What Is The Cause Of Sudden And Severe Pain While Urination After A Sneeze?
Question: Dear Doctor,
Today morning after I woke up I went to urinate. I had just begun to urinate and everything was good when I suddenly sneezed hard. Due to the sudden sneeze my urine was kind of forced to gush out and I immediately felt a sharp n burning pain till I finished urinating. The pain subsided immediately after the urine stopped. Now each time I go for urinating, I get a terrible pain along with a burning sensation ... what could be wrong? Would I have wounded myself due to the pressure from the sneeze? Kindly advise..

Brief Answer:
Could be due to passing a small urinary stone .
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Based on the facts that you have posted the possible explanation for sudden and severe pain while urinating on sneezing is that you mostly have a small stone in bladder.
Due to sudden increase in intra abdominal pressure while sneezing, the stone has passed out forcibly through urethra causing a injury to delicate urethral mucosa and that is giving you pain while passing urine .
Get your routine urine tests done .
Start taking antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin and Nitrofurantoin twice daily along with urine alkalizer thrice daily .
Ensure to rink more water .
Hope I have answered your query.
