Could Burning Over Tip Of Penis Be A Sign Of Prostate Infection?

Hello, after I urinate the tip of my penis burns and it burns alittle after I defficate. I was checked for all STD's last month and was negative. Last fall I was treated with antibotics. The MD was leaning towards a Prostate infection. Does it sound like I might have another infection? I'm 43 years old. The symptoms above have lasted for about three weeks. Thanks

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The symptoms are suggestive of urinary tract infection, the burning micturation is a classical sign of UTI.

I would like yo know whether there is any history of high grade fever, chills and rigor which will suffice the UTI.

You may be require lab investigation like urine examination for pus cells which helps to confirm our diahnosis of UTI, as you are getting frequent UTI you should be completely evaluated.

For the present symptoms you can take oral antibiotics like oflox and metrogyl, which will improve your condition.
Thank you.
