Explanation

When you feel an itchy urethra after ejaculation, it might mean that the tube where urine comes out—the urethra—is irritated. One common reason is urethritis, which is an inflammation or infection. Bacteria from sexually transmitted infections or other sources can cause this irritation, leading to itching, burning, or even a discharge. Research has shown that many men attending clinics have experienced these symptoms due to different bacteria. It is important to note that many factors could be at play, such as allergic reactions, irritation from chemicals in soaps or lubricants or infection. If this problem happens a lot or persists, it is a good idea to talk with a healthcare provider so they can examine you and help figure out the cause and the best way to feel better.
