Pain/Burning with/after Urination

Pain/Burning with/after Urination

Painful urination describes any pain, discomfort, or burning sensation when passing urine.

Pain may be felt right where the urine passes out of the body. Or, it may be felt inside the body, behind the pubic bone, or in the bladder or prostate. Pain on urination is a fairly common problem. People who have pain with urination also may have the urge to urinate more often.

Painful urination is most often caused by an infection or inflammation somewhere in the urinary tract. For example it may be a:
- Bladder infection in an adult
- Bladder infection in a child
- Swelling and irritation of the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra)  
- Interstitial cystitis
- Prostate infection (prostatitis)
- Radiation cystitis - damage to the bladder lining from radiation therapy to the pelvis area
- Sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia
 
Painful urination and women and girls may be due to:
- Changes in the vaginal tissue during menopause (atrophic vaginitis)
- Herpes infection in the genital area
- Irritation of the vaginal tissue caused by bubble bath, perfumes, or lotions
- Vulvovaginitis, such as yeast or other infections of the vulva and vagina

Alabama State University wins $344K for developing STD vaccine

News:
 
Alabama State University's Center for NanoBiotechnology Research has again won federal grant money for health research, but this time it will be working to develop a vaccine for a common sexually transmitted disease.
 
The National Institute of Health has awarded the ASU center a three-year, $344,000 grant to develop a vaccine that would prevent chlamydia transmission.
 
"This highly competitive NIH award is recognition of growing strengths of research capabilities and research resources available at ASU to conduct cutting-edge research," said Shree Singh, director of the center and co-principal investigator of the project.
 
"We hope to continue to motivate students at ASU to participate in research of this caliber, which will prepare them for high skilled jobs in the nation."
 
Related comment:
 
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide with an estimated one million infections in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
 
While there is currently no vaccine to prevent chlamydia, the disease can be cured using modern antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). For the short-term treatment, antibiotics can effect on chlamydia, while the long-term using antibiotics are likely to cause drug resistance. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicines play the key role in the long-term conservative treatment. For example, more and more females have been cured by the Chinese herbal medicine-fuyan pill because of its remarkable effect and no side effect. The disease can be cured from the root and never reappear. Of course, there is the other herbal pill-diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill for male's chlamydia.
 
However, according to the CDC, between 50 percent and 75 percent of women infected with the disease show no symptoms and do now know they're infected.
 
Left untreated, chlamydia can cause serious reproductive problems. Worse still, the infection can be spread to the eyes, where it can cause blindness.
 
The World Health Organization estimates that chlamydia eye infections accounted for 15 percent of all cases of blindness in 1995, but only 3.6 percent in 2002.
 
Chlamydia can be spread to the eyes by fingers, shared towels and even sneezing. It can also be spread from mothers to children during childbirth.

POC Nucleic Acid Test for Chlamydia

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) — Bay Area startup Diassess has been awarded nearly $300,000 from the National Institutes of Health for the first year of a two-year project to develop a point-of-care, nucleic acid amplification-based diagnostic device for sexually transmitted infections, with an initial focus on chlamydia.


According to the company, the goal of the Phase I Small Business Innovation Research project is to create a working prototype of a rapid, cheap, user-friendly test for Chlamydia trachomatis with sensitivity and specificity that is comparable to centralized molecular tests.

Should it achieve this goal? Diassess will then seek to test the device on a variety of sample types; develop primers against other STIs such as gonorrhea, human papillomavirus, and trichomoniasis; and ramp up clinical trials for the platform in the hopes of bringing a commercial product to market sometime in 2017, according to a recently published grant abstract.


"We've done some preliminary studies with patient samples, and right now it's very promising because we're getting very high levels of specificity and sensitivity, sort of equivalent to the gold standard PCR that is being done in centralized labs," Ivan Dimov, a cofounder and chief technology officer at Diassess and principal investigator on the new grant, which is being administered by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.


Relevant Comments:


As the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world, chlamydia is easily spread because it often causes no symptoms and may be passed to sexual partners unknowingly.


When infected the disease, patients are confused by the symptoms of the abnormal vaginal discharge, painful urination, burning and itching around genitals, painful periods for women, pain and swelling around the testicle for men etc. 


Generally, when you are doubted, you doctor will suggest you do some tests. In the hospital, doctors will use a swab to take a sample from the urethra in men or from the cervix in women and then will send the specimen to a laboratory to be analyzed. There are also other tests which check a urine sample for the presence of the bacteria. However, if this nucleic acid amplification-based diagnostic device has been found, it may be more effective and convenient to make a definite diagnosis.


In clinic, when patients are diagnosed, it is suggested to take antibiotics. But many people are worry about the drug resistance that antibiotics bring to. In order to get a cure and have no side effect, more and more patient have tried the traditional Chinese herbal medicines. For example, diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill, a patented herbal medicine, is made from the pure natural herbs. By taking this pill, men can be cured in about three months and never reappear; fuyan pill for women also can cure chlamydia without any side effect.

How to Cure Ureaplasma Urealyticum Infection

How to Cure Ureaplasma Urealyticum Infection

Mycoplasma is a kind of simplest prokaryote, somehow like between virus and bacterium, among which ureaplasma urealyticum(UU, also known as mycoplasma urealytium) and mycoplasma hominis(MH) are concerned with the diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems, thereinto the positiveness of mycoplasma is of high attack.

 

If mycoplasma is not to be treated timely, it will lead to a series of medical conditions.

 

On men, the infection can firstly endanger the mucosae of urethral canal, and then secondarily cause prostatitis, vesiculitis, orchitis and epididymitis, and the like, of which the symptoms will manifest themselves less or more seriously.

 

Nevertheless, ureaplasma urealyticum can adhere to the head or tail of germs, directly weaken the viability, lower the quantity, lead to abnormality at comparatively high proportion, of germs, or even cause necrospermia and male infertility.

 

Chlamydia is now the most common pathogen to cause STDs in the United States. Like chlamydia, ureaplasma urealyticum can cause stubborn infections which sometimes cannot be cured by antibiotics.

 

Generally, antibiotics are suggested by doctors to cure ureaplasma urealyticum. Dexycycline, azithromycin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, erythromycin, and amoxicillin are common antibiotics for that. One to two weeks antibiotics can be required by doctors. Antibiotic treatment, if taken exactly as directed, normally cures ureaplasma urealyticum infections. If antibiotics are not taken properly, the infection will not be cured.

 

However, each antibiotics do has side effects. It is possible for them to damage the liver and kidneys. Once a course of treatment with a med is finished, the pathogen is resistant to it and become stronger. If the infection on a mancannot be cured within one to two shots, antibiotics are no longer suggested for him.


For stubborn ureaplasma urealyticum infection, herbal remedy can be the best alternatives. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, patented by Dr. Lee Xiaoping, is always suggested for those who suffer from stubborn ureaplasma urealyticum infection. As traditional Chinese medicine always works slowly, it may take three months to completely cure the infection. Even it takes much longer than antibiotics do, it is much safer and is the only choice for those who cannot be cured by antibiotics.
