Male fungal urethritis actually has a latent period!

Male fungal urethritis is a type of sexually transmitted disease that can be transmitted through sexual contact and is extremely harmful. If you want to stay away from this disease, you must understand its symptoms.

Symptoms of fungal urethritis in men

The incubation period of male candidal urethritis is difficult to accurately diagnose, especially for those who have many sexual partners or are asymptomatic carriers of pathogens. The typical symptoms of male candidal urethritis are urethral itching, varying degrees of frequent urination, urgency, urinary pain and painful urination. There is mucous or purulent secretion at the urethral opening, and the symptoms are milder than those of gonorrhea. A small amount of secretion is easily seen when there is no urination for a long time or when there is no urination at night until the morning urination. Some develop into a crust or yellowish dirt on the underwear. For those who do not have obvious symptoms or have a short interval between urination, urethral secretions are easily washed away by urine. Male fungal urethritis examination shows edema or redness at the urethral opening, eversion of the urethral opening, and mucus or purulent secretions. Squeezing the urethra from the root of the penis to the urethral opening can squeeze out mucus or purulent secretions, occasionally with slight tenderness. Patients feel frequent urination, severe urinary pain, or burning pain at the end of urination.

Causes of fungal urethritis in men

Male mycotic urethritis is actually a rare disease. Usually, the body has strong resistance and a normal immune system, so fungi are not easy to invade and cause infection. However, the incidence of male mycotic is also very high, which is related to unhygienic conditions, external factors such as long-term chronic wasting diseases and abuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics, etc. In addition, excessive foreskin is also one of the key causes of the disease.

Fungal infection can cause urethritis only under the following circumstances:

1. Malignant tumors are treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc., which damages the immune system;

2. Organ transplantation uses immune-overcoming therapy to overcome the immune system;

3. Long-term suffering from slowly wasting diseases, such as leukemia, diabetes, tuberculosis, etc., which reduces the body's resistance;

4. Immune deficiency diseases, such as AIDS;

5. Long-term urinary catheterization, especially long-term use of antibiotics after urinary catheterization;

6. Indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may cause imbalance of normal bacterial flora.
