What to do if it hurts when you urinate?

Both men and women have urethra. And they all need to take good care of their urethra. After all, the urethra is an important excretory organ of the human body. And you should know that the male urethra not only has the function of urination, but also has the function of ejaculation. Once infected, there are often different degrees of urinary pain. What is the reason for men's urinary pain? Let's take a look.

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 often seen in acute inflammatory conditions, such as acute urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and pyelonephritis. The above are symptoms of painful urination. I don’t know which one you are experiencing. The safest way is to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine what the problem is, and then prescribe the right medicine.

The symptom of painful urination in men is actually very common. It is recommended that men do not worry too much when they have the problem of painful urination. In fact, it is not an incurable disease. At this time, in order to recover, the patient needs to actively cooperate with the examination to confirm what disease is causing it.
