Burning in the urethra

Burning in the urethra is equally common in both men and women. This may be a symptom of sexually transmitted diseases, serious inflammation and even tumors.

If the burning lasts more than a day and all attempts to relieve sensations are vain, while there are discharges from the urethra, symptoms resembling the flu, all this may indicate a serious development of the disease. In this case, you should immediately visit a urologist.

Possible causes of burning and pain in the urethra:

1. Chlamydia is a venereal disease that is transmitted sexually and damages the urethra and all the organs of the small pelvis. The disease may not have obvious symptoms.

3. Urethritis - a disease of the urinary canal, which gives pain and burning sensation in the urethra. Unpleasant sensations can arise as with urination, and constantly. If the pain is not too strong and constant, then, most likely, these are signs of chronic inflammation.

Accompanied by unpleasant symptoms: dull pain and heaviness in the bladder, burning in the urethra in both men and women, frequent urges and a feeling of fullness of the bladder. The disease can be provoked by other infections, fungi, bacteria, E. coli. Provided that there are no additional provoking infections, cystitis is treated with antibiotics. As a rule, the symptoms immediately go away, but to fix the result you need to drink the course prescribed by the doctor. Cystitis is more susceptible to women than men.

6. Urolithiasis - the formation of stones in any part of the genitourinary system. The disease can develop in both adults and children. When urinating, pain or burning in the urethra may appear.
