Burning during urination and after intercourse may be caused by a urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted infection, or irritation. Drink plenty of water, avoid irritants such as perfumed soaps, and consult a doctor for proper testing and treatment. Do not try to self-medicate.

Recurrent infections on the foreskin can affect sperm quality or fertility if untreated. Treat the infections promptly with your doctor, practice safe sex, and get checked for sexually transmitted diseases. Once infections are cleared, they are less likely to affect your plans for having a child.
