Symptoms and manifestations of gonococcal urethritis in men

Nowadays, major hospitals are overcrowded with people receiving treatment for men's diseases. With the rapid improvement of the quality of social life, people's physical fitness is declining. Male gonococcal urethritis is one of them, which greatly reduces the normal physiological level of our male friends. Maybe everyone does not have a clear understanding of the symptoms and manifestations of male gonococcal urethritis. Let us learn about the symptoms and manifestations of male gonococcal urethritis.

Painful urination is usually a manifestation of urinary tract infection. Painful urination refers to pain in the urethra, bladder and perineum when urinating. The pain can be mild or severe, often burning. In severe cases, it feels like a knife cutting. Painful urination is common in urethritis, prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, seminal vesiculitis, cystitis, urinary tract stones, bladder tuberculosis, pyelonephritis, etc. Urinary tract infection can be divided into upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection. The main common disease of upper urinary tract infection is pyelonephritis; the main diseases of lower urinary tract infection are cystitis, cystitis glandular cystitis and pyelonephritis. People generally believe that as long as there is no pain in the urethra and yellow or white secretions flow out, there is no sexually transmitted disease. In fact, this idea is incorrect. Except for acute gonorrhea and some urethritis caused by chlamydia, the urethra may have the above symptoms. A large number of people infected with sexually transmitted diseases, especially urethritis or vaginitis caused by mycoplasma, may not have any symptoms. Infection with this pathogen does not cause severe local inflammation like gonorrhea. The patient does not feel anything at all. It often causes infection between husband and wife, often the man infects the woman without knowing it. The woman goes to the hospital for a checkup due to gynecological discomfort and is found to have sexually transmitted diseases. She goes home to ask her husband for the reason, which can easily lead to emotional breakdown, family discord, and divorce. The typical symptoms of male urethritis are as follows:

1. If there is obvious pain at the beginning of urination or dysuria, the lesions are mostly in the urethra, which is common in acute urethritis.

2. Sudden interruption of urination accompanied by pain or urinary retention: seen in bladder, urethral stones or urinary tract foreign bodies.

3. Difficult urination accompanied by bloating and pain: This often indicates prostate hyperplasia in elderly men and may also be seen in urethral stones.

4. Stinging or burning pain during urination: This is common in acute inflammatory conditions such as acute urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and pelvic irritation.

5. If the pain is obvious at the end of urination, or if the patient still feels pain after urination, or feels "empty pain", or feels pain even without urination, the disease is mostly in the urethra or adjacent organs, such as bladder trigone inflammation, prostatitis, etc.

6. Pain at the end of urination and urgency are common in patients with acute cystitis.
