Dr. Sam Brancato answered

Specializes in Urology

Varies: What is the person's age? Does it occur with urination or not related to voiding? How long has the burning been present? Is there any redness or irritation visible?

Sounds like: urethritis. Get it checked out because it could be an std, especially if you see any discharge.
