Hi, i should of been more clear i am in a full relationship and this can no way be a sti because i can 100% trust my partner. i have had a nurse test my urine for bacteria at that time she said said it came back clear.

It seems it get more irritated at times i think when i have coffee ect maybe its a inflamed bladder?? like cystitis or some think like that.

i will just reconfirm symptoms it burning after i urinate i can feel the discharge come down my penis and when i touch it it smells strong of ammonia that must be the the burning and if i have some thing my bladder dont like ie coffee it gets bad and its also irritating the inside of my penis.

Brief Answer:
Get Ultrasound Scanning of Kabdomen done

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .

The burning at the end of urination (Strangury) is typical symptom of infection of bladder (Cystitis)

Though routine urine analysis done by a nurse is negative it does not rule out infection .I would suggest to get following two basic tests done
1) Urine culture
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen .(Kidney ,Ureter and Bladder )

Till then continue taking medicines suggested .
Thanks and regards.
