Painful Urination
Painful urination is a common cystitis symptom that occurs when bladder inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection. The infection can change the pH of the urine, resulting in pain when urinating. The pain may feel like a burning or stinging sensation.
Pain may begin as a minor abnormal sensation at the end of the urine flow, which then increases in severity. Drinking more water to dilute the urine and neutralize acid can help reduce the pain.3‘Cystitis.’ Better Health, www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/cystitis
