8. Pain During Urination
Dysuria is the medical term used to describe the presence of pain during urination. It is a non-specific symptom associated with many conditions such as a urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney stones, and sexually transmitted infections (STI) to name a few. This symptom is often described as a burning sensation during urination and it can be quite a painful experience.
The most common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are organisms associated with sexually transmitted diseases (STI) like chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea. Therefore, it is common to find STI-related symptoms like dysuria in the early stages of pelvic inflammatory disease as well.
