AB  - Dysuria  is  defined  as  pain  or  burning  associated  with  urination.  The  sensation  is  produced  by  pain  fibers  in  the  inflamed  and  edematous  genitourinary  mucosa  triggered  by  muscular  contraction  of  the  bladder  and  peristaltic  activity  of  the  urethra.1  Pain  fibers  can  also  be  directly  triggered  by  exposure  of  urine  to  inflamed  mucosa.2  Other  sensations  of  discomfort,  such  as  pruritus,  can  be  interpreted  as  dysuria,  especially  in  young  children  who  are  unable  to  verbalize  their  perineal  or  genitourinary  symptoms.3
