Burning Urination - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

Hello I am new to this site...
Recently, about 2 weeks ago I began to have pain while urinating. It is a burning sensation and usually occurs if I do not urinate immediately after sex.
Also, after having sex with a condom I had the same burning sensation.
The symptoms are gone now but I am still worried what might have caused them.
I am a male (early 20s)
Thank you for your suggestions.

Well, it's a sign of an infection in your urinary tract. Most likely its a simple urinary tract infection (UTI) or it can be as serious as Gonorrhea. But you say you use a condom so it's probably a UTI which is easily treated with antibiotics. You do need to see a doctor though. UTI's are diagnosed with a urine sample.
