Occasional pain after urination

[Anonymous618]

Hi,

I am a male, 19 years old.  Occassionally (I would guess every few weeks or 1 month) I will have pain right after urinating (burning).  The pain usually only lasts about 15-60 minutes and slowly goes away during that time.  The pain tends to only happen once (it won't hurt the next time I urinate, or it does very little.)

I masterbate often (around once a day), and tend to "take my time" doing so (no sex).  After I finish is around when I would usually go urinate.  Then every once in a while (as stated above) it will hurt after urinating.  I am unsure if my masterbation would be related to the pain or not, just speculating.

I am just wondering if this would be something normal or if I should have it checked out.  If you need any more info, I'll be happy to answer.  Thank you.

Thank you for the response, I will keep what you've said in mind.  Although it will most likely be a while before this reoccurs, I may post again if i have any further problems/questions.

Hi,

In the absence of a significant sexual history ,this does not sound very urgent.

You may have mildly injured or irritated the area which may explain the burning sensation. I suggest that you refrain from frequently manipulating the area as this may cause further irritation .Mild cuts on the penile skin may lead to skin infections.

Wash the area with a mild and bland soap after urinating.Drink plenty of water and observe the symptoms.In the presence of redness, swelling and discharge, an immediate consult is necessary.
