What Causes Burning Sensation In The Penis While Urinating?
Question: Hi, I am having some burning when urinating and pressure in my pubic area. There has been no discharge or no lesions or bumps or any kind on my genitals.
Hi, I am having some burning when urinating and pressure in my pubic area. There has been no discharge or no lesions or bumps or any kind on my genitals. The burning continues after urinating at the tip of my penis and some agitation in general in that area. Skin looks normal and no real pain on my penis. I have had prostate issues in the past and it seems like these were some of the same symptoms. Any ideaa from these symptoms?? Im going to the GP Tuesday but am worried about what it could be. Yes i had unprotected sex with one frmale on Dec. 24th and a pregnant woman who im sure was tested for all things upon going to the doctor. So im doubting that it is a STI. Any help is appreciated!!
