Burning in the prostate during ejaculation

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.

It is extremely unpleasant for a man to feel a burning sensation in the urethra after intimacy. This is a serious sign that may indicate the development of certain diseases in the body. Unpleasant sensations manifest themselves in different ways, a man may feel burning, itching or pain of varying intensity. This is an alarm signal, in case of which you should immediately contact a specialist.

In this case, a man needs the help of a psychologist to get rid of this feeling.

Very often, a man does not seek help from a specialist, thinking that the symptom will disappear on its own. As a result, his libido may decrease, erectile dysfunction and sexual dysfunction may occur.

Painful Intercourse Syndrome

Unpleasant sensations or discomfort during sexual intimacy greatly upset and ruin a man's life. Therefore, many have a syndrome of painful intercourse. Most often, it appears after several ejaculations, which were accompanied by painful sensations.

If a man suffers from this syndrome, he convinces himself that every intimacy will end for him with itching or burning. As a result, interest in intimate life gradually fades away, and against this background, erection worsens, sexual needs decrease.

Prostatitis as a cause of pain during ejaculation

This disease is also known as inflammation of the prostate gland. This disease is often diagnosed in men of different ages. The main symptom of which is pain during ejaculation.

There are several causes of prostatitis, so there are two forms:

Anatomy of the genitourinary system

• Infectious - viral, infectious or fungal in nature, transmitted during sexual intercourse. In this case, the disease is first diagnosed, after which treatment is prescribed.
• Infectious prostatitis - the development of this form of the disease can cause inflammation. Also, a passive lifestyle, bad habits, decreased immunity can cause the development of a non-infectious form of the disease.

The main symptoms of prostatitis:

• pain in the perineum, often radiates to other organs;

Main symptoms:

Itching and burning

If a man has been diagnosed with this disease, treatment is necessary for both partners, since the causative agent of candidiasis is sexually transmitted. After the course of treatment, it is necessary to retake the analysis for both the man and the woman so that a relapse does not occur.

Inflammation of the testicles, what symptoms appear

If an inflammatory process develops in the testicles, the penis hurts, the scrotum swells and enlarges. The painful symptom is aggravated while walking or if you spend a lot of time sitting.

Also, this disease is accompanied by an uncomfortable sensation in the area of the entire pelvic girdle. The amount of sperm decreases, itching and burning sensation in the urethra while visiting the toilet.

Do not engage in self-medication, as the causes of the symptom has a lot, and it is impossible to make an exact diagnosis yourself.

During the treatment period, it is better to refrain from sex contacts to complete recovery and disappearance of pain. In case the disease that caused the cause is transmitted by sexually, this is prohibited by doctors. Otherwise, treatment will be unsuccessful. With physical damage, pain will continue until full healing, and sex contacts can slow down this process.
