Why does it hurt when I urinate?

Pain when urinating is most likely due to a urinary tract infection. It may also be related to catching a cold, drinking too little water, personal hygiene, etc. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs, keep warm and rest in daily life, drink plenty of water and urinate more. Also, pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum, eat a light diet, and avoid eating spicy, raw, cold and other irritating foods. If the pain is still obvious, it is recommended to go to the hospital for professional examination. Many diseases can cause stinging pain when urinating.

1. gonorrhea

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

2. Nongonococcal urethritis

Only thin white mucus may be non-gonococcal urethritis.

3. prostatitis

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