Activity Description

Dysuria, a commonly encountered medical symptom, refers to the painful or uncomfortable sensation experienced during urination. It is a very prevalent urinary symptom experienced by most people at least once in their lifetime. The causes of dysuria can be divided into 2 categories: infectious and noninfectious. The discomfort associated with dysuria can significantly impact an individual's quality of life and necessitates prompt evaluation and appropriate management. Understanding the potential causes and seeking timely medical attention is crucial to alleviate discomfort and address any underlying health concerns associated with dysuria. Treatment varies depending on the etiology. This activity describes the evaluation and treatment of dysuria and explains the role of the interprofessional team in improving care for patients with this condition.
