What Causes Burning Sensation During Urination?
Question: pretty extreme burning upon first urinating this morning. Second time too. Never experienced this before.
Brief Answer:
may be a urinary tract infection
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Burning on urination is most commonly due to an urinary tract infection.
Urinary tract infections can involve any aspect of the urinary tract- the urethra, bladder, prostate, ureter, kidneys
Infections involving reproductive organs such as the testes or epididymis can also cause discomfort on urination.
You should consider seeing your doctor for assessment. This assessment would involve a history of all symptoms, examination, urine analysis
Urine may also need to be sent to the lab, to identify the bacteria specifically.
Antibiotics would be needed.
Copious fluid intake as well as the use of cranberry, may also help
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
