Why does it hurt when a man urinates?

Many men have found that they have a problem, that is, they feel pain after urinating, but they are unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment. So what is going on? Let's take a look at the introduction below.

Urethritis

Urethritis refers to the invasion of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens into the urethra, which causes inflammation, irritation to the urethra, and affects urination. It is the main cause of urination pain. Male patients in the acute stage of urethritis will also have purulent secretions. A smear of the secretions or a urine bacterial culture can be done to confirm which pathogen is causing it.

Cystitis

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder. It is mostly caused by infection in the urethra that goes back to the bladder. Therefore, cystitis is often associated with chronic urethritis. When urinating, the bacteria-laden urine in the bladder stimulates the urethra, which causes a noticeable burning sensation, pain during urination, lower abdominal pain at the end of urination, cloudy urine, and sometimes hematuria.
