Burning sensation when urinating

introduction

Should be when using the toilet and when Urination a burning sensation to adjust (Alguria), this is the symptom of some diseases that also affect the urinary tract. In addition to differences in the sexes, there are also many different pathogens and other causes that trigger the disease. The underlying disease should definitely be investigated and, in more severe cases, a doctor should definitely be consulted. Even if most diseases appear relatively harmless, some of them can have serious effects. However, therapy is usually simple and does not take long.

Symptoms

In addition to the burning sensation when urinating, in some cases there is also fever and fatigue, as well as fatigue, which would then rather speak for a kidney infection. Here the patients have a distinct feeling of illness, similar to that of the flu. Many sufferers also complain of chills, nausea and vomiting. Pain and pressure in the flanks are also typical signs of this condition. A kidney infection can be particularly painful, significantly more painful than a bladder infection. Because of this, those affected sometimes have to be hospitalized.

At a Hematuria there is blood in the urine. The symptoms mentioned can appear together, but do not have to be. This means that the symptoms can vary, especially in the case of a cystitis, and they can occur in a wide variety of intensities.

Burning pain can occur not only when urinating but also when defecating (burning sensation after defecation).

diagnosis

For all diseases of the lower urinary tract, a Urinalysis carried out. With this method, the pathogens can be determined in most cases, which simplifies the further diagnosis. It's best to use that here Midstream urine. This means that you do not urinate in the urine cup at the beginning and the end, but only use the urine that is excreted in the middle of the time.

In addition, a good and detailed one is of course also in this case anamnese important. Furthermore, the patient becomes physically examined. To get more certainty about the condition is one Cystoscopy of great importance. The cytoscope (endoscope) is inserted into the bladder through the urethra. With this device, the bladder can be examined optically.

Besides, with the help of the cytoscope it is also possible Biopsies carry out. For this, something is removed from the tissue and then examined histologically in the laboratory. A detailed examination of the tissue sample taken can determine whether it could be a tumor. With the help of the channel through which the cytoscope is guided to get inside the bladder, one could also perform operations.

During a Cystitis and their diagnosis is especially useful when looking for help in the hospital or from a urologist, in addition to the anamnesis and the urine sample Sonography (Ultrasound) performed. In this way you can also see whether and how much residual urine is still in the bladder and whether there is a bladder emptying disorder.
In addition to the examination methods mentioned, there is also the possibility of one X-ray. This is one of the standard urological examinations and so the entire urinary tract can be displayed. To make this even more visible, a Contrast media be injected. So all vessels are visible. The path of the urine from the kidneys to the bladder can also be shown and understood.

What helps if it burns when urinating?

At a Cystitis (Cystitis) is usually used in the more severe cases antibiotic treated as the disease is most often caused by bacteria.

In addition, you should be especially at this time drink a lot, because the Flush bacteria out of the bladder and this can then be reduced significantly. You can either drinking water or special Bubble teas, which you can buy in every pharmacy, in health food stores and also in well-stocked drugstores. Cranberry juice and tablets are also said to be beneficial for recovery.

You should also use the Keep body warmeven if the cold is not the direct cause of the inflammation. Hypothermia can delay healing. In any case, you should go to the doctor. If the inflammation is very persistent and you can not get any relief from the antibiotic yourself, one should Urinary culture be applied to the bacteria to be precisely determined. So you can give the right antibiotic to match the pathogen.

If a cystitis is left untreated, the Bacteria ascend into the kidneys and inflammation of the kidneys can develop. At a If there is inflammation of the kidney pelvis, antibiotics are essential. It can either be given orally, if the symptoms and the disease are not too severe, but if a severe form of kidney inflammation occurs, an inpatient stay in the hospital is necessary because the antibiotics have to be given intravenously, i.e. via infusion. In addition, the patient must be kept warm and drink a lot. Anticonvulsants may also be needed.

Antibiotics can also be used with a caused by bacteria Prostatitis deploy. Unfortunately, there is not only one bacterial form, but also an abacterial form, which is difficult to treat. However, one can apparently minimize the risk of prostatitis through a healthy diet, sufficient exercise and exercise, and regular sexual intercourse.

To one Fungal infection Prevention is especially low on soaps and shower lotions PH value to pay attention. These are specially marked as they are specially designed for intimate hygiene. If the partner is ill or is a new sexual partner, a condom should always be used. It is also important to be as hygienic as possible when defecating.

Tobacco and radiation therapy in the pelvic area, as well as chronic inflammation of the bladder are considered to be important factors in the development of Bladder cancer can be involved.It is therefore recommended not only because of the risk of developing bladder cancer, not to smoke, but to avoid it in general. If you already have bladder cancer, there is the possibility of one chemotherapy, radiation therapy and, above all, an operation. Surgical removal of the tumor usually has the best prognosis. In special cases, when the tumor is very aggressive, a complete removal of the bladder may be necessary. The chemotherapy drug can often be injected directly into the bladder, which often makes the symptoms of chemotherapy less severe.

