Hi Anon,

Thank you for your question. Urination pain, including burning, pressure, or other types of discomfort, is generally a symptom of an underlying disease or disorder, including infection, inflammation, or other conditions of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra) or reproductive system.
Urination pain can be caused by:
Atrophic vaginitis (changes in the vagina due to menopause)
Bladder tumor or prostate cancer
Cervicitis (infection of the cervix by a sexually transmitted disease) or urethritis (inflammation or infection of the urethra)
Chemotherapy
Cystitis (inflammation or infection of the bladder)
Exposure of the genital area to irritating substances or allergens, such as perfumed soaps or spermicides
Genital herpes
Kidney stone
Long-term use of an indwelling bladder catheter, a tube that drains urine from the bladder
Prostatitis (inflammation or infection of the prostate gland)
Urinary tract infection (UTI), such as a bladder infection or kidney infection (pyelonephritis)
Vaginitis including yeast infections

Please keep us updated once you've had a chance to speak with your doctor.

Good Luck,

Rosa
