Dysuria treatment

Determining the cause of the pain will be the first step before treatment.

Your doctor may prescribe medication to treat painful urination. Antibiotics can treat UTIs, some bacterial infections, and some STIs.

Your doctor may also give you medication to calm your irritated bladder.

Painful urination due to a bacterial infection usually improves fairly quickly after you start taking medication. Always take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes.

Pain associated with some infections, such as interstitial cystitis, may be more challenging to treat.

Results from drug therapy may be slower. You may have to take medication for up to 4 months before you start to feel better.

Contact your healthcare provider:

• if the pain is persistent or long-lasting
• if you’re pregnant
• the pain is accompanied by a fever
• if you experience discharge from your penis or vagina
• if your urine has a different odor, has blood in it, or is cloudy
• if the pain is accompanied by abdominal pain
• if you pass a bladder or kidney stone
