DYSURIA

In medicine, specifically urology, 'dysuria' refers to ''painful'' urination. This is typically described to be a burning or stinging sensation. It is most often a result of an infection of the urinary tract. It may also be due to an STD, bladder stones, bladder tumours, and virtually any condition of the prostate.
It is one of a constellation of ''irritative'' bladder symptoms, which includes frequency of urination and haematuria.
Phenazopyridine (oral) is an effective treatment for pain relief.
Napoleon, Emperor of the French, is said to have suffered from the condition from time to time, particularly in the French invasion of Russia, when he was sometimes unable to inspect the battle field because of this condition.
