Causes of painful urination

The main symptom of stinging when urinating is inflammation, which is caused by sexual contact with people infected with Chlamydia and Mycoplasma.

If there is a mild feeling of heat in the anterior urethra, abnormal secretions flow out of the intestine, or symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain, difficulty urinating, and hematuria occur.

① Gonorrhea

If a large amount of thick purulent discharge is seen at the urethral opening, it may be gonorrhea.

② Non-gonococcal urethritis

Only thin white mucus may be non-gonococcal urethritis.

③Prostatitis

If there is only a small amount of discharge in the early morning or after urination, or even a small amount of grayish white mucus or purulent discharge is seen when squeezing the urethra, it may be prostatitis[1].

④Acute gonorrhea

Frequent urination, urgent urination, severe pain during urination, a burning sensation at the urethral opening, and even abnormal or persistent penile erection may be symptoms of acute gonorrhea.

⑤ Subacute gonorrhea

If there is inflammatory adhesion at the urethral opening and the urine flow is bifurcated like a fountain, it may be subacute gonorrhea.

How can we correctly prevent stinging when urinating in our daily life? The specific approach is: first of all, we should pay attention to our personal hygiene, and our sexual partners should also pay attention to their personal hygiene, and no unclean sexual behavior should be performed at any time. In addition, you should wash your underwear every day, and do not wash your underwear together with other clothes.
