Causes of male urethral injury

There are many common diseases in men. When it comes to the treatment of male diseases, we cannot choose the treatment method at will, especially for the treatment of some complex diseases in men. We must first understand the disease so that we can know what method to choose when treating it. Male urethral injury is very common. For men with such a situation, timely treatment is required. What are the causes of male urethral injury? Let's introduce it in detail below.

Causes of male urethral injury:

Posterior urethra injury (10%):

It is the most serious type of trauma to the lower urinary tract. It is mostly caused by car accidents and pelvic compression injuries. More than 90% of patients have pelvic fractures. Pelvic muscle fractures and posterior urethral injuries account for 4% to 25%. After a pelvic fracture, the stability of the pelvis is destroyed, the displacement of the pubic branch fracture causes posterior urethral tearing, or the displacement of the pubic branch and sciatic branch fracture directly injures the urethra and causes urethral injury.

Perineum straddle injury (15%):

Falling from a height, the perineum straddling a hard object, or direct violence to the perineum can cause injury to the bulbar urethra. The bulbar urethra is located below the pubic symphysis and is fixed. When subjected to external force, the urethra is squeezed between the pubic symphysis and the hard object, causing urethral contusion, partial or complete rupture.

Open urethra injury (15%):

Animal bites, cuts, gunshot wounds, shrapnel wounds and explosion injuries. Often accompanied by soft tissue damage to the perineum, scrotum and its contents.

Iatrogenic injuries (10%):

It is caused by improper or rough operation of cystoscope, urethroscope, metal urethral probe, electrosurgical incision and cold knife incision. It can occur in any part of the urethra, and patients with urethral stricture are more likely to suffer damage.

After understanding the causes of male urethral injury, the treatment of male urethral injury should be based on the male causes. During the treatment, men should also pay attention to their own hygiene. Poor hygiene will also affect the treatment of the disease. Men should understand this.
