Normally, the process of urination is not accompanied by any physiological discomfort, the urine flow is continuous and full. Urine gradually accumulates in the bladder, and then comes out naturally, without causing any inconvenience. On the contrary, after urinating a man feels a pleasant relief. But sometimes, under certain specific circumstances, there is burning sensation when urinating in men . Such a sign often indicates the development of many diseases, so it can not be left without due attention.
Burning sensation
In general, the burning sensation refers to dysuria - this concept implies any discomforting sensations associated with soreness in the urination process such as tingling, burning or cutting pain. And such manifestations appear only when the bladder is emptied.
Burning sensations are characterized by unpleasant sensations like:
- Painful sensation in the groin, testicles or perineum;
- There is unpleasant discomfort in the lower abdomen;
- In the process of moving urine through the urethra, a burning sensation arises.
Usually, burning with urination in men begins suddenly, accompanied by burning soreness. The man intolerably wants to urinate, at the beginning of this process and painful carvings occur, which can disappear immediately after the end of emptying or lasts a little longer. In this case, discomfort can give pain to the genitals, lower back or perineum. Urination itself may be inadequate, when too little urine is released.
Attention! Regardless of the form of manifestation of the burning symptom, it is necessary to consult with the urologist, since procrastination can lead to the neglect of the pathological process, the erectile function and other unpleasant consequences.
The main causes of burning
Urologists identify a whole group of factors that contribute to a burning sensation when emptying the bladder:
- Urinary infections such as prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis, etc.;
- Pathologies of a venereal origin or sexually transmitted;
- Urolithiasis and its variants are urolithiasis, renal stone, cholelithiasis, passage of concrements along the urinary tract;
- Tumor processes;
- Phimosis;
- Pubic lice;
- Gout;
- Irritation of the genitals and urethral opening due to condom use, means of intimate hygiene, reaction to underwear;
- Renal pathologies like pyelonephritis or glomerulonephritis, etc.;
- Neglect of intimate hygiene.
Most often, such a syndrome is a consequence of inflammatory pathologies of the genitourinary system, urolithiasis and pathologies transmitted with unprotected sexual contact. Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider these factors in more detail.
To all the fault prostatitis
Often the occurrence of a burning sensation occurs due to inflammation of the prostate, in other words, prostatitis. Such a pathology can develop against the background of repeated supercooling, the lack of regularity in sexual life, urogenital infections, colds, hypodynamia, etc. In addition to burning in patients with prostatitis, the following symptoms are observed:
- Increased urinary frequency;
- Painful feeling in the rectum, perineum, groin and testicles, penis;
- Erectile Dysfunction;
- The presence of blood in the urine;
- Painful-pulling sensation in the abdomen below;
- Discontinuous jet upon urination.
If, in the event of such a symptomatology, a man does not hurry to the urologist and does not receive proper treatment, the pathological process is complicated by various incidental disorders.
Warning! If the burning sensation against a background of prostatitis does not begin to be treated in a timely manner, then the pathology will lead to infertility, erectile dysfunction, pyelonephritis, vesiculitis, epididymorchitis, etc. A completely neglected prostatic inflammatory process is fraught with the development of prostate cancer.
Treatment of prostatitis is based on antibiotic therapy, physiotherapy, prostate massage and immunostimulatory therapy.
If the urethra
has inflamed Often burning during the process of urination appears due to inflammation that has arisen on the walls of the urethra( urethritis).This pathology usually develops due to penetration into the urethra of various pathogenic microorganisms such as mycoplasma, chlamydia or trichomonas, staphylococcal agent, etc. The lesion occurs during inflammatory diseases of other organs, during sexual intercourse, during hypothermia, etc. Often urethritis develops secretly, and whenunder the influence of some factors, the immune barriers decrease, the disease starts to manifest with burning and other symptoms like:
- Itching sensation on the head of the hene and inside it;
- Inflammatory manifestations on flesh and head;
- Painful stool;
- Violations of urination;
- Allocations of mucous or purulent origin, occasionally with spotting.
The danger of untreated urethritis is the further spread of inflammation on an ascending principle from the urethra to the scrotum, testicles, appendages, prostate, etc. The basis of therapy is immunostimulating and antibiotic therapy, the administration of antiseptic and anti-inflammatory solutions to the urethra. Early treatment guarantees a quick and definitive release from an unpleasant pathology.
Urolithiasis
Urination may be accompanied by burning in the case of exacerbated urolithiasis. A similar pathological process is characterized by stone formation in the urinary system. Pathology develops due to metabolic disorders and under the influence of changes in the structure of the blood.
The onset of an exacerbation is accompanied by a sharp pain in the lumbar region. At movement of the patient morbidity only amplifies. Pain syndrome radiates into various parts of the body:
- Into the genitals;
- Lower abdomen;
- Rectum, etc.
Along with pain, a man notes a frequent desire to run to the toilet, and with urination there is a burning sensation. Urine often has a reddish tint, because as you move along the urinary tracts, stones accrue their walls.
Tactics of treatment can be based on a conservative and surgical approach. Sometimes drugs are prescribed to dissolve stones, and if the calculus blocks the passage and obstructs the urine flow, it is surgically removed. Equally important and nutrition, requiring the patient to strictly adhere to a specialized diet, the principles of which depend on the chemical basis of concrements.
Venereal diseases
Often, burning is the result of accidental sexual intercourse without any obligations. The most common infection of this origin is gonorrhea, which causes gonococcus, often going in tandem with chlamydia. Getting into the urethra, pathogenic microorganisms quickly spread by its mucous to the other organs of the urethra. As a result, in a short time there is a large-scale lesion of the urogenital organs. If the pathology is not treated, the consequences can be very deplorable from infertility and prostatitis to impotence. Treatment is usually based on antibiotic therapy with broad-spectrum drugs.
The harmless causes of
Sometimes the sensation of burning causes absolutely harmless factors, not connected with pathologies at all. If you consume a large number of certain specific products like vinegar, spices, alcohol, coffee, citrus and carbonated drinks, you can feel such discomfort when urinating. In addition, a similar reaction can occur on hygiene products: shower gel, soap and even condoms. Therefore, when a burning sensation does not need to panic, the reasons can be very "peaceful."You just need to undergo urological examination and the doctor will determine the true causes of your problem.
Prevention
The basis of prevention is the right intimate hygiene and compliance with certain standards:
- It is necessary to avoid accidental visits, and if such is inevitable, then be sure to protect yourself with a condom;
- Promptly contact a specialist if any of the first signs of development of any genito-urinary disease occur. Usually, such pathologies do not tolerate the relationship "go away by itself" and are often complicated, further exacerbating the condition of the man;
- You can not supercool because it leads not only to burning, but also to the inflammation of the testicles, prostate, bladder, etc.;
- Do not neglect the water procedures, the penis also needs a daily bath, so you will avoid many diseases.
Regardless of the nature of burning during the process of urination, it is necessary to undergo urological consultation with a specialist. Only a qualified doctor will accurately determine the true causes of discomfort and recommend further treatment.