Blood in the urine

A Pelvic inflammation (Pylonephritis) can, just like that Cystitis a Hematuria (blood in the urine) cause. It is usually the result of an untreated cystitis when the pathogens, usually bacteria, enter the ureter Kidneys penetrate and there one inflammation cause. The patients often feel very sicksimilar to the flu and often have severe pain in the urinary system. During the examination, it must be particularly proven that there are bacteria in the kidneys. This is done by puncturing this area. The pathogens can seriously attack the tissue or there are disruptions in the kidney's filter system. Usually the red blood cells never leave the filter stations.

Of the Bladder tumor is a disease that can affect both men and women. In most cases it is Urothelium (special tissue of the urinary tract) of the urinary bladder affected. As mentioned above, what counts Smoke to the Risk factors. In addition, the risk of developing bladder cancer increases if you have had radiation in the pelvic area or if you have suffered from chronic bladder disease.

However, even exposure to risk factors does not mean that you will develop bladder cancer. A typical feature for that Bladder cancer is the Hematuria. This means that there is blood in the urine and that it visibly turns red. Often this is the first and only sign. Late stages are due to the size of the tumor too Pain in this area and Burning sensation when urinating possible.

Of course, blood in the urine can also occur in other diseases of the lower urinary tract and so an appropriate examination must first be carried out. For this purpose, the urine and the bladder are examined using ultrasound / X-ray and contrast media and a bladder mirror. The kidneys must not be forgotten during this examination. An examination can also be carried out using a cytoscope. This tool is used to take a biopsy of the relevant tissue. In this way it can be determined with certainty whether the tissue is malignant or benign. To any Metastases to find is one Computed Tomography inevitable.

The tumor is treated as described above by a chemotherapy or one radiotherapy and if possible, the tumor is surgically removed. In severe cases, the bladder may be completely removed. As with all other forms of cancer, the prognosis depends on when the disease was discovered. If the cancer is not very advanced, the survival rate is best.

Burning sensation when urinating in man

Of course, there is also the possibility of cystitis in men. However, this is much rarer than in women, as the male member elongates the urethra, making it much more difficult for bacteria to get into the bladder.

In addition, the female urethra is much closer to the anus than the male urethra, which helps bacteria in this region to get into the vagina much more easily.

At a Prostatitis the man's prostate gland is inflamed. Important characteristics are burning sensation when urinating, frequent urge to urinate, frequent urge to defecate, cramps in the lower abdomen, also pain after and before ejaculation and pain in the entire genital area of the man, including the anal region. Sometimes patients also complain of flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, and tiredness. Various examinations are carried out in order to be able to make a diagnosis. In most cases, the ejaculate is also examined, as this is where inflammation markers can be found, for example an increased number of white blood cells.

Fungal infection in the genital area

Fungal infections are possible in the genital area of men and women. In both sexes, the culprit is almost always the same Candida albicans yeast. Most of the time, the fungi can spread when the pH value is no longer correct. This can for example through antibiotics be caused, but also by excessive washing with a pH-neutral or alkaline washing cream. The man's acorns (Balantis) and the foreskin affected. The infection in men can either be caused by sexual intercourse with a woman who is also infected or by too intensive washing behavior.

Of course, a fungal infection can also be caused by poor hygiene. The symptoms are Itching and burning, a Crumbly, neutral-smelling discharge. With the woman one finds on the Vaginal mucous membrane white coatings. There is also one Redness in the genital area. The fungal infection can be diagnosed by a smear test and a medical history. Often the symptoms are already very clear. The disease is treated with suppositories, ointments and tablets. These are special Antifungal drugsattacking the mushrooms.

Burning sensation when urinating during pregnancy

Significantly more women get a urinary tract infection during pregnancy. Either way, it is a very common disease that almost every woman suffers from at some point in her life.

Bacteria are responsible, which migrate through the relatively short urethra of women into the bladder and cause inflammation there. They can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, but also through incorrectly cleaning the anus after using the toilet, where the proximity of the anus and vagina can lead to a transmission of bacteria.

During pregnancy, the composition of the hormones is different and this makes the development of urinary tract infections even more favorable. The hormone progesterone in particular is responsible for the facilitated development. It relaxes the muscles of the ureter and so the urine is only transported slowly. This makes it easier for bacteria to spread. In addition, the enlarged uterus impedes the flow of urine, sometimes enormously. In addition to a burning sensation when urinating, you may experience a burning sensation after urinating during pregnancy. The cause of this is usually a urinary tract infection.

After the caesarean section

Usually a caesarean section is used catheter placed in the bladder of the expectant mother. When inserting the catheter, hygiene plays a particularly important role. If this is neglected, for example due to insufficient hygiene measures by the nursing staff, a urinary tract infection can result from the inserted catheter. Not only the insertion of the catheter poses an infection risk, but also the care, which can also cause an infection with low hygiene standards.

In general, pathogens get into the bladder more easily when a catheter is present, since the catheter tube encourages pathogens to migrate.
