Burning sensation in the meatus

Posted , 7 users are following.

I have a burning sensation in the meatus, for the past 5 weeks. It is made worse if I masturbate or have sex. The only things that make it better is bepathen and canesten creams, plus some ice pack on my penis. My GP thought it could be UTI, but all urine results came back negative. Plus, blood test for chlamydia and Syphilis came back negative. Then I went to an Urologist that checked my penis and did a quick urine test. He said all was fine and diagnosed as Balanitis. I still get the discomfort every time I get an erection or masturbate. I was get burning after peeing, not during. The penis glans seems sore, but I don't see any visible marks. I'm circumsized. Is this Balanitis? If so, is it due to infection or masturbation/sex? What can I do to make this constant discomfort go away for good?

    Did the utologist give you any cream?  If not, Canesten may help.  Take a leak and wash your penis after every time you masturbate or have sex too.  If you just roll over and go to sleep, you have bodily fluids drying down there, and it's sensitive skin, so it sometimes reacts.

      Hi, I took canesten and bepathen. It helps, but it seem to treat the underlying situation. Going to a dermotologist, but I'm more inclined to think this situation was due to masturbation or sex. Not sure if it's candida or any other infection.

      Sorry, I missed the part of your original post where you mentioned bepathen and canesten creams.  If you've been tested for UTIs and STIs though, then it does sound like balanitis, though that covers a wide range of different things.  It probably is related to masturbation or sex, but that doesn't mean that a dermatologist might not be able to help.  If I were you, I'd see your urologist again though.  If he hasn't heard from you after the initial visit, he would assume that everything's fine, since a lot of these infections clear up in 2-3 days.

      It might be worth your partner getting checked out too, as these infections can be passed between partners.

      Good luck!

      Hey jack, glad to provide you some info on my current status. A lot who are concerned forget this site or thread and never update their status but I will provide you with my 10 month overall. Listen and listen carefully 

      Tried everything and seen everyone from dermatologists to general doctors to oral doctors to clinic specialists.

      All provided me almost the same type of meds related to vaginal sex with a yeast infection partner. 

      Meds used;

      izoconazole nitrate 1%  

      fluconazole 200mg 7 day capsules X2

      It all began as a cat and mouse game, apply the cream for a week stop for a day or two the irritation will persist.

      Soap will cause irritate so went through it all until I discovered DOVE which I currently use till this day from AXE or OLDspice body washes. Underwear would cause a additional problems which I found that 100% cotton tight briefs, without any stitching in the center would help isolate any frictions caused on the meatus or gland.

      Keep in mind I’m not circumcised, so when this all started, My natural bodily lubrication under my foreskin didn’t allow my foreskin to cover the gland anymore. 

      Constant washes was required and drying with a blow dryer lol Because any moist left behind would create irritation all over again.

      Consistency is important.

      Once I cut anxiety in half I started seeing results. I covered all my STD screening apart from HPV which a existing wart is needed for analysis. 

      I was happy to know all long term diseases had not infected me including cancers or syphalis.

      I know that HPV could be faught with a strong immune system so I started taking supplements with my workouts cut meats ingest in half. Drink a lot of lemon water and hope to p**s it all out one day.

      Word of advise, avoid irritation, say goodbye to masterbation and eat healthier Incase traces are left unnoticed that a healthy immune system could fight off anyway.
