“Burning sensation while urinating, is this UTI?”
I am a 36 year old woman and I am having a severe burning sensation whenever i urinate. Also when I have the urge to pass urine, it is accompanied by stomach cramps which subside after I pass urine. Could this be the sign of a UTI?

You need to have a urine examination and culture to R/O infection. Age, sex, and duration of symptoms.
Yes, this is consistent with a possible urinary tract infection. My advice is to either go to your primary care physician or to an urgent care and get a clean catch urinary culture. Home remedies can be: take vitamin C 500 mg twice a day for three days and flush yourself with a large amount of water/cranberry juice and sometimes will clear by itself.

Probably. Burning with urination, or dysuria, is usually caused by a UTI. I would call your doctor for antibiotics or go to urgent care to get checked.

Yes, it can be a sign of UTI & acute cystitis. You need to have urinalysis, urine culture and start treatment with antibiotics.
This is a very common symptom of uti, other issues can cause this symptom as well. Need to have urinalysis and careful history to sort out other causes.
