What are the symptoms of male genital infection?

Genitals are very important to the human body. Organs determine whether the body is healthy. Male reproductive organs are a symbol of the health of the reproductive system. Men should take good care of them in daily life, because many people nowadays often do not pay attention to cleanliness, thinking that boys do not need to clean their reproductive organs. Long-term secretion of grease and secretions, coupled with frequent urination, will cause bacterial infection if not paid attention to cleaning, and gradually develop infection and inflammation, which will cause sexual transmission and finally spread to parasites, syphilis, and various bacteria. Genital infection is usually accompanied by scrotal redness, swelling, pain, bloating, itching, and rashes. Active treatment is required in daily life, and some appropriate methods of preventive care are used.

Symptoms and signs

Reproductive infections are also called sexually transmitted diseases. They are a group of diseases that are mainly transmitted through sexual contact. Internationally, more than 20 infectious diseases caused by sexual behavior or similar sexual behaviors are included in the category of reproductive infections. The more common reproductive infections include gonorrhea, syphilis, non-gonococcal urethritis, condyloma acuminatum, Chlamydia trachomatis, chancroid, genital herpes, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B and AIDS. Reproductive infections can be caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. Reproductive infections caused by viruses include genital warts, hepatitis B and genital herpes. Reproductive infections caused by bacteria include gonorrhea and syphilis. Scabies, trichomoniasis and pubic lice are reproductive infections caused by parasites.

In the acute stage, the patient will experience redness, swelling and pain in the scrotal skin, and a noticeable feeling of swelling when walking. If the acute stage is not treated properly, it may turn into chronic orchitis. In the acute stage, you should rest in bed, elevate the scrotum and apply hot compresses, use antibiotics for treatment, and abstain from sexual intercourse, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. After orchitis is cured, it will not affect the secretion of male hormones and will not affect sexual life. Urethritis is mostly caused by retrograde infection, that is, the bacteria directly invade the urethra. In the acute stage, the patient will show congestion and edema of the urethral mucosa, or erosion and ulcer formation, redness and swelling of the urethral opening, mucous or purulent secretions, urethral tenderness and hardening; severe cases may affect the epididymis and spermatic cord. When you are sick, you should get adequate rest, refrain from drinking alcohol, and avoid sexual intercourse.

Treatment

It is mainly treated with oral or intramuscular antibiotics. Prostatitis is mostly caused by the direct spread of urethritis, or acute inflammation of other tissues and organs caused by blood and lymph infection. It is a common disease in young and middle-aged men. Acute prostatitis has an acute onset, and is often manifested by general weakness, back pain, discomfort in the perineum and anus, accompanied by urinary pain, frequent urination, urgency and even hematuria. Some people have decreased libido, premature ejaculation or impotence. After the disease, you should pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, control your sexual life, and insist on using antibiotics for treatment. Nonbacterial prostatitis has symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and physiological dysfunction, but laboratory tests cannot detect bacteria.

It is mainly caused by excessive sexual activity, being in a state of sexual excitement for too long, or pelvic congestion caused by riding a bicycle or horse. For this type of patients, Chinese medicine, hot water bath, and local massage are often used for treatment. Epididymitis is caused by urethral stenosis, prostatic hyperplasia, urethritis, and infection with tuberculosis and gonorrhea, which spreads retrogradely. The epididymis is tightly attached to the posterior and lateral side of the testicle and is composed of a tortuous and convoluted epididymal duct. It has the important role of promoting sperm maturation, storing sperm, and absorbing dead sperm. Therefore, when the epididymis on both sides is lesioned, it can cause infertility. In the acute stage, the symptoms are scrotal swelling and pain, which can pull the lower abdomen and thigh roots, making it difficult to walk. If the acute stage is not treated thoroughly, it may turn into chronic epididymitis, so the acute stage must be treated thoroughly. During treatment, the scrotum can be elevated, local cold compresses can be applied, and effective antibiotics and other symptomatic treatment methods can be used.
