Burning during ejaculation with prostatitis

What can cause pain and burning during or after ejaculation?

Burning or pain during ejaculation or urination - the symptoms are not only very unpleasant, but also dangerous. Many men try to ignore such feelings in the hope that over time everything will pass by itself. What can cause painful ejaculation, pain or burning in men?

Causes of pain after ejaculation or urination

It is not worth counting on "it will pass by itself", because it is precisely such symptoms that are an indisputable sign of the development of diseases of the genitourinary system.

Pain during ejaculation can be of a different nature: it occurs at the moment of ejection of seminal fluid or immediately after that and can be acute or aching. One of the common causes of pain is the interruption of sexual intercourse by a man to prevent unwanted pregnancy. This method of contraception, when used regularly, causes disturbances in the functioning of the organs of the reproductive system, which, as a result, leads to a feeling of discomfort after the end of sexual contact. As a rule, after changing the method of protection, the functioning of the reproductive system returns to normal.

Common causes of pain or burning after ejaculation include:

• Sexually transmitted diseases (chlamydia, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea and others).
• Inflammatory processes in the organs of the reproductive system (orchitis, vesiculitis, prostatitis).
• Inflammatory processes and diseases of the urinary system (urethritis, cystitis, urolithiasis).

How to determine what exactly causes burning or pain during ejaculation in men? The causes of discomfort can be established after examination by a specialist and some laboratory tests. In addition, all of these diseases have their own characteristics, which we will discuss in more detail below.

Burning due to inflammation in the genitals

Why does pain occur in the presence of inflammation after sexual intercourse? This is due to the fact that during sexual contact, blood flow to the organs involved in the process increases. As a result, the already existing symptoms are intensified.

Inflammatory processes in the male reproductive organs can be caused by sexually transmitted infections, or by pathogens transferred from other organs. It is inflammation that can cause pain in the groin after ejaculation.

The feeling of discomfort can be manifested due to inflammatory processes in the testicles (orchitis, epididymitis). In acute forms of the disease, a man may feel severe pain in the groin, in the sacrum. Characteristic signs are swelling and enlargement of the scrotum, soreness of one or both testicles when touched, discomfort while walking or sitting for a long time.

Painful ejaculation is also one of the main signs of vesiculitis (inflammation of the seminal vesicles). Additional symptoms of inflammation include aching and pulling pains in the groin, fever. There may be a decrease in the volume of seminal fluid. To confirm the diagnosis, a rectal examination, a laboratory study of the secretion isolated from the vesicles, and ultrasound are performed.

The most common cause of painful ejaculation is prostate inflammation. Prostatitis can be caused by both the penetration of infectious microorganisms and stagnant processes in the gland. Characteristic signs of the inflammatory process is an increase in the acidity of the prostate secretion, and as a result, pain and burning during ejaculation.

In acute prostatitis, a man's temperature rises, pain is often observed during and after ejaculation. At the same time, the nature of pain sensations can be different: from minor discomfort to sharp penetrating spasms. Their localization can also be quite wide. For some men, it is the perineum, lumbar region, or groin, while others experience pain in the balls after ejaculation.

Diagnosis of prostatitis includes an examination by a urologist, laboratory tests, ultrasound of the prostate gland. A digital examination of the organ may also be performed. First of all, the etiology is established, the patient's condition is assessed, and treatment is prescribed based on all the data.

Possible cause of pain - sexually transmitted diseases

Quite often, diseases transmitted during sexual intercourse become a factor causing discomfort. One such disease is chlamydia. Once in the body, chlamydia sometimes may not manifest itself in any way, however, in some cases, under the influence of infection, disturbances in the urinary system develop.As a rule, there is pain or itching in the urethra, the appearance of discharge, pain in the urinary canal, radiating to the lumbar region or scrotum.

With timely treatment, the treatment of this disease occurs in 2-3 weeks. Self-medication in the presence of this infection is dangerous because chlamydia quickly develop immunity to drugs, and after that it becomes much more difficult to find effective drugs.

