What causes painful urination in men?

There are often many male friends around us who feel stinging pain when urinating, but they always think it is a minor problem and never pay attention to it. They rarely go to the hospital for examination. In fact, many times major problems are caused by minor diseases. Stinging pain when urinating can also bring a lot of harm to the health of male friends. Currently, there are many diseases that may cause stinging pain when urinating in men. Below, I will introduce some causes of stinging pain when urinating.

Gonorrhea: A sexually transmitted disease with the highest number of clinical cases caused by gonococci. The main symptoms are urethritis, redness and swelling of the urethra, pus, stinging and burning sensation. Difficulty in urination, frequent urination. If not treated in time, it will turn into chronic urethritis. Female gonorrhea patients show symptoms of cervicitis, purulent discharge at the vaginal opening, redness and swelling of the vagina, congestion and stinging sensation, and other symptoms are not obvious.

Non-gonococcal gonorrhea: A sexually transmitted disease mainly caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma, with symptoms similar to gonorrhea. The incubation period is 10-20 days, and the onset of symptoms is mild, including urinary pain, urethral discomfort, urethral itching, burning or stinging, urethral redness and swelling, urethral secretions, thin, "slippery" phenomenon in the morning, etc. Improper handling or treatment in time can cause premature ejaculation, acute epididymitis, prostatitis, male infertility, etc.

Genital herpes: A highly contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2. Symptoms include itching or burning, pain, and swelling of the genitals, thighs, or buttocks. Later, noticeable sores may develop on the genitals, buttocks, anus, or other parts of the body. These sores heal within a few weeks, but for most people, the disease recurs.

Condyloma acuminatum: It is caused by the condyloma acuminatum virus and is the most difficult STD to cure. The condyloma acuminatum virus is the human papillomavirus, which has many subtypes, such as HPV1, 2, 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35. Condyloma acuminatum can occur on the vulva, in the vagina, on the cervix, in the anus, and appear as cauliflower-like growths in the genital area that can break, ooze and become infected, or even appear in the throat.

Syphilis: A sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum, which can attack the heart, eyes, brain, bones and nervous system. The course of the disease is very long and the symptoms appear from time to time. Its natural process is divided into three stages: In the first stage, there is no feeling, and erythema, papules and ruptures appear at the site of virus invasion. These symptoms may disappear after a period of time; in the second stage, the virus multiplies in the blood, and erythema, blood rash, maculopapular rash, etc. similar to pityriasis rosea, psoriasis and acne appear on the skin and mucous membranes. If it is not treated at this time, it will enter the third stage, which will be life-threatening if not treated in time.

Therefore, when male friends feel uncomfortable and painful when urinating, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. It would be best if there is no problem. Once certain diseases are found, they should be treated in time. You can drink more water on weekdays to help urination. At the same time, toxins in the body will also be discharged, helping to recover from the disease.
