What are the possible causes of severe pain in the glans penis and urethra that occurs specifically at the start and end of urination, following recent treatment for a urinary tract infection?
Dealing with the pain must be uncomfortable, especially after finishing your UTI treatment. Since the discomfort occurs specifically at the start and end of urination, it is often due to residual irritation or inflammation in the urethra as the muscles contract. Other possibilities include a persistent infection that wasn't fully cleared by the antibiotics, or a localized urethral spasm. Please don't worry, as these issues are very common and highly treatable. I gently recommend reaching out to your healthcare provider for a quick follow-up urine test to find the exact cause and help you get comfortable again.
