What are the causes of white particles in the male urethra?

The male urethra plays a very important role in life. Men all know that if it is a normal urethra, the color is red, and the urine is transparent. There will be no unknown objects left in the urethra. But if one day, a man suddenly finds a kind of white granular thing in the urethra after urinating, what is this thing? Many men are not clear, let's take a look below:

1. Small particles in the urethral opening may be caused by condyloma acuminata: If there is a history of unclean sex, it is very likely that you have condyloma acuminata. Condyloma acuminata patients initially have small light red papules, which gradually grow larger and have uneven, soft, nipple-like lesions on the surface. Some are cauliflower-shaped, with pedicles at the root, and the surface is moist and dirty gray. For a long time, there may be erosive exudate on the surface, and itching and scratching may occur. Bacterial infection may occur, and purulent secretions may appear on the surface, with a foul odor and pain. Small particles in the urethral opening should be prohibited from sexual intercourse during treatment. Condyloma acuminata patients, especially when the warts have not completely subsided, should refrain from sexual intercourse to prevent the condition from worsening, and condyloma acuminata spread or infect others. If the lesions of genital warts disappear after treatment for more than a month, and there is no recurrence of genital warts and no new lesions, condoms should be used during sexual intercourse to prevent infection, and the frequency of sexual intercourse should be controlled.

2. Small particles on the urethral opening may be caused by balanitis: Small particles on the foreskin are diffuse inflammation of the glans and foreskin. It may be because the male patient has a long foreskin, and the unclean things between the foreskin and the glans, that is, the smegma, accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane and causing inflammation, that is, balanitis. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by sexual life. This situation is common in women with vaginitis, and cross-infection through sexual life leads to balanitis in male patients. If there is a male with a long foreskin, he should undergo a circumcision surgery in time to remove this major source of reproductive infection.

3. Small particles in the urethral opening may be caused by genital herpes: The pimples caused by genital herpes are often found on the foreskin, glans penis, coronal sulcus and penis of men, and occasionally on the urethral opening. Primary genital herpes is often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as general discomfort, low fever, headache, and local lymph node swelling. In addition to the growth of small particles in the glans glans coronal sulcus, urethral opening, etc., primary or recurrent genital herpes may be accompanied by dysuria, acute urinary retention, herpetic whitlow, and encephalitis.

4. Small particles growing at the urethral opening are caused by scrotal eczema: Scrotal eczema is the most common skin disease of the scrotum. It is an allergic reaction and a common skin disease of the genitals in men. Scrotal eczema is commonly known as "scrotal wind" and "scrotal fistula". Scrotal eczema is the most common type of eczema. After infection, the disease causes severe itching and is very stubborn. Patients often suffer from pain or secondary infection due to scratching and inappropriate stimulation.

5. Pearly penile papules: They usually grow on the glans and coronal sulcus, and appear as needle-sized to millet-sized pearly white or red translucent papules, or they can be light red papules consistent with the mucosa. The papules do not fuse with each other, do not break, and do not cause discomfort such as itching. The cause of pearly penile papules is often seen in male friends with excessive foreskin or phimosis. Excessive foreskin or phimosis prevents the glans from being exposed frequently, and the coronal sulcus is often moist, which is conducive to the survival of things the size of millet grains. This is the pearly papule of the glans, which is very similar to condyloma acuminatum. It is recommended that patients wash the penis and coronal sulcus frequently and pay attention to personal hygiene; but to achieve satisfactory results, the permanent method is to perform "minimally invasive circumcision".

The above is the introduction about the reasons why white particles appear in the male urethral opening. According to these introductions, everyone should understand them in time and observe whether they will have similar symptoms in their lives. If so, then they should do corresponding examinations according to the above reasons. After the examination, they should treat the symptoms. When improving their symptoms, they should also pay attention to maintaining their local cleanliness and hygiene to avoid infection.
