What Causes Burning Sensation In Urethra?

Posted on Sat, 12 Sep 2015

Question: I am having burning sensation in urethra tip since 1 month. It is there constant. It goes away for one or two days but comes back again and is there always. I made all the tests and all reports are coming normal. My ultrasound reports, uric acid and creatinine test are normal. I have consulted with many doctors and they all say you have nothing and drink lots of water and it will go away. Last doctor just put me on an cefuroxime antibiotic for 5 days and told me drink alkalinizer for 5 days as he suspects mild infection. I have attahed my urine test report. I have already taken tablet for 3 days and drinking lots of water. Burning goes but comes back again for half day. Please advise.

Hi,

I have carefully read what you have wrote. Your report attached not a concern. My suestion is to continue the medication course prescribed and continue to drink ood amount of water for few more days. I want to reassure that your problem would subside by this time.

however, if it does not, I advise to undergo cystouretroscopy for further analysis.
