Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Male dysuria (painful urination) is a common symptom. Medication should be selected according to the specific cause. Commonly used treatment methods include:
1. If the painful urination is caused by bacterial infection (such as cystitis or pyelonephritis), doctors usually prescribe appropriate antibiotics, such as ofloxacin and azithromycin. These medications can effectively eliminate pathogens causing urinary tract infections and help alleviate inflammation and pain. Antibiotic use should follow medical guidance to avoid misuse and overuse.
2. For pain caused by prostatitis, in addition to antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and alpha-blockers may be used to relieve symptoms.
3. For acute pain, short-term use of analgesics such as acetaminophen or tramadol may be helpful in relieving symptoms, but long-term dependence is not recommended.
4. For patients with kidney stones, doctors may recommend diuretics to promote urine production, which can help expel the stones.
