Dysuria is painful or difficult urination, often a sign of infection or inflammation.
means Dysuria is the medical term for pain, burning, or difficulty when you urinate, often a sign of a urinary tract infection or inflammation.
from Straight from Greek: 'dys-' meaning bad or difficult, the same prefix lurking in dysfunction and dyslexia, plus 'ouron' meaning urine (the root that also gives us 'urine' and 'urea'). Greek physicians used it exactly as doctors do today — a clinical label for painful urination, with no folklore attached, just two tidy Greek pieces bolted together to describe a very unpleasant sensation.
