avoid inflamation, how about we try:
1.  (Don't hurt yourself doing this).  Try peeing a little harder than usual, and move your **** around.  Make note of the positions that are easy to pee, and the positions that are restrictive.

When masterbating or having sex, try to ejaculate in those postions that had little resistance/felt good.


If its JUST towards the end of the **** that is sore after an ejaculation  then I don't think its a seamen infection. If it were, you would get burning in your balls, where the seamen is created.


Sorry  if I'm talking too much/

Basically, an ejaculation is an explosive force through a hose.  If that hose is straight, then the force speeds along the hose.

However, if there is a big curve or a kink, then the force of the ejaculation is absorbed by the hose and hence the inflamation.


Imagine a water hose that all of a sudden is turned on full blast: if that hose is straight, then the water goes straight through. Whereas, if that hose is twisted, then the hose jerks as  water goes through it.  I bet it is that "jerking" that causes the inflamation.

I get this too. Good to know I am not alone.
Its weird since its so sporadic, I second the acid indigestion, had it tonight and had the problem tonight, almost enough to double me over and make my eyes water.
someone does need to research this thoroughly.

Man oh man I'm glad to see these post. I was freaking out, about to go to the doctor, dreading the test where they shove a metal q-tip down your pee hole and twist it to get a sample. I've had it done twice and it was two of the most painful experienses of my life. Anyway.

I have the same thing sometimes. Ejaculation stings the tip and I feel like I have to pee constantly for about half an hour or so after ejaculation. It comes and goes and sometimes the tip will just burn or itch for no reason at all. I'll be sitting there doing whatever and all of the sudden "YOW" "What the F?!?!?" then it's gone. It's the same area that stings sometimes when I ejaculate. It can be from sex or m/b. I see no pattern or anything. I don't drink alcohol of any kind, no drugs, don't smoke, don't eat sugar, can't use dairy products, don't drink caffiene or have any fun at all. No wait I had to quit drinking because of alcoholism the smoking soon followed then the sugar. Quitting caffiene is a new thing. The thing is this burning after ejaculation has happened sporadicaly no matter what I ingest or abstain from. I'm going to cut back on the salt and see if that helps.

I'm just glad to find out I'm not alone. I was obsessing over this sure I had some strange STD. Wondering how I could break it to my girl. Wondering if my girl gave it to me an on and on and on.

It's funny how your mind can play tricks on you because this has been going on with me for some time now but more so lately. I know one thing obsessing over it makes it worse.

i get this too.  the same symptoms: stinging at the tip for a while, and peeing a lot/feeling like i have to pee a lot.  i'd always associated it with drinking, but that's probably a coincidence.  i'd like to mention that when it happened during sex and i wasn't wearing a condom, my girlfriend would say that my *** stings.  anyone else had this?  that would suggest that it is not an inflammation problem.  also, this whole feeling like you have to urinate thing is sort of mysterious.

same problem here too.

for me it started about 8 years ago, just random out of the blue, i hadn't had sex for a long time, maybe a year before it started happening so i never considered it to be a std.

it happens mostly after masturbating, not as much after sex, sometimes its accompanied by a burning sensation in my sphincter also :-o

of course it happened just now, thats why i found this thread, the acid thing might have something to it, i just drank a pint of cranberry juice..

it would be nice if someone can get us an answer.

I have this too. I have narrowed down that it happens after ejactulation when I've been drinking more liquid than normal - be water or alcohol. A bath really helps.

Same here! It only happens to me on my days off from work i tend to drink a lot of liquids, no alcohol, and when i pee close to ejactulation, with in 15mins before or after doesn't matter. The only thing that seems to work for me is to compress my package between my legs and destract my mind from it by doing some thing like this using my computer after about 15 to 30 mins of this it's like it never happen. I'm going to see if cutting my liquids on my days off will do anything. Or maybe i will just leave play time to work days.

"You figured it out just fine. It is bladder neck spasm which is how you prevent yourself from urination while ejaculating. It takes a spell to relax again. It is not a biggie."

I thought i had an STD guys, as u can guess by nickname i have the same trouble.......

So ive just knocked one out and now i get that familiar really need to pee but nothing comes out burning at the end of my **** sensation.

exactly what the **** is going on, maybe catholics would think this is punishment for shaking hands with myself. but probobly not.

i get this on my own or with a bird and the only connecting factor is that this happens after consuming alcohol in any volume, never at any other time, i'm sure u can imagine, this makes knobbing ugly lasses difficult for me :)

i dont know about you fella's but i have hypoglycaemia which alters what my body extracts from food/drink i consume.i have no idea how that could make my bell-end sting after squirting but would be interesting to know if anyone else who suffers ****-burn also has the same blood disorder.

anyways in the time its taken to read you guys comments and type this up my willy feels normal again so im goonna hit the sack and not play with me self :(

+1. Actually.. it went away.  A friend of mine have joked around about this and I told him he doesn't have an STD (necessarily) cuz i've been tested and it happens to me.  I told him taking a poo sometimes helps me... or maybe it just kills time... wait, that might explain my frequent hemroids... aannnyways, I first remember this happening when I was in like 7th grade.  I actually confronted my parents about it and they were concerned enough to take me to the doctors.  I had a urine test and then they came out, in front of my parents, and was like "The doctor says this is caused from something rubbing against it...::long awkward pause::... perhaps change your detergent, or material of your underwear..." And then I never spoke of it again.  I thought it just went along with masturbation.  

Do you guys take showers after or during?  I was thinking maybe water gets in there and solidifies any ammo that hasn't quite made it out making it like passing a stone... just a theory.

