If a man feels stinging pain in his urethra when urinating, be careful of gonorrhea!

Normally, men do not feel any pain when urinating. However, in abnormal cases, men may feel stinging pain when urinating, and even pain in the perineum. So the question is, what causes stinging pain when men urinate? There are mainly the following reasons.

① Gonorrhea

If a large amount of thick, purulent discharge is seen at the urethral opening, it may be gonorrhea.

② Non-gonococcal urethritis

Only thin white mucus may be non-gonococcal urethritis.

③Prostatitis

If there is only a small amount of secretion in the early morning or after urination, or even a small amount of grayish white mucus or purulent secretion is seen when squeezing the urethra, it may be prostatitis.

④Acute gonorrhea

Frequent urination, urgency, severe pain during urination, burning sensation at the urethra, or even abnormal or persistent penile erection may be symptoms of acute gonorrhea.

⑤ Subacute gonorrhea

If there is inflammatory adhesion at the urethral opening and the urine stream is bifurcated like a fountain, it may be subacute gonorrhea.

Is prostate pain the reason for urinary pain?

Male friends who have stinging urination usually work in an environment with too high temperature or sit for a long time, such as drivers, IT industry workers, and people who have unhealthy behaviors in life are very likely to experience stinging urination. What is the cause of stinging urination?

Prostatitis is one of the main causes of urinary pain. Prostatitis is a common prostate disease. Prostatitis is caused by spasmodic pain in the urethral muscles, prostate muscles, or muscles in the perineum and pelvic floor, which is similar to the discomfort of chronic prostatitis. Many male friends will feel prostatitis, but they don’t know that the cause of the pain is likely to come from daily bad habits. Some studies believe that this disease involves primary abnormalities in the pelvic sympathetic nervous system, resulting in incomplete relaxation of the bladder neck and functional stenosis of the external sphincter urethra.
