What Is The Cause Of Burning Sensation And Itching While I Urinate?

For about two weeks I ve had itching and occasional burning when I urinate. There has also been a couple of nights when I ached all over like the flu coming on but that gets better the next day. I m 49, married for 30 years. No sexual partners outside our marriage. Condition is driving me crazy.
