2. Causes of Dysuria
As mentioned earlier, the most common cause of dysuria is urinary tract infections. However, there are many other factors that may cause painful urination. These include other related conditions such as sexually transmitted infections, ovarian cysts, and kidney stones.
Beyond medical conditions, dysuria may also be caused by irritation as a result of sexual activity, physical activities such as horse riding or cycling, vaginal changes as a result of menopause, and use of personal care products such as scented soaps, douches, or spermicides. In some cases, painful urination can be a side effect of some prescription medication or treatments.
