Painful urination (dysuria) is a burning or stinging sensation during urination. It is commonly associated with urinary tract infections, especially in women. Other possible causes include sexually transmitted infections, kidney stones, and irritation from soaps or hygiene products.
See a doctor if no improvement
See a doctor if painful urination lasts more than a day, is accompanied by fever, back or side pain, blood in the urine, or unusual discharge. Prompt treatment of urinary tract infections can prevent more serious complications. When in doubt, consult a physician.
