Painful Urination for Women

One of the most common causes of painful urination in women is a urinary tract infection (UTI). Other possible causes include vaginitis, a yeast infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, kidney or bladder stones, or possibly a sexually transmitted disease such as chlamydia, gonorrhea or herpes. Your primary care physician, urologist, gynecologist or urogynecologist can provide effective treatments that can resolve the pain and other symptoms of these common conditions, so don’t hesitate to call their attention to your discomfort.
