Medical Video: Urinary Tract Infection | How To Prevent UTI (2018)
If your urine feels hot when you urinate, this can be caused by a warmer than usual urine temperature. Especially when you are cold or have a fever.
But in most cases, urinating that always feels hot every time you go to the toilet can be a sign of certain health problems.
So, what causes urine to feel hot?
There are many conditions that can cause urine to feel hot like burning and pain when urinating. This condition is called dysuria.
The following are various conditions that can cause urine to feel hot. The cause can also be in men and women.
1. Urinary tract infection (UTI)
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the cause of urination that feels hot like burning. Women who are most vulnerable to this infection, but men are also just as risky.
This infection occurs when bacteria E. coli enter the urinary tract, like Escherichia coli.
In addition to burning pain when urinating, UTIs also cause frequent or alternating urination, foul-smelling urine, and bloody urine. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the kidneys or other body parts. UTI can be treated with antibiotics.
2. Wounds near the urethra
Urine is acidic. When urine flows about a wound or injury to the skin around the urinary hole, urinating will feel sore and hot. Even a small wound.
Injuries near the urethra usually occur due to shaving the genitals, friction from intercourse, small pimples, and other scratches that can make urine feel hot.
Small injuries usually disappear on their own. If the urethra is painful, or the wound is large and infected until it causes fever, you should contact a doctor immediately.
3. Venereal disease
Venereal disease can cause urinary tract problems. Pain and heat during urination are the most common symptoms of venereal disease transmitted through sex. For example, chlamydia.
Anyone who has had sex before has contracted venereal disease, even if it has previously been tested negative. Because the symptoms of venereal disease usually develop in a long time.
4. Interstitial cystitis
Interstitial cystitis is a chronic disease that causes pressure and pain in the bladder, and sometimes pain in the pelvis, from mild to severe pain.
People with this condition may experience burning sensations or other unusual sensations when urinating, such as urinating hot.
This condition is more common in women than in men.
5. Genital infections
Genital infections can cause urine to feel hot. In women, these symptoms can be caused by fungal infections or bacterial infections of the vagina, vaginitis (vaginal inflammation), or vulvodynia.
While in men, the infection that causes urine feels hot and the usual pain is caused by prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) or epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis).
6. Pain after labor
After giving birth, many women experience tears in the area between the vagina and anus. This condition is known as perineal tear. If urine touches the wound it can cause pain like burning for several weeks after giving birth.
7. Vaginal changes after menopause
After menopause, the body produces less estrogen. This can change vaginal tissue, which makes the vagina shrink and weaken. The vagina also feels dry, which can make the skin and other tissues feel sensitive and painful.
When urine touches the vagina or urethra, it may feel hotter than before because of this change.
