Why does it hurt when men urinate?

I believe that many people have experienced pain when urinating, and it is more common in men. Most men who experience pain when urinating usually think that it is caused by prostatitis. In fact, this view is rather one-sided. There are many factors that may cause pain when urinating in men, including not drinking water and bad living habits. Let me share with you why men have pain when urinating.

From the production of urine to its smooth excretion from the body, the entire process requires the normal and complete cooperation of several different organs and tissues to complete. First of all, the kidneys are the body's filters, which can separate the body's unwanted waste from the blood and produce urine to facilitate the excretion of these wastes. Urine is injected from the kidneys into the bladder through a long tube (the ureter). When it accumulates to a certain amount, the fully stretched bladder wall will send a signal to the brain, and the brain will send another signal to tell you that it is time to urinate. If you ignore it and hold it in, the signal will continue to bother you and even wake you up from your sleep. The longer you hold it in, the more uncomfortable you will feel. If the situation allows, the urine in the bladder must be drained. In order to urinate normally, some muscles must be contracted and some muscles must be relaxed. Only by working together can the process be completed smoothly. Urine is discharged from the body through the urethra (the only channel connecting the bladder to the outside world). From this, we can see that such a simple action has such a complicated process.

If you feel pain when you urinate, it may be due to some kind of infection in the urinary system. For women, the most likely cause is bladder infection leading to cystitis; for men, it is more likely to be an infection of the prostate. Regardless of the cause, an active (active) urinary tract infection will not only cause pain to the patient, but also fever and shivering (chills).

Most people can pinpoint the exact location of the infection simply by noting the location and timing of the pain. For example, if you feel a burning sensation when you urinate, as if you are passing hot water, but you are actually urinating! Then the problem may be in the urethra. But if the pain comes after you have finished urinating, then the problem may be in the bladder.

Doctors will take urine samples for bacterial culture to diagnose the cause and prescribe the correct antibiotics for the patient.

For men, if urination is painful and the urine flow seems to be very small, the force of the urine is also weak, and sometimes even scattered, it may be that the urine is blocked in some way during the flow. This situation is mostly caused by an enlarged prostate. However, it may also be caused by a neurological problem that paralyzes the muscles that control the bladder function.

At the same time, you should also check your urine. If there is obvious blood in the urine, then the most likely thing is that you have kidney stones, tumors, or a serious infection somewhere in the urinary system. Urine that looks very clear to the naked eye may actually have an infection; on the contrary, urine that looks cloudy may just be caused by the phosphate minerals contained in the diet, which is a normal phenomenon.

After reading the above article I introduced to you about why men have pain when urinating, are you now clear about it? In fact, good living habits in daily life and drinking more water are conducive to detoxification, which are helpful for the treatment of painful urination. In addition, you should also choose a regular hospital for treatment and must not blindly use medicine or folk remedies. I wish you good health.
