20 DYSURIA General Discussion Dysuria is the sensation of burning, pain, or discomfort on urination, most often the result of infection or inflammation of the bladder and/or urethra. Infection may present as urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, or pyelonephritis. Although dysuria often is equated with urinary tract infection, dysuria also may result from vaginitis, malformations of the urinary tract, malignancy, hormonal conditions, trauma, interstitial cystitis, neurogenic conditions, and psychogenic disorders. The timing of the dysuria may help predict the location of the problem in the urinary tract. Discomfort at the start of urination suggests a urethral source of inflammation, while pain occurring over the suprapubic area upon completion of urination often indicates inflammation of the bladder. Dysuria is much more common in women than in men, and it affects older men more than younger men, reflecting the impact of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
