Male urethritis is a common disease in men. Male urethritis is often caused by urethral orifice or internal urethral obstruction, or by the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs. Male urethritis can be divided into acute urethritis and chronic urethritis. The main symptoms of acute urethritis are more urethral secretions, which begin as mucus, and then gradually become purulent, frequent urination, urgency and pain.
Chronic urethritis has few secretions and mild symptoms. Some patients have no symptoms. Among sexually transmitted diseases, gonococcal urethritis is one of the main diseases, often called gonorrhea, which is caused by gonococcal infection. Another common sexually transmitted disease, non-gonococcal urethritis, is mainly caused by chlamydia and mycoplasma infections.
Prevention and treatment of male urethritis: In non-specific suppuration, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are the most common pathogenic bacteria. Urethritis is often caused by urethral orifice or internal urethral obstruction, such as phimosis, posterior urethral valve, urethral stricture, urethral calculus, etc. Or due to the spread of inflammation in nearby organs, such as prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. Sometimes it can be caused by rigidity or chemical stimulation, such as instrument inspection, indwelling catheter, etc. At the same time, the ability of the body to resist disease is reduced, such as diabetes, chronic liver disease, kidney disease, and year-round use of immunosuppressive agents, which are also prone to urethritis. The main symptoms of acute urethritis are more urethral secretions, which are initially mucus, then gradually become purulent, frequent urination, urgency and pain. Chronic urethritis has few secretions, mild symptoms, and segment patients have no symptoms.
