Burning when urinating

It is most often associated with the following problems:

Narrowed foreskin

A narrowed foreskin is a condition where the skin cannot be pulled back over the glans at all, or only partially. The result of this condition is pain during erection, inability to maintain foreskin hygiene, penis odor, inability to have intercourse, problems during intercourse, an aesthetic defect that interferes with sex and partner life, repeated cracks in the skin of the penis after erection, and even the inability to urinate in advanced stages. Phimosis is also a risk factor in relation to penile cancer. In children, a narrowed foreskin can also prevent normal penis development and inflammation of the urinary tract and kidneys.

Inflammation of the foreskin

Inflammation of the foreskin can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). The most common causes of acute inflammation of the foreskin are poor hygiene, unprotected sex, or diabetes. If the inflammation persists for a long time or recurs, chronic inflammation of the foreskin can develop, which causes scarring and thickening of the foreskin. Small scars and foreskin raggedness retract over time, resulting in a narrowing of the foreskin, or phimosis.

Inflammation of the foreskin is common in boys who have a narrowed foreskin or phimosis.

Prostatitis

Chronic prostatitis causes pelvic floor pain, difficulty urinating, and is sometimes accompanied by elevated body temperature and problems with sexual life. It is not only a disease of older men, but also of younger age groups.

There are several forms of prostatitis: 1. Acute bacterial prostatitis. It is caused by bacteria and is manifested by acute symptoms: Chills and fever, pain in the lower back, lower abdomen, perineum, burning during urination and inability to urinate. 2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is also caused by bacteria, but has a long course. Its symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen and perineum, occasional burning during urination, lack of interest in sex and often erectile dysfunction. 3. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is the most common form of prostatitis. It has a long course, but without the presence of infection. It can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory. It manifests itself similarly to chronic bacterial prostatitis: Pain in the perineum, in the testicles, in the penis and in the bladder area, pain during urination and ejaculation. The disease has periods of improvement and deterioration. 4. Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis is an asymptomatic disease that is discovered incidentally during a urological examination or prostate biopsy.

The diagnosis of prostatitis consists of a thorough history, examination of urine, prostate express, ejaculate, palpation of the prostate and ultrasound examination.

The treatment of prostatitis consists of the application of antibiotics / in the case of bacterial prostatitis /, non-steroidal analgesics, alpha-blockers, herbal preparations, antimuscarinics and the application of heat. A highly effective method of treating chronic prostatitis is ESWT / shock wave therapy /. Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome are optimal indications for shock wave therapy. The ESWT method consists of the application of extracorporeal shock waves to calcified prostate scars to which bacteria adhere. The effect of the shock wave destroys calcifications, which are phagocytized by leukocytes and subsequently more easily eliminated by the body’s own immune system. The treatment is outpatient, does not require hospitalization. The patient completes a series of at least 4 sessions with us, once every one to two weeks.

Vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness

Dryness and decreased local immunity of the vagina are a phenomenon associated with the aging of the female body and with vaginal and urinary tract infections. Under these circumstances, the vagina and urethra do not work in a physiologically optimal state. As a result of reduced mucosal defenses, recurrent vaginal and urinary tract infections occur, whether chronic bacterial or fungal. Certified laser treatment RENOVALASE® / Fotona / is a gentle and painless method of rejuvenation of the vaginal and urethral mucosa, a way to improve the moisture and defenses of the mucosa.
