In medicine, dysuria is a symptom of "painful urination. It is often associated with infections of the lower urinary tract."[1] Dysuria may also be caused by urethritis and vaginitis.[2]
Diagnosis
The best symptoms and physical examination findings for diagnosis in women have been identified in a systematic review by the Rational Clinical Examination.[3]
- The presence of vaginal discharge or vaginal irritation increase the probability that dysuria is due to vaginitis and reduce the probability that dysuria is due to urinary tract infection.
