Painful Urination for Men

Painful urination in men can be attributable to a urinary tract infection or more commonly, an enlarged prostate, urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) or kidney stones. It may also be due to an obstruction of the ureter, urethral stricture, prostatitis, bladder infection, or more rarely, a cancer of the urinary tract. All of these conditions can be quickly diagnosed and effectively treated by your primary care physician or urologist, so don’t hesitate to call their attention to your discomfort.