Gonorrhea is another common sexually transmitted disease. The bacteria that cause it are localized in the organs of the genitourinary system and the lower rectum. Initially, a man has a burning sensation in the urethra after urination or ejaculation, purulent discharge appears. At the next stage of the development of the disease, pain symptoms of varying intensity occur. They accompany not only toilet visits and sexual contacts, but also involuntary erections that occur in the morning or at night.

The cause of pain during ejaculation is diseases of the urinary system

One of the main factors of burning sensation after ejaculation in men is inflammation in the urethra and bladder.

Pain, pain and discomfort during urination and at the final stage of sexual intercourse can occur with urethritis. During sexual intercourse, due to increased blood flow, she experiences a certain tension, which leads to the formation of microcracks. Getting into these cracks, urine or seminal fluid and cause itching and pain. A sign of developing urethritis may be the appearance of discharge from the urinary canal. If they are greenish, rather plentiful, have a specific smell and texture - the inflammation of the urethra was caused by a bacterial infection.

The danger of this disease lies in the fact that with untimely treatment, urethritis can quickly turn into a chronic form. In this case, the symptoms become less vivid, which is mistakenly perceived as an improvement in the condition. Postponing a visit to a specialist "on the back burner" usually ends with a long-term treatment of an advanced chronic disease.

Burning during ejaculation in men can occur against the background of cystitis. Many consider cystitis to be a purely female disease, but this is not at all the case. The acute stage of inflammation of the bladder is accompanied by severe burning pains, both during the release of seminal fluid and during urination. You can distinguish this ailment by such a basic feature as frequent urges. In between going to the toilet, a man may be disturbed by a constant feeling of discomfort in the penis, in the pubic area, and groin.

Pain in the lower abdomen and in the perineum, aggravated by urination or after sexual contact, is one of the main signs of urolithiasis. Their appearance is associated with the formation of kidney stones.

A characteristic feature of urolithiasis is an increase in the number of urges to urinate after physical exertion, shaking or long walking.

It is possible to get rid of unpleasant symptoms only after successful treatment of the disease that caused their appearance. At the same time, it is important to remember that delaying a visit to the doctor can cause a deterioration in the condition and, as a result, lead to a number of complications and problems, and self-diagnosis and the use of drugs in the vast majority of cases has negative and unpredictable consequences for a man’s health.

What does burning after ejaculation mean?

Burning after ejaculation is a rather unpleasant symptom. He gives a lot of anxiety to the representative of the stronger sex. Pain in the male genital area and burning after ejaculation quite often occur due to the presence of chronic inflammatory infectious diseases of the urogenital area.

Good day. Alexander Burusov, expert of the men's club "Viva Men" is writing to you. Today we will talk about the possible causes of a burning sensation that occurs immediately after intercourse.

But first, I would like to immediately note that if discomfort appears in the groin area, you should contact a urologist. The specialist will be able to establish the cause of a delicate problem in a man.

The main causes of pathology

So why do some members of the stronger sex experience pain after ejaculation? This pathology often appears when personal hygiene is not observed, urethritis (inflammation of the urethra).

It stretches during intimacy. Because of this, a man often has small cracks, which is why there is a burning sensation after ejaculation.

The cause of this phenomenon may also be cystitis. With inflammation of the bladder, the patient experiences severe pain in the region of the urethra. In people suffering from cystitis, there is also a burning sensation during urination.

In the presence of any venereal disease, cutting pains also appear both during intimacy and after sexual intercourse.

The patient's body temperature often rises, he complains of headaches.

Diagnostic measures

If a person feels discomfort after intimacy, he is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs, in addition, the patient must pass the appropriate tests. In some cases, the secret of the prostate gland is examined with a microscope.

To detect infections transmitted during sexual intercourse, a smear is taken from the walls of the urethra. After receiving the results of this study, the specialist selects effective medicines to eliminate the burning sensation during ejaculation in men.

