Periodic tip of penis pain after ejaculation, burning

Hi, I have a very irritating problem. For the past 8 years, since I was a teenager, I've periodically had intense pain after ejaculation. This only happens once every 2 weeks or so, and I've had it from sex and masterbation.

This pain will happen anywhere from 5 min to 30 min after I ejaculate, and the pain will stop temporarily when I urinate, sometimes when I urinate it even feels good. This also causes me to feel like I constantly have to urinate. This pain always disappears after an hour or two, and never happens unless I ejaculate. I don't understand this at all because it only happens once in a while, and  there is no common factor to relate it happening to sex and masterbation (as far as material objections like latex etc). It seems like there might be some slight swelling during this period of 1-2 hours also.

The only thing I can think of is sometimes when I exercise for long period of time my groin has a distinct smell from it (bad). This isn't always the case though, I can run 3 miles one day, and stink like this, and the next day I can run 3 miles and smell perfect. I have no marks/bumps/warts etc in my genital area.


I've searched the internet for many hours on this and I can't find an answer, thanks for your time.

Wow, i am absolutely amazed. I have experienced the exact same symptoms as describe above. After i have sex, or masturbate, occasionally i will experience EXTREME burning pain within my uretha. The interesting thing is it only happens once in a blue moon, never on a frequent basis. The pain, interestingly, would subside after i urinated a few times, or after about 30 minutes. This pain has happened seen i was a teenager, before i was sexually active and has continued until now.
   GUYS i have found relief.. Once you begin to experience the pain, take an anti inflammatory (ib profen, acetaminophen, etc). I believe our symptoms come from a swelling/irritation from within the penis. The symptoms are dramatically reduced after you take the medicine. However, after reading this i am consulting with my physician. This almost sounds like we have some sort of rare penal disorder. I mean, you shouldn't have to take medicine after you ejaculate.
  GOOD LUCK and remember take IB PROFEN (sp?) when you experience these symptoms, it really worked for me.

Hey guys,
Wow, I've had the exact problem for 7 years now.  I've been to the Doctors, and still nothing.

I have some observations about this problem:
I pee A LOT, maybe like twice a night, and if I drink a single beer sometimes I'll pee 9 times in an hour.  For the most part I've narrowed it down to urination.

This is ruining my life! I'm a very sexual person, and I have sex with multiple women, and every time I'm embarrassed as hell to leave, or for me wishing they would leave cause I'm not in a good mood when this is happing.
I want to enjoy my after sex, maybe with a cigarette, or a good conversation.   But this is really effecting my life.

Where are the DOCTORS on this problem?????????? Pleaseeeeee..........

well what can i say... this has been the cause of much worry and discomfert for me.... i experience symptoms nearyl identical to what you all say... i find that i get this feeling only after i have been drinking, and usualy take a very hot bath or shower and that seems to do the trick almost instantly...good sugestion about the anti inflamitory drugs, that might be a possible cause but i think it is more closly related to the valve malfunction mentioned earlier. im wondering how long this will continue to be a problem for me. its a ***** to think this will affect me for the rest of my life... theres got to be somthing one can do to stop this!! do any of you get this without ejaculation?

I am now 28 and have had this same problem as long as I can remember.  I have noticed that it happens more with not having enough fluid during the day, and it being a while since my last ejaculation.  I did ask my doctor about this, and in not medical terms, he told me the problem resides with the valve the controls the urine and the semen.  It sometimes does not close the way it should, or becomes swollen, allowing both to get through at the same time.  I have found that nothing works.  But I have found that you can speed up the process by sitting on the toilet and trying to force a bowel movement.  That has usually worked for me.  It is just hard to explain that to a new sex partner when you get the burning sensation that completely kills the mood.
Does anyone else have advice on how to speed this process up?

