What is the reason for red spots on male urethra?

Many male friends will have red spots on their urethra, which seriously affects their sex life. So what causes red spots on the urethra? In fact, this is mainly caused by male urethritis. At this time, you must seek medical treatment in time to avoid causing more serious damage to your body.

1. Causes of red spots at the urethral opening

Red spots on the male urethra are a common symptom. The doctor said that red spots on the male urethra are a symptom of urethritis. Urethritis is divided into acute urethritis and chronic urethritis. The symptoms of different types of urethritis are different. When a man suffers from acute urethritis, the urethra will become red and swollen, and there will be red spots on the urethra. At the same time, when a man suffers from urethritis, there will be secretions at the urethra, with more secretions in the acute phase and less secretions in the chronic phase.

2. Symptoms of male urethritis are commonly as follows:

1. Urinary tract irritation, i.e. frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and uncomfortable urination. The severity of these symptoms varies from patient to patient. Acute inflammation patients often have obvious urinary tract irritation; however, in the elderly, children, and patients with chronic urinary tract inflammation, the urinary tract irritation symptoms are usually mild, such as slight frequent urination, urgent urination, or uncomfortable urination.

2. Male urethritis also manifests as systemic poisoning symptoms, such as fever, tremors, headache, etc. It is mainly seen in patients with upper urinary tract infections, especially acute urinary tract infections and patients with urinary tract obstruction.

3. Male urethritis is often caused by obstruction of the urethra orifice or the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs. Among sexually transmitted diseases, gonococcal urethritis is one of the main diseases, often called gonorrhea, which is caused by gonococcal infection. Another common sexually transmitted disease is non-gonococcal urethritis, which is mainly caused by chlamydia and mycoplasma infection.

3. Improper treatment of urethritis can cause a variety of complications

1. Cause other urinary system diseases: Once the patient is sick, bacteria often lurk in the urethra, especially the posterior urethra and enter the urethral crypts, paraurethral glands, urethral bulbs, prostate and seminal vesicles. They can also invade the vas deferens, epididymis and testicles, causing a series of complications, such as cystitis and prostatitis. Improper treatment of acute urethritis may even lead to paraurethral abscesses, which can penetrate the penis skin and become urethral fistulas.

2. Can cause male infertility: The main reason why urethritis can cause male infertility is that the inflammation causes urethral stenosis and obstruction of the urethral opening. If it affects the vas deferens and epididymis, it can cause fibrous tissue hyperplasia, deformation, and scar formation, resulting in obstruction of the vas deferens. When complicated with inflammation of the epididymis, seminal vesicles, and prostate, it can affect the quality of semen and reduce sperm survival rate and motility.
