Why Is The Burning Sensation In The Penis Still There Even After Taking Medication For UTI?

I was experiencing some burning sensation and feeling like I needed to urinate. I was told that I have a urinary tract infection. Had the dip test and a culture done...both negative. I was put on cipro and another med to eleviate the pain. It has been a week today, and though I don t feel that burning/tingling like before, I am feeling the tingling sensation at the tip of penis still. I m not finished taking my cipro tabs yet, and of course will do so. What can I expect? Thanks so much. John
