What is the meaning of dysuria?

  1. Swelling caused by excess fluid in the body

  2. Difficulty breathing

  3. Difficulty swallowing

  4. Difficult or painful discharge of urine

The correct answer is: Difficult or painful discharge of urine

The term dysuria specifically refers to the experience of discomfort, pain, or difficulty when urinating. This condition can arise for several reasons, including urinary tract infections, inflammation, or irritation of the urethra. Recognizing dysuria is crucial for understanding various aspects of patient care, especially in assessing urinary health and diagnosing potential underlying issues. The other terms listed describe different medical conditions. Swelling caused by excess fluid in the body is known as edema, difficulty breathing is referred to as dyspnea, and difficulty swallowing is called dysphagia. Understanding these distinct terms helps healthcare providers offer more precise care and support tailored to each patient's needs.
