Hello
Painful urination may be due to urinary tract infection(UTI).
You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,renal function test,urine RE/ME,Urine culture and sensitivity and Ultrasound of abdomen.
Leukocyte esterase test and nitrite test can be done for confirmation of UTI.
Proper antibiotics should be prescribed after culture and sensitivity report.
You should drink plenty of water.
Get well soon.
Take Care
