Abstract

Urology Dysuria is defined as burning, pain, or discomfort with urination. Dysuria is a very common presenting complaint in family medicine clinics accounting for 5% to 15% of visits. It does occur more commonly in females, but may occur in males as well, especially in older males. Dysuria can be caused by infectious etiologies as well as non-infectious etiologies. Some of these are relatively benign, but some are more serious. Many causes can be identified by history, exam, and simple in-office tests. Dysuria, a commonly encountered medical symptom, refers to the painful or uncomfortable sensation experienced during urination. It is a very prevalent urinary symptom experienced by most people at least once in their lifetime. The causes of dysuria can be divided into 2 categories: infectious and noninfectious. Further laboratory tests and imaging are sometimes required to diagnose more complex or unusual etiologies. Laboratory and imaging studies include urinalysis, urine culture, vaginal smear, vaginal culture, ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and cystoscopy. Acute cystitis is one of the most common causes, accounting for roughly 650,000 to seven million office visits per year and can usually be diagnosed accurately on history alone.
