Pain when urinating
Painful urination can occur in many women. The pain can be very mild but also very painful and burning. It can be that you suffer from it occasionally, or very often. Pain or irritation when urinating can have various causes. At Women's Healthcare Center we help to discover and solve the problem.
Causes of Painful Urination
There can be several causes for painful urination. It can occur with multiple conditions. Some examples are:
Bladder infection
Painful urination is often caused by a bladder infection. This often involves having to urinate very often and having to urinate small amounts. This involves pain. You will be given medication for this.
Candida / yeast infection
Candida is a vaginal yeast infection. This is often accompanied by excessive discharge. In this case, you will receive antifungal medication.
Chlamydia / STD
An STD such as Chlamydia causes pain when urinating. The STD can be accompanied by sores near or on the vagina. Most STDs are caused by viruses and bacteria. Antibiotics can help with this.
Blood in urine
Blood in the urine can indicate damage to the kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra. Sometimes the blood looks bright red and in some cases brownish. Often there is little blood present and it is not completely visible.
These are the most common causes of painful urination. At Women's Healthcare we look for the actual cause and solution for it.
