What are the causes of acute urethritis? Why is it difficult to cure?

Experts say that there are generally two types of urine problems in men, one is prostatitis and the other is urethritis. Today we will mainly talk about the latter. What causes urethritis?

The causes of acute urethritis are:

1. Bad habits. For example, masturbation, excessive sexual intercourse, smoking, drinking, wearing tight underwear, long-term bicycle or horse riding, long-term indwelling catheter, foreign bodies in the urethra, etc., which can cause pressure and damage to the urethra, leading to local congestion, ischemia, and hypoxia, which can reduce the resistance of the urethral mucosa and make it easy to get infected;

2. Not drinking water regularly. The urethra is the sewer of the human body. Urine is highly irritating and corrosive. If you do not drink water regularly to dilute it, the irritation of urine will increase. This is one of the basic reasons.

3. The causes of urethritis are closely related to irregular lifestyle, unhygienic conditions, and sitting in the cold for a long time.

Some men say that they had urethritis and it recurred after treatment. For such a problem, experts in andrology hospitals say that men with recurring urethritis should pay attention to the causes of urethritis and the following points:

The reasons why urethritis cannot be cured for a long time are:

1. Failure to ensure adequate course of treatment: Mycoplasma and Chlamydia are intracellular parasitic microorganisms that are not as sensitive to antibiotics as ordinary bacteria, so the duration of medication should be relatively long, generally about two weeks.

2. Not using a single drug: The interactions between drugs are complex and variable. Generally speaking, unless it is known that they have synergistic and complementary effects, more than two drugs should not be used at the same time to treat non-gonococcal urethritis.

3. Hidden examination and treatment of sexual partners: For various reasons, some people who have sexually transmitted diseases do not want to let their families know, so they also neglect the diagnosis and treatment of their sexual partners, resulting in repeated infections. This does not mean that treatment is ineffective.

4. Neuroallergy factors: Some urethral irritation symptoms originate from psychological factors and are a special manifestation of neurological dysfunction. Some patients with allergic constitutions have achieved certain therapeutic effects with anti-allergic treatment, indicating that some patients are related to allergic reactions.
