Dysuria and urinary tract infections

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America

Abstract

It has been estimated that up to 25% of American women may experience acute dysuria yearly. Many physicians commonly equate dysuria with urinary tract infection and will treat empirically without adequate evaluation. This therapeutic trial of antibiotics represents undertreatment for many patients and inappropriate treatment for others. It is important that physicians understand that dysuria is only a symptom that can be produced by many different clinical entities.
