Brief Answer:
? UTI
Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
A burning sensation after urination is the most common presentation of Urinary Tract Infection.
You are very likely suffering from one.
A bacterial infection of the bladder or urethra is the most common cause of UTI.
You should visit your clinician who would get your urine tests (Routine urinalysis and culture-sensitivity) and blood work( like CBC -if needed) done.
Usually an empirical antibiotic course is started,which is revised after procuring the culture report.
Time being,you should have plentiful oral fluids and water and stay hydrated,drink cranberry juice and lemon juice,have commercially available urinary alkalizers,have probiotics,maintain good perineal hygiene and practice safe sex.
Urinate whenever the need arises and don't hold urine for long periods as this promotes bacterial growth.
Hope that I have answered your query.
If there are any doubts,please let me know.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
