==Overview==
[[Dysuria]] is typically described to be a burning, [[tingling]], or [[stinging]] sensation of the [[urethra]] and [[meatus]] associated with [[voiding]].[[Dysuria]] refers to painful [[urination]]. It is most often a result of an [[infection]] of the [[urinary tract]].Noninfectious [[inflammatory]] causes include a foreign body in the urinary tract and [[Dermatologic disorders|dermatologic]] conditions such as [[Herpes simplex|Herpes]],[[Dermatitis|Irritant dermatitis]],Erosive, [[Lichen planus]],[[Contact dermatitis|Contact Dermatitis]].It may also be due to an [[STD]], bladder stones, [[bladder tumors]] and any condition of the [[prostate]]. It can also occur as a side effect of medications. It is one of the constellations of irritative bladder symptoms, which includes the frequency of urination and [[haematuria]].

Overview

Dysuria is typically described to be a burning, tingling, or stinging sensation of the urethra and meatus associated with voiding. Dysuria refers to painful urination. It is most often a result of an infection of the urinary tract. Noninfectious inflammatory causes include a foreign body in the urinary tract and dermatologic conditions such as herpes, irritant dermatitis, erosive, lichen planus, contact dermatitis. It may also be due to an sexually transmitted diseases, bladder stones, bladder tumors and any condition of the prostate. It can also occur as a side effect of medications. It is one of the constellations of irritative bladder symptoms, which includes the frequency of urination and haematuria.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes of dysuria include:

The aforementioned conditions may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes

Common causes include: [1]

Diagnosis

  • Shown below are two algorithms summarizing the diagnosis of Dysuria

Treatment

Treatment in Women

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the treatment of Dysuria in female patients: [3]

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Symptoms of lower urinary tract
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Non recurrent
 
 
 
 
 
 
Recurrent
❑ At least 3 episodes of uncomplicated UTI in 12 months

❑ With at least one positive by urine culture
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Uncomplicated
Without any risk factors
 
Complicated :Presence of any of the following risk factors:

❑ Presence of indwelling catheter

Vesico-ureteric reflux

❑ Increased post void residual urine

❑ Increased post void residual urine

❑ Presence of diseases:

Renal insufficiency

Diabetes mellitus

Immunodeficiency

Obstructive Uropathy
 
 
 
 
Modify Lifestyle to intervene modifiable riskfactors and take prophylaxis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Treatment with short term antibiotic therapy
First line includes
❑ 3g oral dose of Fosfomycin trometamol

Pivmecillinam 400 mg twice a day for 3 days

Nitrofurantoin 100mg twice a day for 5-7days

In case of <20% resistance rates for E.coli
Cotrimoxazole 160/800 mg twice a day for 3 days

Trimethoprim 200 mg twice a day for 5 days
 
❑ Specific antibiotic depending on urine culture

❑ Long Empeirical long term antibiotic(Fluoroquinolones,Third generation Cephalosporins,Aminoglycosides) for 10-14 days
 
 
 
 
Measurements to prevent recurrent UTI

❑ Low dose Antimicrobial prophylaxis continuously or after sexual intercourse

❑ Interventions on modifiable risk factors:

1.Avoid using spermicide

2.Maintain blood glucose level

3.Improving the treatment of urinary incontinence

4.Unspecific prophylaxis with cranberry extracts

5.Local hormonal therapy in case of post menopausal women
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Repeat urine culture in nonresponsive cases and pregnant women
 
Repeat urine culture after treatment,KUB ultrasound with PVR measurement
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Refer the patient to urologist
 
 
 
 
If all of the above fails
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Refer to urologist

Presence of infection
 
 
 
No infection
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
❑ Treatment with specific antibiotic for 7 days
❑ If sensitivity tests are not available empirical treatment with Quinolone
 
 
 
 
Further investigate to exclude Bladder cancinoma if

Refer to Urologist
