Painful urination and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying may result from a urinary tract infection. When bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma invade the bladder or urethra, patients often experience sharp pain or a burning sensation during urination. In addition to actively following the physician’s treatment plan, patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods in their diet.
