What are the causes of vaginal pain after urinating?

There are many organs in our human body, and each organ is very important to our life. Sometimes they may have some minor problems, and we must always pay attention to them. Take our genitals for example, they are fragile and can easily become infected and cause some minor diseases. Many people experience pain in their genitals after urinating. Why is this? What can cause vaginal pain?

Both men and women may experience genital pain when urinating, the most common causes are urinary tract infection and vaginitis. Can be caused by one alone, or the two can cross-infect each other. Further examinations are needed to clarify the treatment.

Urinary tract infection is an inflammation caused by bacteria directly invading the urinary tract. Pay attention to the history of diabetes, renal trauma, urinary system surgery and instrument examination, colitis or constipation, etc. Women should pay attention to their pregnancy and childbearing history, the relationship between the disease and pregnancy and menstruation, and whether they have gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease. The main clinical features are generally low back pain, frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating. There are more children than adults, more females than males among the patients, and the disease is prone to recurrence. 80% of the pathogenic bacteria that cause urinary tract inflammation are intestinal Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Streptococcus faecalis. Acute simple urinary tract infection is mostly caused by one pathogen.

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue. Due to the anatomical and biochemical characteristics of normal healthy women, the vagina has a natural defense function against the invasion of pathogens. Due to estrogen deficiency, young girls and postmenopausal women have a thin vaginal epithelium, reduced intracellular glycogen content, and a vaginal pH of around 7. Therefore, the vaginal resistance is low and they are more susceptible to infection than adolescents and women of childbearing age.

The reproductive system is a relatively private part of our human body. Many times when we develop some diseases, we dare not go to the hospital for treatment, thinking that it is a shameful thing. It is wrong to have such an idea. The body is the capital of revolution, and nothing is more important than the body. If we are sick, we should go to the hospital in time to avoid harming ourselves.
