Pain after urination

Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system patients bring a lot of unpleasant, and sometimes even exhausting symptoms. Syndrome pain is the main complaint of these patients, the onset of pain, one way or another, connected with the act of urination.

The epithelium of the mucous membranes of the urinary tract is exposed to constant aggression by pathogens. When you create favorable conditions, pathological processes develop very quickly and tend to spread from one anatomical region to another.

Pain after urination, usually associated with infectious agents that enter the urethra, the tissue of the bladder, prostate, or other structures. Other causes of pain may be due to the traumatic injuries of the walls of these organs.

Cystitis

So arranged that the infection is quite easily penetrates into the bladder in women, which is associated with structural features of their urinary tract. Starts the inflammatory process in the mucosa of the body, which in medicine is the term “cystitis”.

The process of stone formation may occur at different levels of the urinary tract. Most often, the stones form in the tissues of the kidneys, and then descend Prosvet ureters, the bladder, from where they are transmitted through the urethra to the outside.

If the stones are small in diameter, their only exit is accompanied by unpleasant sensations. But when the volume of the formation exceeds the size of the ureters and urethra, appear intolerable pain associated with traumatic effect on the mucous membranes. The localization of the pain can be in the right or left side (all depends on where you moving the stone). Pain much worse after the act of urination, as the calculus comes in even more traffic. In the urine, as a rule, there are traces of blood.