Im glad I found this post because I've had this problem once or twice before and couldnt find any reasonable explanation for it untill now. I decied to look it up because It just happened to me 20 mins ago and the pain was more intense than anytime before, and it happened just after a wet dream on wich you could say, the ejaculation was pretty intense so it all makes sense to me now. The thing is that for me, every time l have this problem, urinating hurts a lot so I abstain of doing it as long as I can but in the end it always hurts the first time I pee after this problem appears and I havent read anything about this particular "symptom" so does anybody have a suggestion? this is much appreciated.

I do not know if my symptoms are like yours but my package tip burns lately practically all the time. Sometimes its worse then others. When I pee it feels better but still hurts. If I ejac when master debating it hurts biiiggg time. Then later it calms but still hurts. I want to ask if any one on this forum feels pain down the shaft as well as below the scrotum as the muscle goes deeper in your body. I have pain here too. I also have pain when I push in the bladder area. I know people will chime in with bladder infection or maybe prostate problem. But I have been to the Urologist and taken all the tests and they have come back negative. I subscribe ( though without hard facts) with inflammation brought on maybe by high acid body levels or maybe stress. I personnally hate guessing about this I just wish a doc would come up with something to get rid of this or take away the pain. Sometimes I feel like I have gravel or sand rubbing the inside tract. Torture. Out

Alright ive had this same problem for a while now and this is really the only forum ive found where it looks like we are all having the same problem. What ive found out is that a reduction of times you masterbate can help. Just leave it alone for like five days then try again and see if it continues. Also i happen to be a smoker and drink caffiene alot, but idk if that has to do with it or not. I know for a fact that i do not have STD, and this problem is not realted. I did have ringworm though from rugby, don't know if that has anything to do with it. Resolving that problem is my first priority.

My observations:

First experience was very young (before alcohol or masturbation).  Second occurrence was around 16 or 17 (before alcohol or sex).  From there on, it seemed to occur once every month or two.

If I urinate within about 10 minutes before or 5 minutes after masturbation, it seems to occur.  I've never experienced it after sex.  I believe alcohol can be a factor largely because it makes you urinate more frequently.

My best cures are a warm bath, sleeping or getting another erection.  Somehow, a second erection seems to cancel it out (though the pain always makes it the farthest thing from my mind.

I am so glad I found this. This problem only started coming up last year, so I had no idea what was going on. At first I thought it was caused by alcohol consumption and marijuana use, however, I soon realized it happened while completely sober. It is completely random with me too, I can find no reason at all why it happens. My only guess is that it might happen when I have a "weak" orgasm, or my penis isn't rock hard. When I am drunk or high the pain is much more intense, particularly so when drunk. Usually last for 30 minutes or so.

I might have a solution.

This has been happening to me on and off for about ten years now.  I've considered everything from STD's to alcohol to dehydration to too much hydration to lint or other debris lodging in my urethra.

Anyway, try kegel exercises.  You can Google them, there's a thousand sites that give instructions, but I believe it's basically working the muscles that control urine blow, ejaculation.  

I started doing them to increase erection/ejaculation stregth, but they seem to keep this pain from happening too.

Hopefully it keeps working.  

Try it out.  They're easy to do, and even if they don't help, they're are those other benefits.

I have this same problem and had it for close to 15 years!  Hell!  I am actually writing this post to everyone becuz I just went through the pain after having sex with my wife.  She's sleep and I am internet surfing to see if there is any progress.

I will tell you this...  When you get the feeling immediately take a hot/warm bath shower.  It will relax your prostate and get rid of the pain. I just got out the tub myself.  After 20 minutes, the burning is gone.  It just feels like you have to pee or take a ****.

There is allot of speculation, so maybe I can help others understand what the problem is......

I am 32 work out, jog, drink a half gallon of water a day, I box, 6’1 200lbs.  Basically I am in awesome shape!

I finally got over my ego and went to the doctor to FINALLY get this checked out. Over a three week period, no one really knows the problem!  I was 27 years old when I went through every test possible. (Even a capacitor down my penis to my bladder)  owwweeee!!! I finally found an urologist who could help me figure out what the problem is.  

#1..  IT IS NOT AN STD!  I am so sick and tired of reading that!!!!!

What I was told was that I could have suffered from some type of trauma to my groin area when I was younger...  I don’t remember that, but OK...  That was the first doctor!  

After I didn’t take that as an answer I went to another doctor an urologist and  after urinate tests I found out that my muscle that contracts and controls your urination is very strong and does not fully empty the bladder.  Because this muscle is so strong it contracts as the prostate pushes *** out of your penis.  

Nonetheless, the prostate has to PUSH/THRUST the liquid out, it (your prostate) becomes inflamed and what you feel is the delayed pain from your prostate through your urinary track in your penis to the tip.  

It has nothing to do with your intake of liquids or alcohol as I have gotten this feeling with both or neither of them.  It also does not make a difference how hard your sex is or the lack of or quantity of sex, this condition will get cha…

My best friend is an ER doctor and I have had multiple discussions with him about this.  He has never had a patient complain about this, nor did he even know about it.

If you want to feel better quickly you can
1. Take a hot bath or shower to relax your prostate.
2. Take 3 tablets of Advil (Depends on how bad your case is)
3. Get some codeine.  That will knock it out quick! (Great for if you like having sex in the middle if the day and you get the pain)  But it is not the best choice as it is addictive.

I hope this helps a little…  I think the ones that have this condition should go to the doctor…  You never know if this could lead to prostate cancer…  

I will be checking this post and will be glad to answer any question I see..
Let’s make progression!
