"Question I have a problem: it stings when I urinate. This doesn&amp;#039;t happen all the time, usually one time in two, and when it does the sting it isn&amp;#039;t always painful. Even when it is &amp;#039;painful&amp;#039; it isn&amp;#039;t intolerable.  My urine colour is always normal, either clear or yellowy. Thinking back through a decade and more, I&amp;#039;ve always had it.  However, during the last two months last year I had chlamydia, and I am just not sure how long I may have had it.  My girlfriend never caught it from me (she had a culture test) but was also given medication and she took it for seven days as directed. I had 14 days of the same medication (doxycycline). Stinging/painful urination is a symptom of chlamydia, but I have had a sting since childhood, through puberty, through my &amp;#039;sexual era&amp;#039; and still have the sting now.  Despite this, I had chlamydia for only a month. The STD doctors I saw said it was probably just the effect of strong foods (curry for example) or drinks. Any advice, help or answers?  It otherwise does not bother me at all and has no effect on anything else such as peeing &amp;#039;performance&amp;#039; or sexual performance or general healthiness. Answer Stinging during urination is nearly always due to an infection. So it&amp;#039;s not surprising that you were diagnosed with chlamydia recently. But why might you have had stinging when you were younger? Well, maybe you had some infection then, but we&amp;#039;ll never know now.  Your letter appears to say that you&amp;#039;ve had some stinging since you were treated for chlamydia.  If that&amp;#039;s the case, then you should have a further test to see if any infection is still present.
