10 Causes of Dysuria
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #3: Pyelonephritis
Pyelonephritis is inflammation of the kidneys. Like many of the other conditions on this list, it’s caused by a bacterial infection. Patients may develop a fever, nausea, and sores or abscesses around the kidneys. One of the most common symptoms associated with pyelonephritis is a change in urination; patients often urinate more frequently and find it painful or uncomfortable to do so.
The consistency and color of the urine might also change, becoming dark or pale. Patients may also expel greater quantities of urine when suffering from a kidney-related problem.
