Painful or Frequent Urination in Men

Good -- that makes urethritis less likely; urethritis is usually due to a sexually transmitted disease such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.

Some very serious urinary tract infections may cause pain or burning during urination; these infections are often associated with other symptoms, such as

• a fever above 100.5F

• shaking chills

• severe back pain

• pain behind the bladder, deep in the pelvis or behind the scrotum

• nausea or vomiting

• a new rash.
