What is the reason for redness in men's urethra?

The swelling of the urethra is a manifestation of inflammatory infection of the urogenital system. In men, urethritis is the most common. The swelling of the urethra is mostly the acute inflammatory stage of urethritis. At the same time, men often experience itching, burning, and stinging in the urethra, and sometimes urgency and difficulty in urination. The urethra is congested or swollen, with sebaceous, mucous or thin white secretions, or there is a "sweating" phenomenon in the morning.

Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethral mucosa. There are many causes for the disease, the most fundamental of which is the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms into the urethra. These microorganisms are mainly gonococci, gonococci, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, candida albicans, trichomonas, and some bacteria that normally reside in the human body. Masturbation habits, excessive masturbation, smoking, drinking, wearing tight underwear, long-term bicycle riding, horse riding, long-term indwelling catheters, urethral foreign bodies, etc., put pressure on and damage the urethra, leading to local congestion, ischemia, and hypoxia, which reduces the resistance of the urethral mucosa and makes it easy to get infected.

Note

1. Pay attention to hygiene, especially girls should wash the vulva with warm water every night to prevent infection; newborns should wash their buttocks and vulva in time after defecation.

2. Change diapers and underwear frequently, and try not to wear open-crotch pants.

3. Do not let the baby crawl or sit on the ground to play.

4. Pay attention to dietary nutrition, strengthen physical exercise, and improve disease resistance.

5. Actively treat various infectious diseases.

When the urethral opening becomes red and swollen due to urinary tract infection, the following methods can be used to care for the child:

1. During the acute phase, you should rest in bed and drink plenty of water to increase urine volume so as to excrete bacteria and toxins.

Redness and swelling of the urethral opening is a manifestation of genitourinary tract infection, and acute urethritis is the most common in men.

Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethral mucosa. There are many causes for the disease, the most fundamental of which is the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms (such as gonococci, mycoplasma, chlamydia, Candida albicans, etc.) into the urethra. In addition, masturbation, smoking, drinking, wearing tight underwear, long-term bicycle riding, foreign bodies in the urethra, etc. can reduce the resistance of the urethral mucosa and make it easy to get infected.

Purulent secretions appear in the urethra, which are mucous at first and gradually become purulent, accompanied by redness and swelling of the urethral orifice, mucosal eversion, urgency, frequency, pain, urethral stinging, mental depression, and severe cases are accompanied by chills, high fever, and difficulty urinating.

Chronic urethritis patients will have less secretions, and in the non-acute period, symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and urgent urination will be alleviated, with only itching or ants feeling, and some patients may have no symptoms. It is generally easy to ignore and misdiagnose.

According to statistics, 20% of chronic renal failure is caused by urethritis if urethritis is not cured or allowed to develop. Nearly 80% of patients with sexual dysfunction and infertility are related to the pathological changes of urethritis. At the same time, because the bacteria hidden in the urethra enter the urethral crypts, paraurethral glands, urethral bulbs, prostate and seminal vesicles, vas deferens, epididymis and testicles, it causes a series of complications such as cystitis, prostatitis, paraurethral abscesses, urethral fistulas, etc., which are very harmful to male reproductive health.
