What causes red bumps at the male urethra?

Some men are confused. They are usually very clean, but why do they have red bumps at the urethra? However, because the disease occurs in the private parts, some people are often ashamed to see a doctor and often buy some medicine to treat it. But the effect of this treatment can be imagined. If you want to cure the disease, you must first know what the disease is and what causes it, so that you can treat it symptomatically.

The causes of this disease can be divided into two categories: one is simple or non-infectious factors; the other is infectious or contagious diseases. The former, except for physiological phimosis, excessive foreskin, after sexual maturity, smegma stimulation or a few mechanical damage factors, will cause redness, swelling and burning inflammatory changes of the glans; the latter, unless it is caused by infectious factors, is also the phimosis caused by pathogenic microorganisms as the main factor, among which bacterial and fungal infections are the most common.

Except for a few bacteria with strong toxins (such as gonococci), most of the pathogens of infectious male balanitis are non-pathogenic microorganisms, or low-toxic bacteria can often become pathogenic factors under the right conditions, so it is also called a disease caused by conditional pathogens.

Among the conditional pathogens that cause balanoposthitis, fungi, Trichomonas or certain anaerobic bacteria are the most common. For patients with balanoposthitis, the source of these pathogens is mostly exogenous, that is, the bacteria are transmitted to men by their sexual partners, and the disease occurs when they encounter suitable body conditions.

Many conditional pathogens breed in the female vagina. The monthly endocrine changes in women may affect the pH conditions in the vagina, which is conducive to the active reproduction of these parasites. The increase in number becomes a pathogenic factor, causing local itching, burning, mucosal swelling, congestion, and even mucosal rashes or erosions. As the vaginal secretions increase, the pseudomembranes of microorganisms (fungi or trichomonas) form flocculent leucorrhea, or foamy secretions overflow, and the fishy odor gradually increases. During the period of microbial reproduction in the female vagina, sexual intercourse between men and women can easily become an opportunity for men to be infected, leading to the occurrence of balanitis.

When red bumps appear at the urethral opening, it is most likely glansitis. At this time, you must go to the hospital for timely examination and actively treat it after diagnosis. Do not avoid seeing a doctor just because it is a private disease, which will lead to further aggravation of the disease and delay the opportunity to treat the disease. At the same time, you should pay attention to your own hygiene in daily life to reduce the possibility of illness.
