What Causes Recurrent Burning Sensation In Penis After Masturbation?
Question: I had a burning sensation in my penis a month ago. The doctor said I had yeast balanitis.
He gave me an ointment which I used for almost two weeks. The burning sensation went down at the end of second week. The burning sensation came back again when I masturbated. Since then its been going on and off. I notice it when I eat spicy food or when I masturbate. Its been three weeks now. What do you recommend?

Brief answer....some yeast infection seems to be persisting
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
There could be following reasons for your symptoms...
Your yeast infection has not gone down completely
You might be masturbating with some violent force resulting in local inflammation and pain.
You might be using soap as lubricant for masturbation and this being irritant might be causing pain.
I advise you the following....
Use anti fungal cream for 2 weeks more
Avoid masturbating for couple of weeks and then resume with gentle force and avoid using soap or oil as lubricant. You may use Vaseline or cold cream for lubrication.
Overall I am presuming that you didn't do any unprotected sex with any sex worker because sexually transmitted diseases can also cause the same symptoms.
I hope it helps however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
