Clinical Information

As mentioned earlier, Dysuria is the medical term that healthcare professionals use when referring to painful urination. Painful urination is often described as burning or scalding.

Anyone can experience Dysuria, though women experience Dysuria more than men. This is because women are more susceptible to Urinary Tract Infections, and Dysuria is a symptom of Urinary Tract Infections. Pregnant women are also more vulnerable to having Dysuria. Diabetics and those with bladder-related diseases will likely experience pain when urinating.

This problem is a great cause for concern because the issues associated with Dysuria are severe and can become life-threatening in the long run if left unchecked and untreated.

Synonyms Include:

• Burning pain
• Dysuria-frequency syndrome
• Scalding pain on urination
• Painful micturation
