What are the situations in which you often have vaginal pain when urinating?

In daily life, the excretion of urine and feces is a normal physiological phenomenon and is not painful in itself. Not only that, we can also remove waste from our bodies through urination and defecation, which protects our health. When this process becomes painful, it becomes a pathological phenomenon. Next, let’s briefly talk about the situation where vaginal pain occurs when urinating.

Both men and women may experience genital pain when urinating, the most common causes are urinary tract infection and vaginitis. Can be caused by one alone, or the two can cross-infect each other. Further examinations are needed to clarify the treatment.

A urinary tract infection is an inflammation caused by bacteria directly invading the urinary tract. Pay attention to the history of diabetes, renal trauma, urinary system surgery and instrument examination, colitis or constipation, etc. Women should pay attention to their pregnancy and childbearing history, the relationship between the disease and pregnancy and menstruation, and whether they have gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease. The main clinical features are generally low back pain, frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating. There are more children than adults, more females than males among the patients, and the disease is prone to recurrence. 80% of the pathogenic bacteria that cause urinary tract inflammation are intestinal Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Streptococcus faecalis. Acute simple urinary tract infection is mostly caused by one pathogen.

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue. Due to the anatomical and biochemical characteristics of normal healthy women, the vagina has a natural defense function against the invasion of pathogens. Due to estrogen deficiency, young girls and postmenopausal women have a thin vaginal epithelium, reduced intracellular glycogen content, and a vaginal pH of around 7. Therefore, the vaginal resistance is low and they are more susceptible to infection than adolescents and women of childbearing age.

If urination pain occurs, it should be taken seriously and relevant examinations must be performed in a timely manner, and then further treatment should be continued in combination with relevant examinations. During the treatment, pay attention to prevent cross infection and maintain personal hygiene. At the same time, dietary conditioning is also very important, and spicy foods should be avoided. Carry out care as normal.
