Abstract
In the field of urology, dysuria is used in slightly varying ways and includes difficulties during urination up to a painful or burning sensation during voiding. Dysuria can have a variety of underlying medical conditions, the most common of which at young age is urinary tract infection that occurs mostly in adolescent women. Older patients mostly tend to have dysuria due to benign prostate hyperplasia; therefore, dysuria in the elderly population mostly occurs in the male population.
