Painful urination

Painful urination is a symptom of an underlying medical condition, such as a urinary tract infection, bladder infection, or kidney stones. It is characterized by a burning or stinging sensation when passing urine, and may be accompanied by an increased frequency of urination and a feeling of urgency. Painful urination can vary in intensity from mild to severe, and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, and cloudy or bloody urine. If left untreated, the condition can worsen and cause further complications.
