Feeling a burning sensation while urinating or after it can be a common problem, but ignoring it can be costly at times. This problem can be a sign of a serious disease. Especially if this problem is recurring and persists for a long time, you should consult a doctor immediately.
Burning sensation during urination can be caused due to many reasons, out of which three serious diseases can be mainly responsible. Let us know what these diseases are and what their symptoms can be.
1. Urinary tract infection (UTI)
The most common cause of a burning sensation when urinating is a urinary tract infection (UTI). This infection can occur in any part of the urinary system (such as the kidneys, bladder or ureters). UTI infections are more common in women than men. Other symptoms may include frequent urination, foul-smelling urine and lower abdominal pain.
2. Kidney stones
If you feel a burning sensation while urinating, this can also be a sign of kidney stones. Kidney stones are small mineral and salt particles that start accumulating in the kidneys. The stone causes a blockage in the urinary tract, which causes burning and pain while urinating. Apart from this, severe pain in the lower back and bleeding in the urine can also be symptoms of stones.
3. Sexually transmitted diseases
Another serious cause of burning sensation while urinating can be sexually transmitted diseases. Especially if you are affected by sexually transmitted diseases (STIs), this symptom can appear. Diseases like gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause burning sensation while urinating. Apart from this, itching in the vagina or penis, abnormal discharge and pain during intercourse can also be other symptoms of these diseases.
Other possible causes of bleeding after urination
dehydration : Lack of water can also cause burning sensation while urinating.
diabetes : Diabetic patients have a higher risk of urinary tract infections.
Inflammation of the bladder: A condition called cystitis causes inflammation of the bladder, which can cause a burning sensation during urination.
When to contact a doctor?
If along with burning sensation you are urinating frequently, there is blood in urine, stomach pain or fever then these signs can be serious. In such a situation, contact the doctor immediately and get all the necessary tests done.
