Dysuria is the term for which of the following symptoms?

Dysuria specifically refers to the symptom of painful urination. It is a medical term derived from the Greek roots "dys," meaning difficult or painful, and "uria," which relates to urine. This condition can be associated with various urinary tract issues, such as infections, inflammation, or obstruction. Recognizing dysuria is important for diagnosing underlying conditions that may require treatment.

The other terms in the choices refer to different symptoms: difficult breathing pertains to respiratory issues; difficulty swallowing relates to esophageal or throat problems; and the presence of gallstones involves gastrointestinal complications. Each of these conditions has distinct characteristics and implications, but they do not relate to the symptom of painful urination.
