What would cause it to hurt when I pee?

Question:

So I woke up this morning and it hurt when I peed. But I know it can sting from STD’s. But I can tell you right off the bat that’s not what it is. I don’t see how I could have gotten a kidney stone, so what could it be, and furthermore how could I make it stop?

Answer

The most common reason is a urinary tract infection. Women get these frequently, but men are not immune to them. You’ll have to see a doctor because you’ll need to take oral medication to kill the infection if that is what it is.

If you are uncircumcised, you can cut down on urinary tract infections by making sure you clean under your foreskin daily.