Painful Intercourse Syndrome

Unpleasant sensations arising from intimacy can greatly overshadow a man's life. Many representatives of the stronger sex have the so-called syndrome of painful intercourse. It develops after several painful ejaculations.

A man suffering from painful intercourse syndrome tries to convince himself that he will experience unpleasant sensations after ejaculation. As a result, the patient gradually loses interest in intimate life, erection worsens, and sexual desire decreases.

Burning after ejaculation with candidiasis

Burning in the urethra after ejaculation also appears with a disease such as candidiasis. In the people, this disease is usually called thrush. The characteristic symptoms of candidiasis are:

• Pain after ejaculation.
• Itching around the head of the penis.
• Discomfort when urinating.
• The appearance of white plaque on the genitals.

Both partners infected with thrush should visit a doctor. They need to pass the appropriate tests and undergo a medical examination. After completing the treatment course, it is recommended to take the necessary tests again, even if the pain after ejaculation no longer bothers the patient.

Prostatitis as a possible cause of burning during intimacy

Pain after ejaculation can also be observed with prostatitis. Inflammation of the prostate can be infectious or non-infectious.

Infectious prostatitis is excited by various harmful microorganisms: these include chlamydia, gonococci. First of all, you need to treat the disease that caused prostatitis (for example, gonorrhea). Non-infectious prostatitis occurs due to weakened immunity, hypothermia, an inactive lifestyle, lack of physical activity.

The following main symptoms of the disease are distinguished:

• Problems with urination.
• Feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder.
• Double urination.
• Pain in the groin area.
• The appearance of discharge from the urethra.

With inflammation of the prostate in a man, erectile function worsens, the severity of sensations during sexual contact decreases. The disease can lead to the development of kidney failure, urolithiasis, inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system.

With prostatitis, the patient must follow a strict diet. Proper nutrition can reduce pain, normalize the work of the male genital organs. Urination usually improves after following a strict diet.

How does the inflammatory process in the testicles manifest itself?

In an inflammatory process in the testicles, a man's penis hurts, the scrotum swells and increases in size. Unpleasant sensations are often aggravated when walking, in conditions of prolonged stay in a sitting position. Many men experience pain when touching the scrotum.

Inflammation of the seminal vesicles is also accompanied by discomfort in the pelvic area. With this pathology, the volume of seminal fluid often decreases, itching and burning during urination appear. Additional signs of inflammation include fever, aching pain in the groin area.

To confirm the correctness of the diagnosis, a rectal examination is performed, the secret of the prostate is studied in the laboratory, and ultrasound is done.

Causes of burning after ejaculation and basic recommendations for treatment

Regardless of age, every man may experience a loss of previous sexual activity and a sharp deterioration in health.

Especially, the level of anxiety increases when the deviations that have arisen are associated with a weak erection, a reduced level of libido, or a short sexual intercourse.

In addition, even an unpleasant burning sensation after ejaculation can bring a lot of pain and worsen the quality of life.

A large number of patients with a strong burning sensation after ejaculation turn to urologists every day.In addition, due to the nature of the disease and the degree of its neglect, the level of discomfort may differ, due to which, at the first examination, an experienced specialist can determine the possible causes of the deviation. These indicators are very important, since only a correctly established diagnosis allows an effective course of treatment to be prescribed.

Every doctor knows that periodic burning in the urethra after ejaculation mainly occurs as a result of infection with an infectious disease. Due to the fact that all seminal fluid is ejected through the urethral canal, it is infections that can be the main provocateur of the manifestation of unpleasant sensations. This mainly applies to those men who often change sexual partners and do not use elementary contraceptives.

