What causes urethral pain in women

The urethral opening is a safe channel for normal urination in our body, but sometimes there will be some problems with our urethral opening, such as urethral pain. This is especially true for female friends, because the environment of the urethral opening is relatively humid, some of the body's secretions are discharged, and coupled with the influence of sexual life, the urethral opening is prone to the growth of bacteria. Next, let’s take a look at what causes sudden pain in a woman’s urethra.

First, urethritis. If a woman feels a stinging pain in the urethra when urinating, she may have urethritis, which is a common urinary system disease. The majority of women suffer from urethritis. The main symptom of women's urethritis is pain at the beginning of urination. It is divided into several categories: acute urethritis, acute urethritis, gonococcal urethritis and nonspecific urethritis. The actual situation still needs to be thoroughly examined in the hospital. When suffering from urethritis, symptoms such as difficulty urinating, redness and swelling of the urethra, and low immunity will occur.

Second, cystitis. Women may feel that urethral pain is also caused by cystitis. The urethral pain caused by cystitis is usually a stabbing pain, and there is pain in the urethra or bladder area when urinating or after urinating. The difference between bladder inflammation and urethritis is that the pain usually worsens when urination is about to be completed. If you suffer from bladder stones, the urine flow will be interrupted. We can distinguish them from many aspects.

The above are the key common reasons why women's urethral opening suddenly hurts. Generally speaking, if the urethral opening suddenly hurts, it is very likely that there is inflammation in the body, which is more common in urethritis or cystitis. If this happens, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment immediately to control the spread of inflammation in time to avoid causing other complications.
