While most people associate pain during urination with urinary tract infections, also known as UTI, there are also times when a burning sensation or sharp pain during urination is caused by kidney stones. When the stone reaches the junction between your ureter and bladder, this is usually the time that pain occurs, which your doctor may refer to as dysuria. There are also times when kidney stones and infections, such as UTI, occur at the same time. Whether due to an infection or a possible kidney stone, make sure to speak to a doctor if you feel any pain during urination.
