Post ejaculation pain

[timiB]

I have experience pretty much what everyone else has described above.  A burning sensation in the penis after ejaculation and it only goes away after an hour or two.  Urination or another ejaculation can temporary relieve the pain but is never a cure.  The only thing I think is slightly different in my case (or nobody mentioned it) is that the pain happens after I urinate after ejaculation.  The pain hasn't happened after ejaculation itself, but only after I urinate after the ejaculation.  Which leaves me to believe something about the "valve" theory discussed above.  The thing that is horrible about it, is there is no rhythm or reason to why this happens.  I've been dehydrated, hydrated, drank alcohol, urinated before ejaculation and nothing seems to be the cause of this problem.  I find what helps the most is your state of mind, if you can distract yourself from the pain (watching tv, movie, or listening to music, etc...) seems to work the best.  I find that drinking a lot of water also helps.

I've had this problem for a very long time (a few years), and I'm surprised by how many others are affected. For me, it seems to happen randomly. Thing is, I've never been able to pinpoint the cause. I'm twenty years old, I've never had alcohol, I don't smoke, don't do drugs, not on meds, I'm healthy, and it began long before I started having sex. I should also point out that I've never had any damage, surgery, or otherwise to my genitals. Urination usually doesn't help, and the only way I've been able to get rid of the burning is to wait it out, which sucks. Getting your mind off of it does help, too, but sometimes it's difficult.

Sorry for the double-post, but I figured I should add something. The burning sensation occurs after masturbation, seemingly at random, but has only happened once after intercourse.

The only thing I can think of for this is a prostate issue.  You might want to get a prostate exam.

A prostate issue? It is in my head. I assure you it is not in my head or butt. It hurts and it is real. In fact I am trying to take my mind off of it right now by writting this. I have had this problem not for years and finally decided to "google" it. It is tough to talk about with my partner because you know they probably think it is an STD.

My issue is the same as all of yours. I had no idea what it was and still do not. It happens randomly but typically more from masturbation than sex. I thought I was crazy for trying to drop a duce to ride myself of the pain that occurs right after ejaculation. Peeing does help and I am going to try the ice and asprin thing. I know a warm bath does help as well. I think ice immediately followed by a warm bath and asprin might be the cure you are all looking for.

How freaking weird is this!?! This post has been going on for over two years and still no answers. But here is what I have learned. It does seem to happen when I "try to go too long." Whether it be because I want her to *** or want to make it last longer for myself. Not having sex is not an option. I always forget about until it happens. The other major factor I have found is that it happens when I am not really that horny and have sex or masturbate anyway. Tonight I masturbated about an hour before my gf showed up. When I had sex with her I wasnt really in the mood but thought I would get some while I had the chance. And boom it happened. She tried to arugue with me about something and all I could say was that my penis hurt and I needed to take the kids to the pool so it would stop.

Hope we find out something soon. This sucks!

I used to think this burning only occurred after a fizzy drink but was painfully proved wrong however I think urine is the key. Urinating relieves the pain for at least a minute or so and having to go every 5 minutes is annoying to say the least. The fact that I am able to urinate in these little amounts every five minutes puts a mental image in my head.  I reckon that some of my beloved seamen decide to stick around and this causes a problem for my penis. So what I am basically saying is that maybe the problem is caused by seamen drying inside the tip of the penis, either that or the seamen is simply causing swelling. Best method of prevention from this is to ensure you ejaculate fully and clean your penis well afterwards, do not roll over and go to sleep lol...saying that I have never had this pain when I ejaculate in bed at night.....this thing is quite bizarre, I nearly feel blessed. lol.

MollyWhoop - Prostate problems can cause pain in the penis.  If you googled male anatomy, or prostatitis, or chronic pelvic pain in men, you would realize that the symptoms you have do sound like prostate problems.

Snake and others - this is something that needs to be checked out.  There are treatments, though it can be frustrating.

I don´t know if this helps anyone?
5  months ago i went to a doctor because i had some pain when i urinated,bad smell from my penis and always in need to urinate but the drops were few.After testing my urin it was confirmed i had the std chlamidya.I got some medicine to take only once and was told not to have sex for one week.I didn´t for 1 month but after that i got burning pain every time i ejaculated.It was terrible and i was thinking about not having sex if this wouldn´t stop.I did a long research on this issue on the internet and didn´t find much so i went again to a doctor and he tested my blood and urin.The white blood  cells were too few and that can be caused by infection and my urin wasnt clear.My doctor wanted me to get apointment with some urology specialist but the waiting was about 4 months so he did decide to give me a two tablets to fix std and some prostatitis medicin called MONOTRIM (prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland) I took that every morning and evening for 2 weeks and now I have no problems with my penis.I don´t know if there was problem with my prostate but this medicine cured my problem.No pain at all and can have sex with smile on my face.
Good luck to everyone.

     After doing a little bit of research I can pretty much assure you that this condition does not mean you are unhealthy in any way. Most people think this condition is due to alcohol/dehydration which confirms my guesses earlier. Even though I am young and never had sex or drank alcohol, the problem still occurs. We did some studying on sexual organs recently in school, and even though I have only a basic understanding, I believe I have the answer for why it is caused.
    The urethra transports two things, urine and semen. To make sure that the sperm is not killed by the acidic remnants of urine as it travels through the urethrea, a gland releases a basic (as in high pH) substance that neutralizes the urine. This is what comes out of the penis before you actually ejaculate. When urine remains in the urethra because of improper "valve control" of the gland, which can happen more often if you are urinating constantly, dehydrated, or quickly ejaculate, the interaction of the sperm and urine causes a burning sensation that can be relieved for a short time by urinating (possibly because the concentration of urine to sperm is higher for a while, making the pH closer to what it should be).
    This might be nowhere close to the answer, but I believe it accounts for all the symptoms. It occurs to me only when I urinate right before or right after ejaculation, but only a small percentage of the time. I have tried many of the remedies that people here have suggested and they all work very well. Personally I take a pain reliever and try to do something that takes all my concentration (video games, math problems, exercise). Sitting on the toilet just makes me think about it more. All men should know that this is not a problem, just something that occurs from time to time because the human body is not perfect.

wow I can't believe I finally found that loads of people have this problem! Anyway, mine isn't that serious, there have been one of two times of really intense pain where I attempted to stop having sex
