Causes of redness and swelling in the male urethra

Redness and swelling inside the urethra means that an infection has occurred and inflammation has occurred. When a man has redness and swelling inside the urethra, it is usually caused by urethritis. Although there are many reasons for this disease, the most fundamental reason is caused by pathogenic bacteria. When redness and swelling inside the urethra appear, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment. The most taboo thing is to use some drugs at home. The following are the reasons for redness and swelling inside the male urethra:

One is caused by excessive foreskin or phimosis

Such patients should undergo circumcision to expose the glans penis and reduce the irritation of moisture and smegma around the urethral opening. This can gradually reduce or eliminate the redness of the urethral opening.

The second is caused by urinary tract infection (such as prostatitis, etc.) or sexually transmitted diseases (such as gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, etc.).

Such patients should go to a regular hospital for examination and, after a clear diagnosis, receive active and thorough treatment. Some patients with urinary tract infection found that their urethral opening was red during the illness. After treatment, the symptoms of urinary tract infection disappeared and various examinations were normal, but the urethral opening was still red. They thought that their urinary tract disease was not completely cured, and they looked for a cure for the disease everywhere. The result was futile. In fact, as long as the urethral opening is not painful or itchy, other symptoms have disappeared, and various examinations are normal, the disease is cured, and patients do not need to worry about it.

The third reason is due to bad working environment or eating habits.

Bad habits increase the temperature of the genitals, causing them to become damp and sweaty. In this case, the patient only needs to drink more water, eat less spicy food, and drink less alcohol, and the symptoms will gradually improve.
