Experiencing Painful Urination? 6 Non-STI Causes of Pain During Urination
by John Dugan OwnerWhen a man’s male organ feels like it’s the King of Dragons, it’s
a no bueno kind of feeling. Seeing as healthy men pee between six to eight
times each day, it can be a bathroom showdown of how fast a man can urinate
before the pain knocks him out. Painful urination, or dysuria, is a condition
that affects the bladder and nearby body parts. There are many causes
from something simple to the more complex and everything in between. Here are
six common non-STI causes of painful urination and how to undo the fire.
#1: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
The most common cause of pain during urination, UTIs appear when
bacteria invade the urinary tract. This area includes the kidney, bladder, and
urethra as they all have a part in the urine making and evacuating process.
With a UTI, men usually experience the urge to urinate frequently,
cloudy or blood-tinged urine, a fever, stinky pee and pain in the side and/or
back. A UTI can usually be cleared up in a few days with antibiotics. In
extreme cases, a trip to the ER might be necessary.
#2: Allergic Reaction
Another common reason for pain during urination is an allergic
reaction to either medication or product that touches the skin such as body
wash, latex, or laundry detergent. If redness, swelling, rash, or itching
happen in addition to painful urination, take an antihistamine. If a man
recently started taking a new medication, contact a doctor immediately.
#3: Kidney Stones
Oh, the painful ballad of woe for the man who has to pass a kidney
stone. With a pain so bad it’s been known to make even the strongest man pass
out; kidney stones are quite common. Kidney stones are the build-up of
calcium or uric acid which form stones in and around the kidneys. When these
stones become lodged in the place where the urine meets the bladder, it causes
painful urination.
Additional symptoms common to kidney stones are pink or brown
tinted urine, nausea, cloudy urine, urination is small spurts, pain in the back
and side, interchangeable feelings of hot of chills, and pain that varies in
intensity. Usually men have to pass them (urinate them out). If the stones are
too big to pass, a doctor may have to use shock wave lithotripsy to break them
into smaller pieces so they can be passed.
#4: Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS)
Known by the medical diagnosis, interstitial cystitis, BPS is a
chronic bladder issue. There is a sensation of both pain and pressure in the
bladder. It is almost always accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms which
have lasted six weeks or more without an identified cause. Symptoms can range
from mild to severe and can even come and go. This cause of painful urination
is also linked to companion medical issues like irritable bowel syndrome,
fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain issues.
#5: Urethritis
Urethritis is the inflammation of the urethra which is the tube
that carried urine out of the body. Painful urination is the primary symptom of
urethritis. It is often caused by bacteria and can be cleared up with
antibiotics.
#6: Prostatitis
Another bacterial infection, prostatitis, can cause pain during
urination. Other symptoms include difficulty in urinating or excessive
urination (especially at night), trouble ejaculating, and aching in the
bladder, testicles, and male organ. A man should see a doctor immediately for
antibiotics. In more serious cases, the course of antibiotics can be three
months long.
Treatment and Prevention
Start by calling the doc. Next, drink as much water as possible
to dilute the urine and take some ibuprofen for the pain. Clean the male organ
and ensure it is well-moisturized. Use a gentle cleanser to thoroughly and
tenderly wash the member, rinse repeatedly, and after drying, apply a specially formulated male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin). These types of
crèmes contain all-natural ingredients and a wide-range of vitamins such as A,
B, C, D, and E, that serve as antibacterials, as well as a rejuvenators that
can calm the male organ while providing health benefits.
