Are urinary tract infections in men serious?

Urethritis is one of the common male diseases. Many men don't care much about it, but this is a very dangerous practice. You should know that nearly 80% of patients with sexual dysfunction and infertility caused by urethritis are related to the pathology of urethritis, so it has a very serious impact on male reproductive health. Urethritis is also contagious to a certain extent. So for the harmony of your family, it is best to treat it in time.

Experts say that urethritis affects fertility to a certain extent. Severe cases of urethritis can cause urethral stenosis, resulting in difficulty urinating and ejaculation disorders. Infections of organs near the urethra, such as epididymitis, can cause obstruction, preventing sperm from being transported out of the testicles.

Inducing the production of anti-sperm antibodies Chlamydia and mycoplasma can induce the human body to produce antibodies and affect the motility of sperm. These antibodies may induce humans to produce anti-sperm antibodies themselves, thereby causing infertility.

Experts remind that people with urethritis should not blindly buy anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics. Because long-term use of antibiotics may cause bacterial resistance. If other diseases really need antibiotics, there will be no drugs available. People with urethritis should go to a regular professional hospital for examination and treatment in time.

How to treat urethritis? The treatment of urethritis depends on the situation. The treatment of acute and chronic urethritis is different. Acute urethritis is often treated with a combination of antibiotics and chemical drugs. Systemic treatment should pay attention to rest and drink enough fluids.

During the acute phase, sexual intercourse should be avoided in the short term, otherwise it will prolong the course of the disease; during the chronic phase, if the external urethral orifice or internal urethra is narrow, urethral dilation should be performed. If the patient has urinary tract irritation symptoms, conventional antibacterial treatment is ineffective, and if there are no complicated factors, mycoplasma, chlamydia or viral infection should be considered, and tetracycline can be used for treatment first.

From this we can see that the harm of urethritis is not as serious as some people think. In fact, its harm is quite great. Therefore, if a man gets urethritis, he must seek treatment in time no matter what. He must not delay it, otherwise it may cause infertility in boys. Men must pay attention to changing underwear frequently and pay attention to personal hygiene.
