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

Im facing the same problem. i will get this burning on the tip if i take a leak 10 minutes before or after ejaculation (masterbate/intercourse). which will last for about 30 minutes or so. This happen occasionally at other times as well (when it dosent. i have this from was back even before i had sex so im sure its not std.

I recently tried taking onion juice, just started to take one table spoon a day. its been a week now, i even tried to masterbate shortly after peeing a couple of days back. didnt feel the pain after ejaculation. It can be that that was mybe one off, but im going to stick taking this daily. hopefully this will work, if it doesn't. I'll be back here posting the failure report.

lol thanks, I attempted the goals I wrote out, but again I failed. I woke up to a wet dream today. My penis felt like it was burning, kind of scary. I now notice a rash on the outside of my penis tip. Gonna see a doctor in a week or 2, im in the process of moving at the moment.

I did some research and I may have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) or Balanitis. I'll be sure to tell my doctor that. Wish me luck!

Well, majority of the time, your penis will have to endure slight discomfort at timed due to the state of sensitivity an activity can cause. For most men, they feel mild burning, stinging, or some sensitivity after intercourse and even oral sex. However, if you have not had sex, you were recently a virgin, or simply had unprotected sex, these symptoms can be signs of something a bit more serious. It's great to go to a doctor and seek help. As for the Original topic host, what you experienced sounds normal. Stds usually take a tad longer to become present or noticeable. If the pain occured immediately after ejaculating, its mostly caused by what is known as the refractory period. I hope this was helpful. My husband goes through the same thing.

I'm with you man, held faping for 1,5 month, it is not so bad as it seems, just find what to do instead and say BIG NO to all erotic things, even slight.
Btw long time no sting here (with heavy alcohol consumption). For me what helps most clean penis everydaywith only water and stay away from acid things (but again many lemons - and no sting). It is so quantum you cannot calculate from where it comes :D

Hey guys. I am incredibly relieved to have found this discussion. I am an 18 years old male, and I have had this problem for over 4 months now. It has literally sent me through deep depression among other things. I've freaked out thinking it was an STD, and am too afraid to consult with a doctor due to me being underage while living with my parents (I don't really want them to find out about this, they assume things and go overboard).  

I have tried several things, but nothing has worked. I've tried taking daily hot baths, which numbed the pain for a day or so before the pain returned. I've tried lubricating it frequently, and cleaning the tip after peeing, ejaculating, etc. I feel like I've made no progress.

The problem is, the tip of my penis stings, sometimes randomly, sometimes not at all one day, and sometimes stinging more than usual. I am constantly opening the tip of my penis to see what's wrong, always seeing that it is slightly red and irritated on the lining at the very tip inside. gently squeezing the tip of my penis with my fingers will ignite the pain (basically on command). When I also squeeze the shaft of my penis at integrals, I feel a slight pain (sting) within, which I suppose is the urethra, irritated. This has scared/worried me for so long, even at this very moment.

After reading every post in this discussion, I'm going to try some new things. I am interested in the idea of drinking just water, all day every day, and nothing but. I always drink fruit smoothies, every day, that I prepare myself from scratch... I feel that the acids from the fruit may be flowing through my urine, the acids most likely irritate the urethra of my penis. This goes hand in hand with the alcohol consumption of the many people posting on here. I do not drink alcohol and never have, so I feel that all of the fruit smoothies that I have been drinking make up for that lack of alcohol consumption. All in all, I'm going to agree with a previous post that the liquids (and some foods) that we are consuming are influencing the PH levels of our urine, causing it to become more acidic.

I STRONG RECOMMEND NO MASTURBATION. ABSOLUTELY NONE. I have tried to go even a week without masturbation and failed miserably. I noticed that masturbation would immediately irritate the penis opening, causing that light red lining inside along the very tip to become a bright red that would eventually ignite the burning sensation about 10-15 minutes after each ejaculation. But as I mentioned before, I have been unable to resist the urges of my sexual nature for more than a week. I'm going to cease all masturbation for a month... oh God. Wish me luck...

With that said, I'm going to persistently drink water and ONLY water for the next month. I am also stopping all consumption of smoothies, acidic fruits (will only eat bananas), and any liquid besides water. Finally, I am going to force myself to resist masturbation entirely, which includes any touching as well (the only thing I can't resist is morning wood). As well as the usual, wearing loose underwear, loose pants/shorts, taking a daily shower, etc.

For the next month I am going to dedicate myself to the aforementioned tasks. I will post my progress here, if any. If this all works and takes the stinging and redness away, you guys will know in a month, and I will urge you to take the same steps that I am going to take.

Thank you! And thank you everyone for giving me some hope!

P.S. I have applied fresh Aloe Vera plant juice in and around the penis opening as experimentation with the problem. It actually did help and seemed to calm down the sensation. I can't remember too well the reason why I stopped applying it, but I will experiment with Aloe Vera again and keep you guys up to date.
