My pain was because of having a urine catheter placed wrong after my C-section it hurt every time just with peeing for several months but did improve
Idk if this is helpful for anyone out there with painful urination is not always burning. If you have constipation it can cause your urethra to be sealed shut so if you try to pee it will hurt. Just from experience
Also vaginal atrophy…
I fractured my pelvic bone as a young girl from playing leap frog on a concrete bollard and landing on it instead of clearing it. Peeing felt like burning for days afterwards.
Also, interstitial cystitis and persistent pelvic pain
I made the mistake of using what I thought was a perfume free wash down there (outside only obviously) in the shower and I was crying on the loo for about a week. I stopped using it and saw an improvement.
Also certain bladder conditions
One time it was because I had a zit at the opening to my urethra. So that was a lot of fun.
Still not as bad as having a zit inside your nose, though.
So true I was told I had an uti then when my doctor looked it up she said it was even a uti note I already took most of the medication
For me burning while peeing as majority of the time meant Yeast Infection. Occasionally it was UTI. More often then not the UTI gave me very frequent going to the bathroom feeling like I'm bursting but only a tiny trickle of pee coming out and feeling zero relief. Also pain in my side too.
In my case I don't have a specific term diagnosis, but fall under the umbrella of bladder dysfunction and that dysfunction causes me agony. So I'm on a trial for an implant to help mitigate those symptoms. I got checked for UTI at least 20 times over the 2 years it took to get this far LOL
Good to know thank you
Can also be Painful Bladder Syndrome (also called IC) mimics UTIs and increases likelihood of contracting them, but not an actual UTI by itself. I have it, dont recommend it haha
OMG vaginitis sounds horrifying
Lichen Sclerosis. It's more common than you think and sometimes takes up to 10 years to diagnose.
As someone with interstitial cystitis, the assumption is that everything is a UTI is annoying. Took them 8 months to figure it out despite multiple UTI tests being negative. Thankfully, the urology doctor figured my case out quickly since it was a classic presentation.
If antibiotics don't help and it's not one of the things MDJ says in the video, I'd at least discuss the possibility with your doctor just in case.
Sometimes you just need to drink more water too lol
What about inability to hold my pee longer than 30 mins? Pissing the bed? I've been to the Dr multiple times and they kept giving me antibiotics even tho uti is also negative. Also, there is never pain when urinating.
It burns a little annoyingly but then it just gets better after a few more times. Been getting it; b since the beginning. So when I feel, I know what's coming. Even though I take pills, it lags a few days 2-4 or so when I'm on the 4th week. And since it lags, it ruins up to 3 days into my next.
I get what I call “my weird UTI thing.” It’s NOT a UTI – it’s most likely my stomach/intestines sitting on my bladder bc nothing in my body stays in its assigned seat. It’s usually about 30 minutes of that burning urgency and little trickles, accompanied about half the time by a BM, and then it just…goes away. Sometimes I can tell it’s about to happen and avoid going to the bathroom until the urge to pee feels more “normal” but sometimes it can’t be helped. It’s super uncomfortable but I’ve brought it up to my gynecologist and my gastroenterologist and they agree it’s likely just other organs pressing on my bladder sometimes. It SUCKS.
They kept treating me for a UTI when it burned to pee because I'd had a period of my life years ago where I had multiple UTIs. Finally, one day this nice doctor found it was BV.
Dehydration is a major cause of burning. Also diet has a major effect on your bladder function and symptoms.
Too many garbage doctors in this country… I thought I had a uti. Had a male dr btw. Did a uti test and it came back negative… doctor just said, welp you're fine it's not a uti. I ended up having to go to another doctor…. I hate this country and I hate these crappy doctors. (I don't believe ALL doctors are bad.. but I do think a majority of them don't know what they are doing and I always seem to get those crappy doctors)
Endometriosis! Not burning but pain for sure.
Yeah! One time when I was a kid I tried to get off a swing by jumping off it while it was still moving. I ended up landing in an almost split position and it hurt to pee for a few days. It went away tho and all was fine.
Or vaginal ulcers courtesy of Behcet's. Woot woot.
can sometimes also be what you're eating, if you've had an injury, allergy, any reason that could inflame the tissues. for me, cotton and toilet paper allergy, drinking acidic drinks and dehydration will cause it. and sometimes my body does it just to be mean to me
Irritation from disposable period pads too.
Also like to add: pelvic floor trauma that causes guarded muscles strangling your urethra. I had emergency surgery due to an internal cyst between the vagina and rectum. After 2x surgeries and a hospital acquired UTI of serratia marcescens, i kept having the pain even after the infection cleared up – only after weekly visits over 4 months (now biweekly) of internal physical therapy for my pelvic floor relieved the pain, which was initially so bad I was in tears without AZO. My levator ani on the left side was severely messed up.
Interstitial Cystitis! I buy bulk test just to make sure.
Can also be kidney stones, bladder stones, cysts, injury to the urinary tract (more common in people with penises for obvious reasons, but possible for folks with internal genitalia too), or chemical sensitivity. There’s all sorts of reasons.
What about when that feeling of "ahhhh finally" doesn't stop after your bladder empties? And it just wants to keep going?
