What are the symptoms of bacterial urethritis in men?

Among men's diseases, urethritis is also one of the most common symptoms. There are many types of urethritis, including acute, chronic, bacterial infection, and non-bacterial infection. So what are the symptoms of non-bacterial infection?

Symptoms of urethritis in men

First, the patient has a history of fatigue, colds, decreased resistance, and unclean sexual life;

Second, the patient has burning pain in the urethra when urinating, frequent urination, urgency, intermittent pain in the suprapubic area and perineum, and pain when pressing the urethra.

Third, in the acute phase, the urethral opening is red and swollen, and there is urethral secretion, which is mucous at first and then turns to purulent. The urethral mucosa is diffusely congested and edematous, and sometimes ulcers are formed.

Fourth, after urethritis enters the chronic stage, the symptoms are alleviated, the urethral secretions decrease and become a thin slurry, but there is a stinging sensation in the urethra or discomfort when urinating.

Fifth, the urine test shows red blood cells and white blood cells, and a small number of cases have visible hematuria.

Sixth, if you urinate in three glasses one after another, the first glass is turbid, while the second and third glasses are clear, it means anterior urethritis; if the third glass is turbid, while the first and second glasses are clear, it means posterior urethritis.

Seventh, the urethral secretions are positive, and pathogenic bacteria are found after culture.

Men should be careful about "asymptomatic" urethritis

Symptoms of male urethritis. Clinically, some urethritis patients have no obvious symptoms or even no symptoms after being infected with urethritis, and this infection can last for many years. But whether there are symptoms or not, the consequences are equally serious: in addition to urethritis, it can also cause other reproductive organ inflammations, such as epididymitis, prostatitis, vas deferens, etc., and finally lead to infertility.

In addition to the diagnosis of urethritis based on medical history and physical signs, urethral secretions need to be smeared or cultured to identify the pathogenic bacteria. Chronic urethritis requires urethrocystoscopy to clarify the cause of the disease. Sometimes a metal urethral bougie can be used to test whether there is stenosis in the urethra, and urethrography can be performed if necessary. Professional doctors have found through a large number of clinical studies that such bacteria are not heat-resistant. In clinical practice, microwave treatment can control the local temperature at 45℃-50℃ under infrared temperature measurement technology, causing bacterial death. At the same time, it can cause prostate tissue degeneration and atrophy, and glandular shrinkage. It is used to treat urethritis, prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia, etc. If the patient feels that the symptoms are abnormal, he should go to the hospital for examination. If pathogen infection is found, treatment should be sought immediately to prevent it from developing into chronic urethritis.
