What causes vaginal urination pain?

Everyone knows that women’s health is often harmed by many diseases, especially women’s private health issues, which are something that everyone pays more attention to and worries about. Many female friends experience pain when urinating and are very afraid of it. So, what causes vaginal pain when urinating? For this situation, please see the detailed and comprehensive analysis below.

In the human excretion system, the kidneys are where urine is produced, the ureters are located upstream of the urinary tract, and the urethra is located downstream of the urinary tract, which can excrete urine from the body. Urinary pain refers to pain in the urethra, bladder, and perineum when urinating. The pain can be mild or severe, often burning, and severe pain like a knife cutting. Urinary pain is common in urethritis, cystitis, urinary tract stones, bladder tuberculosis, pyelonephritis, etc. According to the characteristics of urinary pain, it is helpful to clarify the diagnosis of the disease.

(1) If there is obvious pain at the beginning of urination or dysuria, the lesion is mostly in the urethra, which is common in acute urethritis.

(2) Pain at the end of urination and urgency are common in patients with bladder lesions, which are common in acute cystitis.

(3) If the pain is obvious at the end of urination, or if the pain persists after urination, or if the patient feels "empty pain", or if the patient feels pain even without urination, the lesion is usually in the urethra or adjacent organs, such as bladder trigone inflammation.

(4) Sudden interruption of urination accompanied by pain or urinary retention: seen in bladder, urethral stones or urinary tract foreign bodies.

(5) Difficult urination accompanied by distending pain: can be seen in urethral stones.

(6) Stinging or burning pain during urination: This is common in acute inflammatory stimulation, such as acute urethritis, cystitis, and pyelonephritis.

In addition to the above factors, various diseases of the female reproductive system may cause urinary pain. Endocervicitis, nonspecific vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, uterine fibroids, ovarian tumors, urinary stones, cancer requiring chemotherapy or pelvic radiation therapy can all cause urinary pain.

(1) Urethritis directly affects urination. The inflammatory bacteria can spread in the urethra and is one of the main factors causing urinary pain.

(2) Endocervicitis Endocervicitis in women is caused by congestion and edema of the cervix, easy bleeding when touched, increased yellow mucus and purulent secretions, and lower abdominal discomfort. These parts are closely related to the urethra and are all factors that cause urinary pain.

(3) Nonspecific vaginitis The main symptoms of nonspecific vaginitis are massive shedding of vaginal epithelium, congestion of vaginal mucosa, obvious tenderness, and in severe cases, general fatigue, lower abdominal discomfort, excessive vaginal discharge, purulent or serous, and leucorrhea that irritates the urethra and causes severe urinary pain.

(4) Fungal vaginitis: The prominent symptoms of this disease are increased leucorrhea and itching of the vulva and vagina, severe edema of the vaginal membrane, adhesion of white flakes of film, easy to peel off, and erosion of the base of the damaged mucosa or formation of shallow ulcers, which irritate the urethra and cause urinary pain.

(5) Uterine fibroids are benign genital tumors that are common in women aged 30 to 50. Symptoms include lumps in the lower abdomen. Bacteria on these lumps may invade the urethra through the reproductive tract, causing urinary pain.

What causes vaginal pain when urinating? Through the above detailed introduction, I hope everyone now has a better understanding of the common causes of painful urination in women. In fact, there are many reasons for this situation. Therefore, when this happens, it is best to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment.
