I feel your pain
Wow! I thought I was alone in my pain ---it needs to be cured. this is
a terrible curse I am 26 and have delt with it for years. figured it was just my body
but reading these post I would have to agree that it has something to do with urination
either to many softdrinks not enough water or all the drinking I did when I was Younger
or something in my diet. I can go months with out it happening but when in starts it can last for weeks so I tend to stay away from sex it's like I can tell when it will happen.I will have a good run where everything is peachy but then I pay for all the fun. I have had it so bad I almost passed out from the pain I asked my dad if he had the problem he said he did and it was a urniary infection.
He gave me some ( AZO urniary pain relief tab which is Phenazopyridine hydrochloride 95mg tabs) and told me to take them for a couple of days and I would be good as new.but by the time I got the pills it had subsided so I did'nt
take them. two weeks later the pain came back with a vengance I delt with the pain for at least two hours Before I remembered those pills and I popped two and was in heaven within 30 mins I was pissing orange for a day or so but wow what a relief. I do not no if it was the pills or if my body just fixed the problem but I would highly recomend having some of those pills around. they saved my life.Note this I only took two and no more after that day. the pain went away with the two so I was happy I dont think I have a urinary infection wich is what I think the pills are for but what ever is in them really seemed to take the pain away
I had a good run after that. of course I gave my self a week or two before any sex to heal and I still occanisonally
get the pain. I have came up with the theory it has something to do with the way I may be setting in a chair through out the day maybe setting down for a long period in certain positions can bend the plumbing up or irritate it somehow?

This also happens to me, and I am uncircumcized but I was also born with hypospadias(a relatively common abnormality that may affect up to 3 in 1000 newborn boys.) Instead of having a urethral opening at the end of the penis, boys born with hypospadias have an opening on the underside of the shaft.

I would suggest that all of you interested in this, and who have tested negative for STDs, visit the urology forum.

Hi,
I have been interested to find the related discussions on this matter.
AuntieJessie - thanks for your information - it does look though that there may be something other than prostatitis going on here.
KM__ - I am uncircumcised and experience this problem.
I have had this problem since a very early age (probably pre-teens) and still experience it from time to time (now in my 30's).
For me urinating shortly after ejaculation seems to help - I have always made the assumption that clearing the passages was what helped and will often purposefully go for a pee after sex in order to prevent the problem. Whether this does help though I am not 100% sure.
That said, I often am unable to urinate for a fairly long time after ejaculation - I realise this is normal - you are not meant to be able to urinate while erect. However it can extend to well after the loss of erection. This leads me to think that there may be some truth in the thoughts that the issue may be related to some disfunction in the control of urine/semen flow as I assume that this long inability to urinate is not how it is meant to work.
Another point - Sometimes after sex before going to sleep, I will awaken after an hour or so with the pain. Every time this happens I have some residual seminal fluid around the tip of the penis under the foreskin. I had thought that not cleaning off all the fluid after sex caused inflamation etc. However over the years I have noticed that this fluid seems to appear after ejaculation and subsequent cleaning - again perhaps suggesting some issue with 'flow control' down there.

Hi there -
Yes, uncircumcised men can get prostatitis. That doesn't have anything to do with it.
Here is a good article about chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men, the new name for chronic prostatitis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_prostatitis/chronic_pelvic_pain_syndrome

For starters, I would like to humbly suggest that those who wish to provide advice of the “it’s probably your prostate or an std, see a urologist” kind, should probably consult the vast literature that is accumulating on this site before rushing to a judgment. And I use the term “literature” because, quite frankly, this site and our comments appear to be the best source of information for those suffering from this problem.
With that said, and before providing some potentially helpful advice to my fellow suffers, I feel I must resort to bold-faced type to address a question that is becoming common in this forum: namely, ARE THERE ANY UNCIRCUMCISED SUFFERERS?!!! Personally I’m not leaning in the direction of the nerve damage theory – though I belong to the strange consensus of circumcised sufferers who have posted so far -- but I’m happy to entertain any ideas – particularly since the medical community has not been able to help the large number of people using this forum who have already sought medical advice.
Though I’m as confused and annoyed by this problem as everybody else who has posted about this over the last couple years, the fact that I’ve endured this condition for nearly two decades makes me feel like something of an expert on how to avoid the discomfort. Lots of trial and error has brought me to the following strategy (which, needless to say, is tailored after my own specific reactions and will not be helpful to everyone with the general problems described in our makeshift literature):
1. Do not ejaculate with a full bladder. If this cannot be prevented in a certain case, I recommend immediate use of Ibuprofen following ejaculation in order to preempt discomfort. (FYI, avoid taking Ibuprofen too frequently as excessive use is often linked to other maladies.)
2. Do not urinate for at least thirty minutes after ejaculation. I believe in many people this exacerbates the problem. Some people in this forum claim that immediate urination after ejaculation actually prevents their pain. This is definitely not the case with me.
3. If you sense the discomfort coming on, immediately take Ibuprofen and avoid urination for as long as is feasible. This works very well for me despite the fact, based on the comments I’ve read here, I would count myself among the most severe sufferers in terms of frequency and duration. With this simple strategy it is rarely a serious problem.

You should get this checked. The pills your dad gave would help with the burning, etc., but they won't cure anything.
You could have an std, a prostate infection, or a bladder infection. You really do need to get this checked.
Good luck,
AJ
