A member asked:

When infected with herpes, how long does burning urine last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

As long as...: ...The herpes episode lasts, which is usually several days. But burning on urination can be due to other causes, such as gonorrhea. If you are not sure that it is due to herpes, and particularly if you also have swelling or a discharge, see your doctor for a culture.
