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

I would thank my luck (and the internet ) to have landed on this forum. I have had exactly the same problem ; occasional burning sensation after masturbation or sex, irregular flow of urine during this period that would last 20-30 minutes.  Given I have history of acidity ( which kind of ***** as i am just 29) i can relate to the comments that have been posted above.

Reading this discussion forum has cleared some nasty doubts that i have had about this problem. Drink water avoid alcohol don't go hungry for long .. that should solve the problem

Woke up from a nap and went to use restroom. It stung like fire when I tried to urinate. Went to the er on Sunday. They did a urine test and a swan test for a std. Everything came back negative. I went to a urologists on Wednesday. He checked prostate, he did a scope down my penis and everything looked great. He said I had a skin irriation inside my penis. I was given more antibiotics and its Friday now and it still hurts when I try to pee. And after I pee I have droplets that come out which are so uncomfortable. I'm tired of this. Please help someone.

I think everyone is right here. If you are having this problem over and over again, and it is re-occuring, don't be a fool. Go see your doctor! Tonight I had a few beers, and it happened to me. It only happens when I drink about 4,5,or 6 beers and have a good buzz, possibly dehydration. But when I'm straight up drunk it doesn't happen. So it is a little confusing. This is the first time this has happened to me in probably about a year, so I am happy there. And I don't think I have this trich because I have protected sex and I read up on it because I didn't know what the hell it was, but it says that it is mainly occuring in women, and they don't know how it is created. It is curable, so get this fixed. You guys, are all big helps, thanks for letting me know I am not the only one.

Does the trichomoniasis test hurt? The specialist told me i have Interstitial cystitis, but im only 28. and that is a bladder disorder/prostate, this has been happening off and on since Ive been 16, its extremely painful for me these days. My antibiotics for the interstitial cystitis is $400 a month for 6 months, extreme. I wonder if I have Trich.

I wastestedfor std's,put on antibiotics, and experienced all the same frustrations with diagnosis that all of you have had. The burning after masturbating when I had consumed alcohol was unbearable at times. Strangely it never happened after intercourse.. The only relief I found was sitting on the toilet and trying to have a bowel movement.

I eventually saw a urologist who explained that it is a small muscle that becomes tight, in combination with the dehydrating effects of alcohol, it causes that feeling of pain and the need to urinate. She recommend to sit in Ba'ath and relax. Let the muscle ease up. It does work. The downside is you sit in a bath with your own urine. Not really that bad as urine is neutral.

So, the only real solution is to avoid alcohol and to stay hydrated. There is no fix.

I have the same symptoms as you guys and the only thing that helps me relieve the pain is urination. Even one drop helps relieve the pain. There is good news and this can be avoided. So when having intercourse or masturbating the inside of the penis can swell and sometimes germs can infect the tip of the penis( almost like a small urinary trac infection).  To avoid it becoming infected, simple clean out the tip of the penis when done with sex. Even the sperm left inside after ejaculation can irritate it so what I do is squeeze every bit of sperm out when I loose my erection. This may not help everyone but this is the only thing that has helped me and now I rarely get that burning, tingly sensation that drives us nuts. Hope this helps and just remember to squeeze it all out
