Burning Urination
Understanding burning during urination, causes, and effective treatments
What is Burning Urination?
Burning urination, also known as dysuria with burning sensation, is a common urinary symptom characterized by a painful, hot, or stinging sensation during urination. This uncomfortable sensation occurs when urine passes through an inflamed, irritated, or infected urethra or bladder. The burning can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, or blood in the urine. It is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical attention for urinary complaints.
