Here are some reasons which may contribute for your burning sensation while urinating. Urinary Tract Infections(UTI): Most women face from urinary tract infection at some point in their life. Frequent urge to urinate, burning urination and fever with chills are associated with UTI. Factors that leave you at high risk of UTI are diabetes, pregnancy, kidney stones or having a urinary catheter. Sexually transmitted diseases: Burning urination can occur in cases of sexually transmitted diseases such as genital herpes, Chlamydia and gonorrhoea. In such cases, burning urination will be accompanied by itching, blisters or sores for genital herpes and abnormal discharge. Inflammation: Inflammation in any part of the urinary tract will cause burning during urination.

 Inflammation can occur due to various reasons like interstitial cystitis, vaginal changes related to menopause, use of douches or spermicides, side-effects from certain medications and tumours. Kidney stones: Burning urination is a common symptom in case of kidney stones. It commonly occurs when the stones move down the ureter approaching the urinary bladder. This will cause a stronger urge to urinate and the urination will be painful. This will also lead to vomiting and pain in the back. Fungal infections: Fungal infections, especially vaginal candidiasis is a common cause of burning urination. This is generally associated with diabetes. With yeast, the burning sensation occurs when acidic urine touches the irritated skin of the vulva and so the burning arise when the urine reaches out.

Pregnancy: Pregnancy is a physiologic condition which will make our immune system a little weak. Chances are more for getting infections while the immune system is not strong enough to fight against external invasions. The urinary tract infection thus occurs will cause painful urination.

Prostitis: While urinary infections are less common in males due to the length of the urethra, prostatitis is one of the frequent causes of burning urination in males. Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland which may occur in young and middle-aged men.
