Why does male urethra sting when urinating?

Many male friends experience stinging pain when urinating in their daily life or work, but many men do not take it seriously, thinking that it is caused by getting angry or some other reasons, and do not pay special attention to it. In fact, this idea is very wrong. The stinging pain when urinating may be caused by a disease, or even some inflammation of the genitals. Let's read on with the editor below.

The main reasons for men to experience urinary stinging are as follows:

1. Urinary tract infection: The cause of painful urination in men may be related to urinary tract infection, such as some inflammation. In addition to urinary pain, urethritis also has some other symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, white dripping, redness and swelling, urethral stinging, urethral burning, hematuria, and dysuria. Urinary tract infection may have symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and urethral itching. There are many reasons for urinary tract infection, and the cause must be identified during treatment in order to treat the symptoms.

2. Urinary tract stones: Urinary tract stones are also the cause of urinary pain in men. Urinary tract stones are one of the most common urological diseases. Men are more likely to have them than women, about 4:1. The recurrence rate of urinary tract stones is high. If urinary pain is caused by urinary tract stones, minimally invasive treatment can be used to cure the stones, and the urinary pain will be resolved.

3. Non-gonococcal urethritis: Non-gonococcal urethritis is also the cause of stinging pain when urinating in men. Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), caused by non-gonococcal bacteria such as Chlamydia and Mycoplasma, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in China and abroad. The clinical manifestations of non-gonococcal urethritis mainly include: urinary pain, frequent urination, urethral discharge and urethral redness and swelling. Some patients may not have any symptoms.

4. Prostatitis, bladder tuberculosis, foreign bodies, advanced bladder cancer, etc.: Prostatitis, bladder tuberculosis, foreign bodies, advanced bladder cancer, etc. may also cause urinary pain. Urethritis often causes pain at the beginning of urination, and cystitis often causes worsening pain at the end of urination.

Therefore, stinging when urinating is not caused by getting angry as some male friends think. This symptom of stinging when urinating is not caused by a very serious disease, but if it is not treated in time, the condition will be relatively aggravated, and it is very likely that some other complications will occur. Therefore, male friends must seek timely treatment after experiencing this symptom.
