What Causes Itchiness And Tight Sensation In The Urethra?

Hi, I am having some strange symptoms in what I think is my urethra (male). Symptoms started after sex but I have been tested for Chlamydia and a general infection, both negative. It's impossible for it to be an STD.

I didn't ejaculate during sex but did so when I masturbated the following day, which is when the symptoms started. It felt as though the ejaculate had to force it's way out of a specific part of my urethra (just above halfway in shaft). Since then the symptoms have been: constant scratchy/itchy/tight sensation in the urethra, in addition to slight burning on urination and a feeling of needing to urinate more, although this is partly from concentrating on the issue.

I have not had any sexual activity, including masturbation, for the past week and a half to see if the problem goes away. It has improved but the symptoms are still noticeable and don't give the impression of totally going.

Like I said, an infection has been ruled out so I am worrying if there is some form of urethral damage.

Urologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted I think you have developed Stricture of the urethra (Narrowing of Urethra).

It needs to be confirmed by radiological test called Cystourethrogram.

Consult qualified Urologist and get this test done under his guidance ,

If turns out to be positive he may advise you to undergo endoscopic surgery called V.I U (Visual Internal Urethrotomy) to widen the strictured segment of urethra.
