Why does a man feel a stinging pain in his urethra when he urinates?

Some male friends may have experienced a stinging sensation at the urethra when urinating. In this case, most of the reasons are prostatitis or urethritis. For such diseases, as long as they are treated early, there will be no serious consequences.

Causes of painful urination in men

1. Prostatitis

If you are a driver, IT professional or someone who often sits to work, and you have experienced lower abdominal discomfort before and after urinating with stinging pain, and often have secretions from the urethra after squeezing, then you may have prostatitis and need to go to the hospital immediately to collect prostatic fluid and culture it for diagnosis.

2. Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea or condyloma acuminatum

If you have a history of unclean sexual behavior and then experience stinging pain when urinating, increased urethral discharge, rashes and bumps on the penis, the most likely problem is a sexually transmitted disease such as gonorrhea or genital warts.

3. Inflammation of the urethra or bladder

If the stinging pain occurs at the beginning of urination and sometimes there is difficulty in urination, it is likely to be urethritis; if the pain occurs before the end of urination, it may be bladder inflammation. The above problems need to be confirmed by urine tests.
