I experienced burning pain in the urethra for 5 days after using lubricant for the first time with my partner. The pain is accompanied by symptoms like the urge to pee even after urination, some dripping, and a few-second delay before urine comes out. I also feel mild pain around the testicle area and some gland pains. The urine test was negative, but I was prescribed antibiotics.
