Ulcers in male urethra

Ulcers in the male urethra are nothing more than inflammation, which is common in prostatitis and urethritis. Regarding prostatitis, not everyone knows it very well. As a common disease of the male reproductive system, prostatitis often troubles most men. The specific manifestations of prostatitis include ulcers in the urethra, pain, and discomfort in urination. Next, let's introduce it in detail.

What is prostatitis

What is prostatitis? Prostatitis is a systemic or local acute or chronic inflammation caused by specific and non-specific infection of the prostate. Prostatitis is related to diet, living habits, sexual behavior, mental and psychological factors, etc. The main cause of prostatitis is that the body's resistance is reduced, which increases the chance of infection, affects the prostate, and causes some bacterial inflammation. In addition, some irregular lifestyles can easily lead to prostate congestion and some non-bacterial inflammation.

What are the symptoms of prostatitis? The severity of prostatitis varies. Mild cases may have no obvious symptoms, while severe cases may cause general discomfort. Typical symptoms of prostatitis include discomfort during urination, swelling of the posterior urethra, perineum and anus, radiating pain in the genitals, lower abdomen and thigh roots, sexual dysfunction, neurasthenia, etc.

1. Urinary discomfort: The patient will feel bladder irritation, such as frequent urination, burning and pain in the urethra during urination, and radiating to the glans penis. In the early morning, there will be mucus and other secretions in the urethra, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination.

2. Local symptoms: Distension and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum and anus, which is aggravated by squatting, defecation and sitting for a long time.

3. Radiating pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also occurs in the penis, spermatic cord, testicles and scrotum, lower abdomen, and thigh roots.

4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect the quality of semen. White discharge from the urethra may occur after urination or defecation, and hematospermia may occur when combined with seminal vesiculitis.

5. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis may be accompanied by neurasthenia, manifested by fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc. Long-term persistent prostatitis may even cause allergic reactions in the body, resulting in conjunctivitis, arthritis and other lesions.

Does prostatitis affect fertility?

Does prostatitis affect fertility? Prostatitis may affect fertility. Although the relationship between prostatitis and fertility has not been fully clarified, when prostatitis occurs, changes in the secretion function of prostatic fluid may occur, thereby affecting the amount and composition of semen and interfering with the survival and activity of sperm. The decreased activity of enzymes in prostatic fluid will increase the viscosity of semen and prolong the liquefaction time of sperm. The presence of inflammation can also reduce the pH value of semen, produce anti-sperm antibodies, and lead to sperm death.
