Strangury

Overview
Strangury is a urological condition in which there is painful urination.

Signs and symptoms
Typically, it is described as a 'wrenching' sensation at the end of urination. Strangury may sometimes be associated with the passage of only a few drops of urine. The pain is attributed to irritation of urothelium(epithelium lining the urinary tract) and subsequent spasm of muscles.

 * 1) Urinary calculus (stone)
 * 2) Bladder inflammation (cystitis)
