Burning Sensation During Urination And Ejaculation, Was On Cipro With No Result.

I have had a severe burning sensation while urinating and while ejaculating for 5 days. I went to the E.R Tuesday the second day of pain. They said no infection. It's not an std. They have me cipro for three days and that has done next to nothing. It's most sever when I start to urinate and when I finish right below the head of my penis. Any ideas?

Hi,

I can understand your concern for burning sensation during urination and ejaculation.

Now the symptoms of burning sensation can be because of the Urinary tract infection (UTI). This can be because of both Sexually Transmitted Infection as well simple cause. In Yours it also appears it can be due to simple microorganisms present on the skin or due to nonspecific cause.

To differentiate the simple cause to that of Sexually Transmitted Infection - there is profuse pus discharge with other of the symptoms such as pain and moderate to seer irritation in in UTI caused by Sexually Transmitted Infections. This UTI part can be nonspecific also due to less drinking of the water other than infectious cause.

You need to go for culture and sensitivity of urine and semen for the exact sensitive antibiotic to be given in proper dose and for proper time.

All the best.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Burning on urination and ejaculation can be caused by anything that causes inflammation of the urethra (the tract that is within the penis through which urine and the ejaculate pass).

Infection of any aspect of the urinary tract is the most common cause. Other possible causes are stones, side effect of medication, cancer, spondyloarthopathy.

To determine the cause, your may need to be re evaluated by your doctor. This would include a thorough history, examination of your abdomen/prostate/inspection of the penis and investigations.

Urine should be sent to the lab. Imaging tests may need to be done.

I hope this helps
