Burning after urination

About a month ago I had a burning sensation while I was urinating in the tip of my penis.  Afterwards there was blood coming out.  I went to the doctor and he prescribed me some antibiotics and a urine test (for chlymedia and gonnareah [spelling?]) for when I was done the antibiotcs.  I felt tired and sore, like I had a cold for the first few days of the antibiotics.  The blood and burning went away almost immediatly after I started the antibiotics.  Today the burning sensation came back along with blood after I finished urinating.  I don't quite know what to do about this.  My last sexual encouter was 4 years ago.

I have recently moved, about 2300 miles, from home and I am enrolled in a college program that is rather high stress.  I have been stressed out recently and my diet has be rather poor, even for a college student.  I haven't slept very well and I had to resort to energy drinks to keep up.  I plan on seeing a doctor in the next couple of days, I have a lot of work to catch up on.  Could the stress and poor diet contribute to something like this?

similar to me. after a course of antibiotcs i had to go back in for a stronger one. blood in urine is usually associated with a kidney infection or bad UTI. you should do what i do, skip the "regular" doctor, and go to a urologist

I have also noticed a slight numbness in my penis and a little discomfort just a little inwards from the base of my penis
