Several tests are required to diagnose the disease

• Having multiple sex partners, unprotected sex suggests a sexually transmitted disease.
• Painful urination in pregnant women suggests a possible urinary tract infection.
• Having just undergone the procedure, surgery in the urinary tract suggests the possibility of a post-operative infection.

1.2. Symptom

Other urinary and genitourinary findings may also suggest an etiology. For example, cloudy urine, bloody, abnormal discharge from the vagina (in women) or penis (in men) ...

The doctor will examine the abdomen and genitals at the same time, thereby recording the necessary signs for the diagnosis.

1.3. Test

Urinalysis provides many important information about the urinary system. Take a urine sample with the test strip and observe under the microscope. Thereby, it helps to determine the presence of blood and bacteria. A normal person's urine will be sterile and free of blood. Therefore, the presence of blood or any kind of bacteria in the urine indicates that the urinary system is infected.

Abdominal ultrasound provides images to help evaluate the urinary organs. On abdominal ultrasound, it is possible to observe the presence of stones.

Testing for abnormal discharge from the vagina (in women) or penis (in men) helps detect sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Methods of treating painful urination?

The treatment of dysuria depends on the cause. Depending on the cause originating in the urinary or genital organs, there are different treatment methods. Such as:

• Urinary tract infections : can be treated with antibiotics. Depending on how simple or complicated the infection is, the way to take the medicine and the time to take it will vary. For simple cases, doctors prescribe oral antibiotics for a short time. As for complicated cases, the patient must be given intravenous antibiotics for a longer time.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases : Symptoms of painful urination will disappear when treated with sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, herpes ... Note, sexual partners also need to be treated and abstain from sex during duration of drug treatment to avoid disease recurrence.
• Stone : Depending on the size of the stone and the location of the stone in the urinary tract, there will be appropriate treatment.
• Other causes : if painful urination is a side effect of using medication, tell your doctor to change to another suitable medication. If the cause is due to the use of an irritating product, another product can be substituted.
