What are the early symptoms of male urethritis?

What are the early symptoms of male urethritis? I believe this is a question that most patients and even healthy people are very concerned about. In fact, urethritis is a common urinary system disease. Its symptoms usually bring great inconvenience to the patient's life. If it is not treated in time, it may cause a variety of complications and even threaten male fertility. Therefore, early detection and early treatment are the most desirable. Let me take you to understand this issue.

The early symptoms of male urethritis include:

1. Both gonorrhea and non-gonococcal urethritis have urethral discharge, varying degrees of urinary pain and urethral discomfort, itching and even burning sensation. Generally, urinary urgency, frequent urination or hematuria are less common. The discharge of gonorrhea is mostly yellow purulent and large in volume; while NGU is white, clear, mucous and small in volume. However, sometimes this is not the case, or even the opposite. Therefore, it is unreliable to judge which type of urethritis it is based on the characteristics of the discharge.

2. The urethral opening is red and swollen, and purulent, mucopurulent, or mucous secretions flow out of the urethra.

3. A very small number of patients may develop certain complications due to problems with treatment methods or delayed treatment. For example, gonorrhea patients may develop paraurethral gland inflammation, posterior urethritis, and later urethral stenosis.

4. Symptoms of chronic urethritis: Chronic urethritis is often developed from acute inflammation of the anterior urethra that has not been properly treated. It is characterized by repeated urethritis symptoms or lasting for more than 2 months. The patient feels that the symptoms have been alleviated, with only mild tingling and discomfort in the urethra, and a significant decrease in secretions. It may be combined with prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, cystitis, or cause urethral stenosis. Drug treatment is not easy to be thorough, and it is a mental burden or neurological symptoms appear.

5. Symptoms of acute urethritis: Anterior urethritis can manifest

The symptoms are itching, burning and pain in the external urethral orifice and fossa naviculare, mild redness and swelling of the external urethral orifice, followed by urethral mucosal inflammation, gradually forming a large amount of yellow-white pus overflowing from the urethral orifice, the urethral orifice becomes red, swollen and everted, urinary pain, painful erection and other phenomena; it may be complicated by phimosis, etc.; enlarged inguinal lymph nodes are called gonorrheal hernia; some patients may have systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, and fatigue.

Have you already understood the above five early symptoms of male urethritis? If you also have the above symptoms, you need to go to the local regular authoritative hospital for examination as soon as possible and receive targeted treatment according to the doctor's instructions. In addition, you should also pay attention to not having sexual behavior during the illness to avoid cross infection, pay attention to a light diet, drink plenty of water, and develop good living habits. I wish you good health.
