2. Painful Urination
Experiencing pain while urinating can be a symptom of multiple STDs, including chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea. Ulcers associated with genital herpes can also cause pain during urination. Pain caused by trichomoniasis often occurs following urination or ejaculation, while pain during urination is symptomatic of gonorrhea. Painful urination might also be a symptom of a simple urinary tract infection. That’s why it’s important to get a thorough exam to determine the specific cause. If the pain is accompanied by a discharge from the penis, dark urine, or testicular pain see a healthcare provider immediately.
