A member asked:

Can burning while urination be a sign of dehydration?

Dr. Lane Childs answered

Specializes in Urology

Yes: Concentrated urine with a high specific gravity is commonly associated with dysuria, or painful voiding. There are certainly many other reasons for painful urination however so do not assume concentrated urine the cause of painful voiding.
