Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Itching in the penis while urinating can be due to:
1) Infections of the prostate, bladder, or seminal vesicles and interstitial cystitis.
2) Gonorrheal infections.
3) Urethritis or prostatitis.
You may need to undergo comprehensive profile of investigations including semen examination, culture, urine culture and examination, PSA levels, STD panel for gonorrhea, swab samples and a cystoscopy if needed to rule out any urethritis.
First you need to see a doctor,get a swab test to confirm the diagnosis.
You may have to take a course of antibiotics.
Avoid indulging in sex until your infection is resolved.
You need to have good hygiene.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful.
Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
