Painful urination (which doctors call dysuria) following ejaculation is a relatively common complaint among normal, healthy, and otherwise disease-free males in my experience. This kind of dysuria is typically benign; ie, it doesn't usually carry any long-term consequences. As far as I know, the exact mechanisms of dysuria following ejaculation are not known. Some have speculated that it involves a reflex mechanism that inhibits urination during sexual arousal; consequently, to urinate after sex requires pressures greater than normal, which may elicit pain. Another hypothesis is that prostate stimulation during sexual activity causes prostate swelling, which obstructs the prostatic urethra, the outlet of the bladder in males. As described above, this may increase the pressure required to urinate, causing pain with urination.

Whether you are experiencing benign dysuria cannot be determined over the internet. You should see a physician who can tell you with certainty whether the pain you are experiencing is harmless, or whether there could be an underlying disease process that needs investigating. In addition, you should ask your physician any questions you have about frequency of sexual activity, etc. Only she will be able to give you the proper guidance.
