4. The sensation of burning during urination
Burning urine is never a good sign. Beyond the fact that it has been satirized as a common symptom of STDs, there are other conditions that could lead to this fiery pissing, so to speak. While it may seem like a “meme”, there is actually a lot of evidence showing that STDs lead to a burning sensation during urination.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea — two of the most common STDs in the world — have been known to make your pee burn. Urinary tract infections can also lead to a burning sensation whenever you void your bladder. That being said, if you don’t have any STDs and the burning persists longer than a urinary tract infection, it may be the result of interstitial cystitis. A doctor will be able to confirm or deny your suspicions after running a few urine tests.
