Some Things That Can Cause Painful Urination in Men and How to Fix Them
by John Dugan OwnerGetting hot down there? Has peeing become something equivalent to
medieval torture? It’s time to figure out what’s going on. Painful urination in
men can be the result of many things. Painful urination, dysuria for the
medical-term lovers, affects the bladder and all the other parts that have a
role in urination. Here are seven causes of painful urination; the most common
may be surprising.
#1: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
There is a common misconception that UTIs are only experienced by
the fairer gender, but it’s not true. In fact, UTIs are the most common reason
for painful urination in men. They are caused by bacteria that takes up shop in
the urinary tract, which can actually encompass a wide area that includes the
bladder, urethra, and kidneys. UTIs are usually accompanied by cloudy or
blood-tinged urine, a fever, and unexplained pain in the side and back. In most
cases, a UTI can be cleared up with antibiotics and takes just a few days
before it’s totally gone.
#2: Urethritis
Urethritis is the inflammation of the urethra (this is the tube
that carries the urine out of the body), which is most often caused by
bacteria. Antibiotics are used for treatment.
#3: Allergic Reaction
One of the other more common, and often overlooked, reasons for
painful urination in men is an allergic reaction. This could be to anything the
member comes in contact with physically or any new meds. This includes new body
lotion, latex protection, laundry detergent, or even the perfume or lotion an
intimate partner wears. See a doctor immediately if new medication may be to
blame. Otherwise, wash the area gently, rinse well, and air dry. Take an
antihistamine if there is any swelling, itching, or rash.
#4: Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS)
A lesser known cause, BPS is a chronic bladder issue, meaning it
has no cure. Usually the bladder will experience pressure and pain
simultaneously. BPS is nearly always complemented by lower urinary tract
symptoms that last six weeks or longer without an acknowledged cause. Symptoms
can be intermittent or long-standing and vary from mild to severe. Other
chronic issues BPS is linked to are irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and
other chronic pain problems.
#5: Partner-Transmitted Infections
(PTIs)
Most likely the worst-case scenario that pops into a man’s head
when he feels the burn, several PTIs are known to cause painful urination in
men. The PTIs linked to fiery pees are chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis,
and herpes of the midsection. Get to a doctor or clinic immediately for testing
and be sure to mention any other unusual symptoms as well.
#6: Kidney Stones
Kidney
stones form in the kidneys (obviously) and are a buildup of calcium or uric
acid, which forms stones. When the stones get lodged in the area where urine
meets the bladder, it causes painful urination. A man usually has to pass the
kidney stones by urinating them out. If they are too big to pass, then a doctor
may need to use shock wave lithotripsy to break them into smaller pieces so
they can be passed. Either way, a man will have to pee them out, which can be
exceptionally painful. This is often called the male equivalent of childbirth.
#7: Prostatitis
Prostatitis is a bacterial infection that can also cause painful
urination in men. Symptoms that accompany prostatitis include an urge to
urinate that is especially persistent in the evening, aches in the midsection,
and trouble releasing seed. Antibiotics can clear it up, but it can take up to
three months to be fully rid of this infection.
How to Fix and Prevent Painful
Urination in Men
For any and all of these causes, call a physician and schedule
an appointment for as soon as possible. Then start drinking as much water as
can be tolerated to dilute the urine and bring down the pain. Additionally,
some ibuprofen can also help with pain management. Next, be sure to clean the
member well and moisturize it well, as it may be inflamed. It’s suggested that
a man use a specially formulated male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) rather than
just any old lotion, as the member has very delicate skin that can be easily
irritated. Choose a crème with a natural, soothing, and non-irritant base such
as shea butter. Also, crèmes with a combination of vitamins such as A, B, C, D,
and E will provide the member with antibacterial defense as well as calming and
healing properties.
