Why Does Urinating Hurt?

Men experiencing pain or discomfort upon peeing is common in older people. There are a lot of reasons why this happens, but the below conditions can produce the symptoms. These are:

Urinary tract infection (UTI)
Kidney problems (Ex. An infection or kidney stones)
Prostate problems
Sometimes Sexually transmitted diseases (STIs).

Take note that when you experience a burning sensation upon urination, it is best to see a doctor to help you find the cause of your discomfort and help with the treatment. You can also find a physical therapist who can provide you with exercises that will help achieve proper engagement of the pelvic floor muscles that regulate urine release.

How Can PT Help Ease Painful Urination?

For some people, urination can be a painful experience. While there are a variety of medications that can help ease this pain, pelvic floor exercises may provide even more relief.

A pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder and help to control urination. If these muscles are weak or tight, they can put pressure on the bladder and cause pain when urinating.

Pelvic floor exercises help to strengthen the muscles around the bladder and urethra, which can help to prevent incontinence and reduce pain during urination. Physical therapy can also help to relieve pain by stretching and strengthening the pelvic muscles. In addition, physical therapists can teach patients how to correctly perform pelvic floor exercises, which can further improve their results. For many people, physical therapy is the key to easing painful urination.
