What causes painful urination in men?

I believe everyone has experienced this situation. When you want to urinate, you suddenly feel a stinging pain in the urethra. This is especially true for some men, who are more likely to experience this. It not only affects their daily lives, but may even affect their reproductive ability. Therefore, the pain of urinating in men needs to be taken seriously and it is best to seek treatment in time.

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 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.

Prostatitis can also cause pain during urination, and the pain is most obvious at the end of urination. After urination, the pain is still felt, similar to the feeling of "empty pain".

In summary, when men experience urinary pain, they should actively cooperate with the examination to confirm what disease is causing it. Generally speaking, the first thing to do is to do a routine urine test to check whether there are abnormalities such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and pus cells in the urine, which can help determine the cause of urinary pain. Then, combined with its clinical symptoms, it can be judged whether it is caused by other diseases.

It is recommended that men should pay attention to their living habits, do not always smoke and drink, and try to reduce social activities as much as possible. Smoking and drinking are very harmful to men. They must also pay attention to rest and do not always stay up late. Appropriate physical exercise can not only strengthen the physical fitness, but also improve the body's immunity.
