What causes burning sensation while urinating?

Q: I am a 35 years old male experiencing burning sensation while passing urine. What can be the reasons for this? How can it be treated?

A:Burning at the time of passing urine can be seen in conditions associated with stones in the urinary system, infection of the urethra, or when the pH of the urine is acidic. It can also be seen if there is some disturbance in the function of the regional nerves. Treatment will depend on what is the final diagnosis. You need to be seen by a good venereologist or a dermatologist with an interest in venereology.
