Several conditions can cause painful urination. Most common in women is a urinary tract infection (UTI) and in men, urethritis and certain prostate conditions are the main cause. Other medical conditions can include bladder or kidney stones, cystitis, genital herpes, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), drugs, such as those used in cancer treatments, kidney infection, vaginitis, or a vaginal yeast infection.
