I also forgot to mention that when I take medication that says, "Do
not take this if you have difficulty in urination due to enlargement
of the prostate gland," I then have difficulty.. but not otherwise.

I think you posted this before and several people commented on it. A
urologist would be needed to do studies.
Burnig on urination with dysuria can involve a variety of conditons so
it doesn't do any good to guess. If it's an STD or infection then you
would want to get it fixed right away.
Sometimes it's a stricture in the urethra or in the bladder outlet but
this would occur all the time.
PDF file on prostatodynia is one of them and other possibilities are
out there can give bladder neck problems post ejaculatory. The muscle
closes down the bladder to prevent urine flow and allow ejaculation.
Some of these people don't urinate right after ejaculating and wait
awhile to avoid the burning and abnormal pressure outlet problems.
They just fight the urge and wait.

A urological consult is in order.

I haven't posted on this. I created this account just to make this
post. Thanks for the answers though.
So from what I understand it's either an infection, or a problem with
the muscle? And if so, I may have to just live with it? I read the
article but I'm not well versed in medical terminology. Thanks
again.

Nothing has been ruled out and so I wasn't implying to live with it
without finding out first what it is. There are other things out there
I haven't mentioned and would be pointless to go on about what it could
be. Once a diagnosis is made then there are things that may help in
treatment. There really isn't any good substitute for a doctor.
Prostate problems are so common that men need to get educated with the
whole thing.

jars, he isn't saying you "just have to live with it." He offered some
possibilities of what it *could* be and suggested (several times) you
see a urologist. Treatment may completely relieve your symptoms or make
you much more comfortable; there's no way to know for sure until you're
examined by a doctor.
Many of us are uncomfortable visiting doctors, especially if the doctor
has to examine "private parts." So if you feel that way, you're normal.
Sometimes it helps to bear in mind that doctors, and especially
those--like urologists and gynocologists--who examine genitals, urinary
tract, and reproductive anatomy every day are not thinking about your
body in a sexual way, are aware you may be uncomfortable, and will do
whatever they can to make the visit less stressful for you.
My husband has had to see a urologist a few times, and was concerned at
first that he might get an erection from stimulation during the exam.
That didn't happen. I think the anxiety he felt probably minimized any
potential for that happening. But if it had, I'm sure it's something
the doctor had seen before, would know it wasn't caused by sexual
attraction to him, and would have dealt with in way that made my
husband feel reassured and less embarrassed.
I'm not saying this is your concern; I only mention it because it's
such a common and normal fear.
I have to have lab work this month, and am really dreading it because
I'm terrified of needles (might sound silly for a grown woman to admit,
but it's true). In order to get through it, I try to remember that it's
a short moment in my life, that my fear and discomfort will pass, the
experience will soon be behind me, and that I'll probably survive. I'll
bet you will too. ;)
Please take Robert's advice and see a urologist. In the end, you'll be
glad you did.
