Dysuria or Painful Urination
Dysuria is discomfort or pain during urinating. Urinary frequency is not the cause of dysuria, but it frequently occurs in conjunction with it. Dysuria is not a medical condition. Instead, it is a sign of a deeper medical problem.
Although the symptoms of painful urination can differ between men and women, both sexes commonly describe it as burning, stinging, or itching. The most frequently reported is burning. Urination can be uncomfortable at both its onset and its conclusion. Pain at the start of urination is a symptom of urinary tract infections. Pain after urinating could be a sign of a prostate or bladder problem. Men may experience pain before urinating and after. Diverticulitis, diverticulosis, prostate illness, and cancer are other conditions that can cause painful urination in males.
Treating dysuria is based on the underlying cause of the pain and burning sensation. Finding out whether an infection, inflammation, dietary issues, or bladder or prostate problems is causing painful urination is the first stage in the therapy process. Antibiotics are typically used in the management of UTIs. In cases of extreme pain, phenazopyridine may be prescribed.
