Pain at the Beginning of Urination

Description:

Pain at the beginning of urination is a common symptom, often associated with infections or irritation in the urinary tract. This type of pain can occur when the bladder contracts, releasing urine, or when the urethra is inflamed. In many cases, this symptom is seen in conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), cystitis, or urethritis.

Causes:

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially bladder infections (cystitis).
• Urethritis, an inflammation of the urethra.
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.
• Bladder stones or kidney stones that irritate the urinary tract.
• Interstitial cystitis, a chronic bladder condition that causes pain and frequent urination.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include antibiotics for infections, anti-inflammatory medications, or lifestyle changes to manage symptoms.
