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

One more person in the this small group of frustrated people...
but what makes me different from these guys is,i've never had a intercourse with anyone.
And yet i have the problem.. and especially during urinating the pain is at its peak (just after ejacultaion) and even i've to wait in the washroom for another half an hour for that single droplet of urine to pass.... and im really desperate to eradicate this unpleasing feeling for ever.

My friends told me I was freakin out Becase I told thim that my penis feels as thow it is not empty and at times feels as though burning on the tip.. They said that I was on fire and being over exaggeriating Have any of you found anything let me Know?
Recently had intercourse with a close friend and Medical professional. After I returned home I noticed a slight burning sensation which has escalated into a more intense stinging. We also had
oral sex for a long time and that really concerns me. I am currently on Azithromycin 250 mg.
I take the 3rd pill tomorrow and hope things take a turn for the better.

An other one to add to the group. I have spoke to many doctors about this and none of them have a clue what it is. I have been tested for STDs which came back clear and I was given antibiotics anyway which done nothing. With me the burning is quite painful. It only occurs after ejaculation and is more likely to occur if I ejaculate several times within a short period of time. If I do not ejaculate for a few days it calms down a bit. To get rid of the burning I have to drink lots of water and wait until I really need to go to the toilet. Then I pee with as much force as possible which, bizarrely, seems to 'clear the tubes out' and stop the burning. Its almost as if my sperm is extremely acidic and when a little is left in the tube it burns it. One doctor suggested that I may be allergic to my own sperm but i'm not sure how that works.
Prostatitis. That's what it sounds like you all have. I have it too, and I regularly experience this pain upon ejaculation. Also the urinary burning, frequency, urgency, the whole shebang.
The bad news is that antibiotics really don't fix it, because something like 90-95% of prostatitis cases are non-bacterial (no one knows why they occur). The best theory out there is that somehow urine travels back into the spermatic cords and back into the prostate, causing the burning. But results are inconclusive at best. You might notice some improvement from the antibiotics, but more than likely it will be temporary at best.
The good news is that it won't kill you, and you can treat the symptoms. I have been taking 50 mg of zinc a day, which really seems to have helped the symptoms. I also try to drink as much water as possible, which does that "tube clearing" thing. In addition, I take cranberry pills, although I'm not 100% sure if they really help.

P.S. One last thing - check your scrotum during a hot shower. See if you find anything around the testicles that feels like cords or thick threads. These are called varicoceles. They're not going to kill you either, but they can mess with your circulation. There seems to be some evidence that varicocele can cause prostatitis or vice versa. So I wouldn't be surprised if you have those too.
P.P.S. Just to be on the safe side, make sure you get tested for all STDs. Then, once you've ruled everything out, you can be fairly confident that you have prostatitis.

This seems to be a symptom that current knowledge cannot accurately diagnose, other than saying the cause is 'anxiety'. I have seen on another forum that one person had a scan and had some inflammation of the appendix and has been successfully treated (see pasting below). Another cause was inflammation of the prostate.
i went to the hospital for the same reasons & had a cat scan done & they said it was swollen limp nodes pertaining to my appendix, & with the swollen limp nodes it causes pain in the abdomen, testicles, penis, & constant burning feeling in groin/penis area.Most people would think it was a urinary track infection (which i thought & they gave me ciprofloxacin) but it wasn't a UTI, or kidney stones.They prescribed me (DARVOCET-N 100) or (propo-n/apap100-650) & after a few days i'm feeling much better & they want me to go back in 2 months to check on the appendix & limp nodes
