Dysuria presents with distinct companion symptoms that point to specific causes: frequency/urgency/suprapubic pain → cystitis; urethral discharge → urethritis (often STI); haematuria with clot colic → bladder cancer or stones; neurological symptoms → neurogenic bladder; post-coital in a young healthy woman → 'honeymoon cystitis'. The diagnostic shortcut is the cluster, not the symptom alone.
