What causes vaginal pain when urinating?

Because the female urethra is shorter than the male urethra and is adjacent to the vagina, it is easy for bacteria to flow upstream if you do not pay attention to hygiene. Especially after sexual intercourse, it is easy to cause inflammation and cause painful urination. In the human excretory system, the kidneys are where urine is produced, the ureters are located upstream of the urinary tract, and the urethra is downstream of the urinary tract, which can excrete urine from the body. Therefore, in addition to the above factors, various diseases of the female reproductive system may cause urinary pain.

Experts point out that endocervicitis, nonspecific vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, uterine fibroids, ovarian tumors, urinary stones, cancer that requires chemotherapy or pelvic radiation therapy can all cause urinary pain.

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

2. Endocervical endometritis in women is caused by congestion, edema, easy bleeding when touched, increased yellow mucopurulent secretions, and lower abdominal discomfort in the cervix. These parts are closely related to the urethra and are factors that cause urinary pain.

3. Nonspecific vaginitis The main symptoms of nonspecific vaginitis are massive shedding of the vaginal epithelium, congestion of the vaginal mucosa, obvious tenderness, and in severe cases, general fatigue and lower abdominal discomfort. The amount of leucorrhea is large and purulent or serous. The outflow of leucorrhea irritates the urethral opening and causes severe urinary pain.

4. The prominent symptoms of candidal vaginitis are increased leucorrhea and severe itching of the vulva and vagina, severe edema of the vaginal membrane, and adhesion of white flaky films that are easy to peel off. In addition, the eroded base of the damaged mucosa or the formation of shallow ulcers can irritate the urethra and cause urinary pain.

5. Uterine fibroids are common benign genital tumors in women aged 30-50. Symptoms include lumps in the lower abdomen. The bacteria on these lumps may invade the urethra through the reproductive tract and cause urinary pain.

Painful urination is a common symptom among women in summer and can be caused by a variety of diseases. This is because the female urethra is naturally shorter and the urethral opening is near the perineum, so bacteria of various diseases can easily invade the urethra. In addition, the temperature is high in summer, the human body sweats a lot, and the female vulva has particularly abundant sweat glands. If the underwear you wear is not made of the right fabric, it can easily keep the vulva moist for a long time. At this time, bacteria will multiply very quickly and take advantage of the opportunity to enter, causing urethral congestion and edema, and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of dysuria should start with the prevention and treatment of various reproductive tract diseases.
