Burning when I pee

Burning with urination is most often a urinary tract infection (UTI) and is usually treatable with a short course of antibiotics — but it can also be an STI (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis), yeast infection, or prostatitis. A licensed provider can review symptoms online, order urinalysis or STI testing, and prescribe antibiotics (nitrofurantoin, TMP-SMX, fosfomycin) or antifungals when appropriate.
