i just got my period and it hurts when i urinate. It also feels like i have to go even when i am empty. this has never happened before while on my period. it feels just like i had a catheter taken out. i do not believe it is a UTI because i do not have any other symptoms. |

Dear Tasha Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the leading causes of painful urination. Sometimes painful urination can be related to a vaginal infection, such as a yeast infection. With vaginal infections, you may also expect changes in vaginal discharge and odor. Some of the other cause of your symptom may be. Stones in the urinary tract Irritation of the urethra from sexual activity Interstitial cystitis, a condition caused by bladder inflammation Vaginal changes related to menopause Activities such as horseback riding or bicycling Vaginal sensitivity or irritation related to use of scented soaps or bubble bath, toilet paper, or other products such as douches or spermicides Side effects from certain medications, supplements, and treatments Rarely tumor in the urinary tract For first few days you should take plenty of water and if the symptom persist or increase. So please consult your urologist and get yourself examined and few investigation done. After a history and physical exam, your doctor may request lab tests to help diagnose the cause of your dysuria symptoms. Then you can begin targeted treatment. With regard J S Chowhan |
