Pain passing urine

Pain associated with sexually transmitted infections is most often experienced:

Pain when passing urine can be the result of:
  • cystitis (a bladder infection common in women)
  • urethritis (due to an STI)
  • infection of the soft skin outside the vagina (such as thrush or genital herpes)
  • irritation of the skin such as dermatitis.

What to do

If you are experiencing pain, see your local doctor, family planning clinic or sexual health clinic.
