Why does it cause stinging pain when women urinate during their period?

It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to have their periods. This is because the female ovaries grow and develop periodically, and the inner wall of the uterus sheds. When women have their periods, their body resistance decreases, making them prone to dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. Women sometimes experience stinging pain when urinating during their periods. So what is going on? Let me introduce it to you below.

Ardor urinae is pain in the urethra, bladder, and perineum during urination. The pain can be mild or severe, often feeling like a burning sensation, with severe cases feeling like a knife cut and mild cases feeling like a needle prick. Painful urination is common in urethritis, prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, seminal vesiculitis, cystitis, urinary tract stones, bladder tuberculosis, pyelonephritis, etc. Clinically, stinging pain during urination may be caused by non-gonococcal urethritis, an infectious disease of the reproductive system, and the main infection factor is poor personal hygiene.

If a woman feels pain in the urethra when urinating, she may have urethritis. Urethritis is a common urinary disease, with more female patients than female patients. Urethritis in women mainly causes pain when they first start urinating. It is divided into acute urethritis, chronic urethritis, gonococcal urethritis and nonspecific urethritis. The specific situation requires going to the hospital for detailed examination. When you suffer from urethritis, you will experience symptoms such as difficulty urinating, redness and swelling of the urethra, and decreased immunity.

If a woman feels pain in her urethra when urinating, it may be caused by cystitis. The urethral pain caused by cystitis is generally a tingling sensation, with pain in the urethra or bladder area during or after urination. The difference between cystitis and urethritis is that the pain usually intensifies when urination is about to end. If you have bladder stones, the urine stream will be interrupted, so you can distinguish them.
