So what is the cause of swollen and painful urethra and discomfort in the penis? What diseases should be checked if this happens?

1. Sudden interruption of urination accompanied by pain or urinary retention: seen in bladder, urethral stones or urinary tract foreign bodies.

2. Difficult urination accompanied by bloating and pain: This often indicates prostate hyperplasia in elderly men and may also be seen in urethral stones.

3. Stinging or burning pain during urination: It is more common in acute inflammatory stimulation, such as acute urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and pyelonephritis.

4. If there is obvious pain at the beginning of urination, or if there is dysuria, the lesions are mostly in the urethra, which is common in acute urethritis. This is one of the common symptoms of urinary pain.

5. If there is obvious pain at the end of urination, or if there is still pain after urination, or if there is a feeling of "empty pain", or if there is pain even without urination, the disease is mostly in the urethra or adjacent organs, such as trigone inflammation, prostatitis, etc.

6. Pain at the end of urination and urgency are common in patients with acute cystitis.

Since there are many factors that cause urinary pain and many common symptoms of urinary pain, you must go to the hospital for a checkup when treating urinary pain, and then determine the specific treatment plan based on your individual condition and your own situation. Urinary pain may be caused by some kind of infection in the urinary system. If the urine is obviously bloody during the examination, it may be a serious urinary system infection.

What are the symptoms of penile inflammation?

1. Symptoms of prepuce vulvitis include redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, which worsens during urination, and purulent secretions may flow out of the foreskin opening. If the foreskin is turned over, the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis can be seen to be congested and swollen. In severe cases, there may be shallow ulcers or erosions, with pus.

2. In the early stage of prepuce vulvitis, the glans penis and the foreskin surface are edematous and congested, the area around the urethra is red and there are wounds and erosions, and it can develop into superficial ulcers, with purulent secretions flowing out. The patient feels itching or burning sensation at the glans penis, followed by pain. Many people do not know about candida. After erosion, pus may flow and smell bad. In severe cases, there will also be fatigue, low fever, enlarged inguinal lymph nodes and tenderness.

3. In addition, if it is candidal vulvitis caused by fungal infection, the symptoms are erythema of the glans mucosa, local edema, relatively smooth appearance, mild desquamation of the edges, and papules and small pustules that expand to the surrounding area to form glans erosion. Recurrent glans balanitis can cause foreskin dryness and cracking, fibrosis and sclerosis of the glans.

Penitis treatment methods

(1) Turn the foreskin up, clean the area with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, and keep it dry. If the foreskin cannot be turned up, cut the back of the foreskin to facilitate drainage and cleaning.

(2) Certain antibiotics can be taken for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

(3) After the inflammation subsides, patients with phimosis or prepuce that is too long should undergo circumcision.

(4) After vulvitis, you should avoid spicy or hot foods.
