    Painful urination is often caused by a urinary tract infection or a prostate infection.  A visit to your doctor is necessary. Untreated urinary tract infections and prostate infections can spread causing a severe condition. An enlargement of the prostate (benign hyperplasia and cancer) can also cause urinary symptoms, specially the feeling that the bladder is not empty after urinating and be the basis for a urinary infection.  It is vitally important that you see your own health care provider for a complete evaluation and treatment.
