Highly acidic urine may burn. Making the urine more alkaline may help. This is why diluting it works too.

Try taking some sodium bicarb and see if that helps.

This article explain pH of urine.

This one is OTC:

Use carefully, since this contains potassium. If you have any heart condition or use Aldactone or Dyazide, you should not use this product. Only use if you have normal kidney functions.

You can try finding some pH papers and test your urine to see if it is acidic.

The above link shows what they look like. Some pharmacies will order them for you.

There are some health conditions that cause burning urination...most of them are serious and would show up in blood work at the doctors.
One of them is neutropenia -- low white cells. Have you given a urine specimen at the doctor's?