In addition to genital infections, a number of additional reasons can cause discomfort after ejaculation in men:

• allergic reactions;
• non-compliance with elementary hygiene rules;
• development of urethritis;
• disturbance of the general hormonal background;
• strong stress;
• hypothermia;
• abstinence from intimate relationships or, conversely, too long sexual intercourse;
• Injury to the frenulum (its tear or rupture) may be the result of too hectic intimate life. Accompanied by severe itching and discharge of blood from the urethra, bleeding is sometimes possible;
• In some cases, the main infectious focus may be in other organs, from where the inflammation spreads. Over time, pathogenic bacteria enter the genitourinary system and provoke inflammation;
• if there is not only a burning sensation in the urethra after ejaculation, but also after normal urination, the patient is more likely to suffer from a disease such as cystitis
• candidiasis (thrush). This fungal disease is accompanied by a characteristic burning sensation in the area of the foreskin and the very head of the penis, there is a burning sensation in the urethra after ejaculation and urination. If this disease was detected in one of the partners, both partners must undergo a full course of therapy;
• lowered immunity due to lack of vitamins and minerals;
• ureaplasmosis and mycoplasmosis. These two diseases also have symptoms such as burning after ejaculation in men and sharp pain during urination. Quite often in this case, the patient also has inflammation of the prostate itself.

Can prostatitis be the main cause of burning?

Quite often, men come to urologists who complain of severe pain in the testicles after ejaculation.

Burning during ejaculation in men can symbolize not only the presence of an infectious disease in the patient, but also indicate that there is inflammation in the genitourinary system. The main percentage of such inflammation occurs in the prostate, which ultimately provokes the development of prostatitis.

Inflamed (left) and healthy (right) prostate

Against the background of the development of prostatitis, a man experiences burning sensations after intimate contact, burning in the urethra in men after ejaculation, and even acute pain during urination. The disease itself is divided into two classes: non-infectious and infectious.

It is bacterial pathogens that cause a burning sensation in the case of infectious prostatitis. But in the case of non-infectious prostatitis, the manifestation of this kind of symptoms may indicate that the focus of inflammation is the prostate.

It is worth noting separately that the main symptoms of the development of prostatitis, in addition to the characteristic pain, include unusual discharge from the urethra and frequent urge to urinate.

But diagnosing any disease on your own is strictly prohibited, as there are many other pathologies with similar symptoms.

In rare cases, the focus of inflammation can be concentrated in the testicles. In this case, the patient may also experience similar symptoms as with prostatitis.

Disease diagnosis

Before starting treatment, it is very important to establish the causes that could provoke pain in the prostate after ejaculation and other painful sensations.

The doctor orders a complete examination of the patient. This kind of diagnostics consists of 4 mandatory methods:

If the doctor plans to continue antibiotic therapy, then the patient will be assigned an additional analysis - an antibiogram, to determine those components of the drug, due to which the patient may develop an allergic reaction.

At the end of the course of examination, the venereologist or urologist will select the appropriate course of therapy in accordance with the established diagnosis. Most often, this is the local or internal use of medications, physical procedures and alternative methods of treatment.In any case, only a specialist with many years of experience knows how to quickly and effectively get rid of unpleasant symptoms.

After the doctor was able to establish an accurate diagnosis, you can proceed to a full course of therapy.

Based on the nature of the disease, the urologist may prescribe the following therapies:

• treatment of the underlying disease that provoked the manifestation of unpleasant symptoms. For example: if prostatitis was diagnosed, then you need to initially overcome this disease in order to prevent the deterioration of the overall clinical picture;
• use of antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs if an infection has been detected;
• the use of effective ointments that allow you to quickly eliminate the burning sensation during ejaculation;
• abstinence from intimate relationships for a specified period in conditions of injuries, irritation and damage to the genital organs;
• seeking qualified help from a psychotherapist or psychologist if a patient has a very common erectile dysfunction.

Prevention

To prevent the occurrence of painful symptoms, such as burning and discomfort during ejaculation in men, you need to follow a few basic rules:

Any man will make a huge gift to his body if he regularly follows all the rules described. After all, those who have already experienced infection or inflammation of the genitourinary system know what unpleasant symptoms they are accompanied by.
