Pain during urination – the causes of occurrence, in which diseases it occurs, diagnosis and methods of treatment.

Pain during urination is a symptom of a number of diseases and should be the reason for a thorough examination.

Types of pain

In most cases, pain is caused by diseases of the genitourinary system: infections, urolithiasis, inflammatory and tumor processes. Depending on the cause of the pain, its character can be sharp (piercing), cutting, pulling (aching). Pain may occur before the onset of urination, at the time of the appearance of the first portion of urine, or at the end of urination. In some diseases, pain during urination may radiate to other areas (lower back, perineum, lower abdomen).

Possible causes

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are one of the most common causes of painful urination.

Urogenital chlamydia is an infectious disease caused by chlamydia. In men, chlamydia occurs in the form of urethritis. Sometimes the disease does not give obvious symptoms, but often there is itching in the urethra, moderate discharge and minor cramps when urinating. Chlamydia can be accompanied by other STIs (most often gonorrhea).

Chlamydial infection can cause the development of prostatitis, and then the symptoms characteristic of urethritis are combined with pain in the perineum, sacrum and rectum and are aggravated by prolonged sitting.

Violation of the functions of the genitourinary apparatus is accompanied by frequent and painful urge to urinate, partial urinary retention and sexual dysfunction.

In women, urogenital chlamydia is more often asymptomatic, only in the acute form pain, burning and increased urge to urinate (urethrocystitis) are noted.

Gonorrheal urethritis is accompanied by more severe symptoms. In women, abundant discharge appears, urination is accompanied by burning and itching in the vagina. If left untreated, gonococci spread through the genitourinary tract and reach the fallopian tubes, causing lower abdominal pain, fever, frequent painful urination, and menstrual irregularities. The first sign of gonorrhea in men is itching and burning sensation in the area of ​​the external opening of the urethra. Scanty greyish sticky discharge comes out of the urethra. Urination is painful, accompanied by a burning sensation throughout the urethra.

Trichomoniasis is a group of STIs that cause pain when urinating. The causative agents of the disease – Trichomonas – live in men in the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, and in women – in the vagina. In women with trichomoniasis, the vagina (colpitis), cervix (cervicitis) become inflamed

and paraurethral glands. In men, the urethra (urethritis) and the prostate gland (prostatitis).

Other infections of the urogenital tract in women include fungal diseases (candidiasis, or thrush). Opportunistic microorganisms also multiply in the vagina, causing pain during urination and during intercourse.

In women, severe pain when urinating occurs when the bladder becomes inflamed (cystitis). The cause of infectious cystitis can be Escherichia coli, less often – staphylococci.

The short and wide urethra facilitates the easy penetration of infection from the vagina and periurethral region into the bladder.

E. coli enters the bladder through the urethra and attaches to its epithelium with the help of villi. The disease develops very quickly and is accompanied by pulling pains in the lower abdomen and an increase in the frequency of urination day and night. Emptying the bladder is accompanied by pain and spasms, especially at the end of urination. Characterized by false urge to urinate, which become debilitating. In acute cystitis, blood may appear in the urine.

If in women the most common cause of pain during urination is cystitis, then in men this symptom appears with inflammation of the prostate gland – prostatitis. The disease can occur as a result of the herpes simplex virus, gonococci, Trichomonas or fungi entering the body.

However, when the process is chronic, the causative agent of the disease is often not detected.

Pain in prostatitis, as a rule, is given to the sacrum, perineum, especially to the scrotum. Their intensity can vary from barely noticeable aching pains to pronounced ones. Pain may increase with defecation, ejaculation and urination after intercourse. Accompanying symptoms in this case are frequent urge to urinate, especially at night, difficulty urinating, increasing pain with prolonged sitting.

Non-infectious causes of pain during urination include urolithiasis. In the presence of stones in the bladder, pain occurs in the lower abdomen, which can radiate to the perineum, genitals. It can be aggravated by movement and urination. During the discharge of urine, interruption of urination is possible if the bladder is not completely emptied. A fragment of the stone, passing through the urethra, injures the walls of the urethra, which is accompanied by piercing pain and the appearance of blood in the urine.

Possible causes of pain during urination include neoplasms of the bladder, prostate, and urethra (polyps). When the tumor is located at the bottom of the bladder, it can partially block the urethra, causing pain and difficulty passing urine. A similar situation occurs with tumors of the prostate. In case of bladder cancer, pain can not only accompany the passage of urine, but also be of a permanent nature with localization in the suprapubic region and irradiation (recoil) to the perineum, sacrum, and lumbar region.

Diagnostics and examinations

Any pain that occurs during urination or is localized in the genital area requires a visit to a doctor.

Primary information about the cause of the disease can be obtained by passing a general clinical analysis of urine. General urinalysis (Urine analysis with sediment microscopy)

Method of determination

Determination of physical and chemical parameters is carried out on an automatic analyzer using the “dry chemistry” method.

The presence of leukocytes in the urine indicates inflammatory and infectious processes, erythrocytes indicate tumors, stones or inflammation of the urinary tract. Normally, urine is sterile, so the visualization of bacterial cells during microscopic examination may indicate the infectious nature of the disease.

as well as growth of bacterial culture on nutrient media will help confirm the diagnosis. To clearly determine the localization of the infection of the lower urinary tract in men, it is necessary to analyze not only urine, but also prostate secretion. Difficulties can cause the diagnosis of chlamydial infection. To detect chlamydia, a direct immunofluorescence method using monoclonal antibodies to chlamydia and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used.

You can diagnose urolithiasis by examining the urine sediment and examining the structure of the stone. Link to list of studies. Tumor formations are detected using ultrasound, cystoscopy and urography. If a tumor is found, a biopsy can help confirm the diagnosis. In bladder cancer, the diagnosis is clarified by cytological examination of fresh urine sediment.

Which doctors should I contact?

If you experience pain or discomfort during urination, you should immediately contact your general practitioner, urologist or venereologist. Only after a thorough history taking, palpation examination, and taking into account the results of a general urine test, the therapist or urologist, if necessary, can refer the patient to an oncologist.

What should I do if I have pain when urinating?

Personal hygiene is essential for the prevention of urinary tract infections. For any symptoms, sexual intercourse should be excluded for the duration of treatment, hypothermia and serious physical exertion should be avoided.

Treatment

Treatment of urinary tract infections with antibiotics should be based on the type and resistance of microorganisms. The duration of treatment should be at least 72 hours. With urethritis, antibiotic therapy should be supplemented with nonspecific immunotherapy.

Treatment of cystitis is successful only with an integrated approach.

In addition to antibiotics, uroselective anticholinergics that reduce urination, and the use of herbal diuretics and antiseptics can be recommended.

In case of urolithiasis, the tactics of treatment is determined by the localization and size of the stone. As a rule, the removal of stones is carried out surgically. The exception is stones formed by uric acid derivatives, which undergo dissolution. One of the main components of treatment is diet. Tumor formations require surgical intervention.
