I would like to know your age and whether you are suffering from diabetes. Do you have any raw areas over the penis or foreskin?
Advice
1. Get blood sugars checked.
2. wash the genitalia with mild soap and water after intercourse.

4. Use a condom till the condition settles down.
5. drink plenty of water.
6. Consider a mild urinary antibiotic if there is persistent burning sensation.
