What causes urethral pain when urinating?

Some people feel a burning pain in the urethra or perineum when urinating, and the pain feels like someone is pricking them with a needle. Painful urination is a symptom, not a disease. There are many reproductive system diseases that have the symptom of stinging when urinating. Therefore, if you have this symptom, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to see what is causing it. So, what are the reasons for the symptoms of urethral pain when urinating?

1. If there is obvious stinging pain in the urethra at the beginning of urination, or if there is difficulty urinating, the lesion is mostly in the urethra, which is common in acute urethritis.

2. Difficult urination accompanied by urethral pain often indicates prostate hyperplasia in elderly men and can also be seen in urethral stones.

3. If there is stinging pain in the urethra at the end of urination and accompanied by urgency, the lesion is mostly in the bladder, which is common in acute cystitis.

4. If there is obvious stinging pain in the urethra at the end of urination, and the pain persists after urination, or there is a feeling of "empty pain", or the pain occurs even when not urinating, the lesions are mostly in the urethra or adjacent organs, such as trigone inflammation, prostatitis, etc.

5. Stinging or burning pain in the urethra during urination is often seen in acute inflammatory stimulation, such as acute urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and pyelonephritis.

Pain at the urethral opening is a sign of genitourinary infection. Therefore, male friends who experience pain at the urethral opening should go to the hospital for examination in time to identify the primary disease so as to receive symptomatic treatment. Inflammation such as urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis require timely anti-inflammatory treatment. Only by identifying the cause and treating it can the disease be cured and the symptoms of urethral pain be completely eliminated. Do not blindly take medicine on your own to relieve symptoms. Not only will it fail to achieve the treatment goal, but more seriously it will delay treatment, worsen the condition and cause more serious harm.

In short, if you want to prevent yourself from being troubled by reproductive system diseases, you must pay attention to protecting your health in your daily life. It is best to maintain personal hygiene every day, especially for women. You may as well wash your private parts with warm water every day to prevent the invasion of viruses and bacteria. In addition, it is best to change your underwear every day, and wash it promptly.
