Burning Urine Remedy

Burning urine is a characteristic symptom of a urinary tract infection. The bladder, which is made up of stretchable muscles, holds urine. However, there may be occasional pains in the bladder when you have urinary tract infection. As the urine flows out from the bladder to the urethra, there may be a painful burning sensation. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important that you see a doctor or a urologist.

• The juice of water melon, with added sugars, is also an excellent remedy for burning urine. Drink this everyday till the burning sensation subsides.

While these are some of home remedies for burning urine, remember that a burning sensation while urine a symptom and not the problem itself. Hence, you must consult a doctor and get treatment for the underlying cause. The home remedies can be used complimentary with the medical treatment.


Dysuria, a common condition, is typically characterized by painful urination in which there is a burning sensation. This is a common, though often misdiagnosed problem in both men and women. Usually, this symptom is caused due to any kind of infection, although this might not always be the case.

Some of the common causes of dysuria include vulvitis, kidney stone, gonorrhea, ovarian cysts, vaginitis, kidney stones, cancer in the prostate gland, chlamydia, urethritis, stones in the bladder, kidney or liver infections, genital herpes, yeast infection in the vagina, enlargement of the prostrate, trichomoniasis, urinary tract infection, interstitial cystitis, and dermatitis that affects the groin region.

You may need to contact your physician if you see blood in the urine. However, if blood is not present, dysuria may be treated by following a specific diet aimed at curing the infection. A person who is suffering from dysuria should consume a diet which contains lots of fiber and fluids. Water and fluids help cleanse the kidneys and flush out toxins. There may be an infection in the kidneys and therefore it is best to avoid stressing them. People who experience a burning sensation while urinating are usually asked to abstain from consuming pulses and beans. During your treatment, you should also refrain from eating other forms of proteins. Pumpkin and gourd, especially of the white variety, should be given to the patient. These vegetables can be given in the cooked form or in the form of soups.

In addition to the white gourd, also avoid green vegetables like radish greens, fenugreek, and spinach. Lady fingers and tomatoes should also be avoided, since they can cause mineral formations, adding to any existing stones. If you have constipation along with dysuria, add some fiber to your diet. Drink nearly eight to ten glasses of water throughout the day. When the volume of urine increases, it can cleanse the kidneys and the pain may reduce. However, cut down on the quantity of water that you drink at night. Avoid oily or spicy foods, because these take a long time to get digested. Cardamom, chicken soup, barley, wheat, and parboiled rice can be consumed regularly.

Along with a healthy diet, the patient should also maintain a healthy lifestyle. Go for regular walks or do light exercises everyday. When you pair physical activity with a healthy diet, you increase your immunity so that the body can fight off infections. This also helps you flush out toxins from your body.
