Symptom #2: Dysuria
Dysuria is a term that describes pain during urination. Some may also use this term to describe difficulty during urination. Individuals who are affected describe the pain as a stinging or burning sensation. Dysuria is most common in patients with a urinary tract infection. Other causes of dysuria include bladder tumors, STD, bladder stones, and other conditions of the prostate.
In urethritis, the dysuria is usually localized to the distal penis or meatus. It is usually worst during the first morning void and can be made worse in alcohol consumption. In urethritis, symptoms such as increased urinary frequency and urgency are absent. If it is present, it suggests the possibility of cystitis or prostatitis.
