What Causes Prickly, Itching Feeling In Urethra After Ejaculation?

I have a prickly, itching feeling in my urethra after I ejaculate. This irritation only occurs afterwards, and doesn't start when I urinate. I don't have health insurance, so going to a doctor is kind've out of the picture. Any ideas what it could be?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have irritation in Urethra after ejaculation .

This is due to congestion of urethra .

During sexual activities when penis is erected there is increased blood flow to entire penis and urethra to the extent of 20 times more than normal blood flow to penis,

This results in increase congestion of entire penis including urethra that gives you pain and itching after ejaculation

Drink more water and pass urine immediately after sexual act..

.This is normal and nothing to be worried about.