Thanks

wow, i can't tell you how long i've been looking for info about this exact condition! i too had thought it was prostitis since that's the only condition whose symptoms are remotely similar. but in most cases what we seem to have is much milder. i don't get it after every ejaculation, it seems to come and go. i'm beginning to think it might actually be a type of yeast infection (candida). has anyone looked into this? anyway, i'm relieved to finally find this characterized in other men. i'm seeing a doctor next week so if he has any ideas i will post again.

This clearly isn't an STD, which is my only area of expertise.  I don't have a good explanation.  I suggest you see a health care provider, perhaps a urologist.  Or consider posting your question on the Med Help urology forum.

Good luck--  HHH, MD

My boyfriend has this problem, we will have sex and he is always is in a lot of pain afterwards, and finds it painful to pull out. The pain normally dies down after about 30-40 minutes, people say it's probably just muscle ache but has anyone got any other ideas to what it could be?

Hey im so glad ive seen this, i had this problem a couple of years ago and it just came back and have had it 3 days in a row but i have realised that i have drunk beer beforehand each day which may be linked with the dehydration theorys. I gennerally pee alot, then try cause a bowel movement followed by a cold shower and finally a cigarette to help take my mind of it and usually helps. Cheers

In think it caused by a slightly thinner urethra then most, which develops small tears when orgasm is reach and large amounts of seman are pumped through. I drink a ton of water then wait until my bladder wants to burst, then I pee very clear liquid and "flush" out the wounds. I believe you have to dilute your urine so its not very acidic, wich will irritate the tears. That's my guess hope it helps. I also sometimes fill up on water before hand, so I'm prep'd to pee to fix the problem afterwards

6 years later, I write to tell you all that I am experiencing this right now. I haven't had any sexual experience yet so I make do with masturbation, but it usually happens to me when I don't pee PROPERLY before urinating.
My simple logic is that when you shake it it gets warm inside. Thus the pee that comes out passes through the warm part and ***** you in a non-pleasure sort of way. No real solution... What I'm doing at the moment is sitting in a bathroom on the seat, writing all this and peeing very little every 1 minute or so. Been 20 mins and I can feel it's about to end.

I've been going through the same thing for years. I don't think it's diet related...it seems too random, I can't really identify a particular action that makes it more likely to happen. For me it happens much more often after masturbation...I've only had it happen once or twice after sex.  I usually take a shower right after masturbation or sex, and I was sure that I was getting soap into the tip of the penis.

I've also had it since I was a teen.  After I eliminated GLUTEN from my diet last year realized that is what it was. At least for me. If I eat gluten containing food, orgasm the next day, I'm almost guaranteed to get the burning for about 20min and that intense need to pee.

I was worried I was alone. Same prob for me. For years I was also worried it was an std. I must say I am on the side of the dehydration theroy. The only cure for me has been the hot shower or bath.

Glad to find this. Have had many of the same issues. Only I have some others also. I had a very bad car accident 9yrs ago, where my entire track was crushed. For 2 mnths I had a super pubic catheder. Goes thru the stomach into the bladder. Had it cause I couldent pee. One night still in the hospital, ipissed all over myself, even with a cathader. Drs were confused, but happy to see it work. Me to. For to yrs to follow I had very frequent urinations. Every ten min like clock work. And pain, and low flow most times. It has gotten better over the yrs since. Still pee frequently, about evry hr or couple hrs. I do find it better to stay hydrated. But I deffinatly think the cause is an internal flow, or direction, slash timing of flow issue. Which may be dirrectly related to prostate size. But I have another twist. When this/what you are all expeirencing, I also expeirence. Only several hrs after, or the next day in my bowel movement, or in passing gas, I will also excrete seminal fluids out the rear. Not comfy. I refer to it as ssb or severe seminal backup. And am trying to figure out if my theory holds water. Theory being, this ssb, or whatever, seems to be much more common in the last 10 to 20 yrs. Who's wearin what?  Whitey titetys. Or boxers. I realy do wonder if this makes ne difference. Looking for common denominators
