Male urethral ulcer is caused by this reason

The male urethra should be clean and smooth, but in daily life, many male friends have urethral swelling and pus discharge, which is the symptom of male urethral ulcer, which makes male friends very painful. So what are the causes of male urethral ulcer? In fact, it is caused by balanitis.

1. Balanitis can lead to urethral ulcers:

Balanitis is the most common reproductive infection. In the early stage of the disease, the glans penis and the foreskin surface are edematous, congested, and the glans penis becomes red. The area around the urethra becomes red and there are wounds and ulcers. It can develop into superficial ulcers with purulent secretions. The patient will feel redness, itching or burning sensation on the glans penis, followed by pain. After erosion, pus may flow out with a foul odor. In severe cases, there will also be fatigue, low fever, enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, and redness and tenderness of the glans penis.

Balanitis is mostly caused by excessive foreskin. When the foreskin is too long, a large amount of dirt secreted by the inner side of the foreskin cannot be cleaned out smoothly, and smegma is easily formed. Smegma is most suitable for bacterial growth and reproduction, which can easily cause balanitis. Excessive masturbation can damage the foreskin and glans, and frequent use of chemical detergents can irritate the glans, which can also easily cause balanitis. Some men have unclean sex and have pre-existing sex with fungal carriers, which can also lead to balanitis and cause ulcers on the glans and urethra.

2. Hazards and Treatment

If phimosis is not treated early, it will cause inflammation in other parts of the urinary system and reproductive system, such as cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis, orchitis, etc. During the period of phimosis, due to inflammatory stimulation, the inflammation will worsen, causing symptoms such as premature ejaculation and impotence during sexual life, affecting sexual dysfunction; some inflammatory factors will also reduce the quality of semen and destroy ovarian cells, leading to male infertility.
