Detailed Answer:
HI,thanks for using healthcare magic
Burning discomfort on ejaculation can be related to inflammation and/or infection of the prostate, urethara, epididymis but is most commonly related to the prostate.
During arousal the prostate and the seminal vesicles are responsible for manufacture of the majority of the fluid that makes up the semen.
The seminal vesicles are located behind the prostate gland.
Prostatitis or inflammation of the prostate is most commonly associated with bacterial infection.
Diagnosis requires physical examination (rectal examination to see if the prostate is inflamed).
Investigations include a sample of urine, before and after prostatic massage.
Imaging such as an ultrasound may also be requested.
Treatment normally entails the use of antibiotics, normally for at least 4 weeks.
You should consider visiting your doctor for an evaluation.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
