Irritation?: can get irritation of the urethra from new soaps, lotions, underwear, laundry detergent, fabric softener and other items. Might consider this as a possible cause for the discomfort you're experiencing. If symptoms continue, please be sure to follow with your doctor for further evaluation. Hope this helps.
