Hello, I am 8 weeks post RP surgery and am having the same burning issue with my penis. I did have a UTI but that has been resolved and have had multiple negative tests since. I also have pain that radiates into my penis when I sit on hard surfaces as well.
My Dr wanted me to get a CT scan to rule out any infections, ascites, fluid buildup, or lymphadenopathy. Results were all negative.
I also have a very active bladder and urine frequently. I believe I have a stricture in my urethra as my flow is weak and breaks into two streams. I go to have a Cystoscopy in 4 weeks for an official diagnosis. I am currently chalking the burning sensation to a potential stricture. I don't know what else it could be... Maybe I need more time to heal. I am 52 years old.

OMG I am having same issue. I need to talk to you. I m worried . I do not want Cystoscopy because of pain in penis. It will cause more pain to me. My MRI is negative. I pass my urine ok if i drink lots of water. Take AZO it helps to me . But it comes back. Keep me up date on this please. I m concerned about cystitis or nerve pain. Avoid acidic food or drinks. Drink more alkaline like baking soda powder and heat compresses. Thanks

Sounds to me like it's a pain from the catheter. My undercarriage was sore for a month afterward. Felt like the part between my anus and scrotum was hard like a stiff tube. Hang in there guy, will probably clear up but do what your doctor advises.
