What causes painful urination in men?

When you urinate, you will feel pain in the urethra and bladder area, which is called dysuria. Generally, urethritis, urinary tract stones, cystitis, prostatitis and other diseases can cause dysuria. The cause of dysuria can be identified based on the characteristics of the pain, and then treated through training or medication.

Dysuria refers to pain in the urethra, bladder and perineum when urinating. The pain can be mild or severe, often with a burning sensation, and severe cases may feel like a knife cutting. Dysuria is common in urethritis, prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, seminal vesiculitis, cystitis, urinary tract stones, bladder tuberculosis, pyelonephritis, etc. The characteristics of dysuria can help to clarify the diagnosis of the disease.

(1) If there is obvious pain at the beginning of urination or dysuria, the lesion is mostly in the urethra, which is common in acute urethritis.

(2) Pain at the end of urination, combined with urgency, indicates that the lesions are mostly in the bladder, which is common in acute cystitis.

(3) If there is obvious pain at the end of urination, or if there is still pain after urination, or if there is a feeling of "empty pain", or if there is pain even without urination, the disease is mostly in the urethra or adjacent organs, such as trigone inflammation, prostatitis, etc.

(4) Sudden interruption of urination accompanied by pain or urinary retention: seen in bladder, urethral stones or urinary tract foreign bodies.

(5) Difficult urination accompanied by bloating and pain: This often indicates prostate hyperplasia in elderly men and may also be seen in urethral stones.

(6) Stinging or burning pain during urination: This is common in acute inflammatory conditions such as acute urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and pyelonephritis.

Take comprehensive prevention and control measures

Includes: 1. Bladder training therapy, which strengthens the nervous system's ability to control urination, reduces bladder sensitivity, and reverses abnormal urination habits.

2. Combined with drug treatment, for example: anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, analgesic, sedative, urine alkalizing and diuretic, etc.

3. For local medication, apply 2% silver nitrate to the urethra and bladder neck.

4. Block therapy: Block therapy is performed on the proximal urethra or bladder triangle.

5. Appropriate use of small doses of estrogen for treatment is also effective.
