The medical term for pain experienced when urinating is known as dysuria. It is a broad term to describe discomfort when urinating including burning during urination. At other times urinary pain may be unrelated to the process of urination. Kidney pain (flank pain), ureteral pain (loin pain), bladder pain and urethral pain may persist even when not urinating. In men, the prostate is an important organ to consider in terms of urinary pain and any urinary problems.
