Why is my urethra opening sore?

Many people always have some urinary system diseases, among which pain in the urethral opening is a disease that many people have experienced. However, there are many reasons for this disease. But if we want to treat it in time, we must confirm what disease causes it, so that we can better prescribe the right medicine, so that the treatment can be more convenient. Let us understand what is the matter with pain in the urethral opening?

Why is my urethra opening sore?

1. Prostatitis

Prostatitis is one of the common diseases in men, and is closely related to urethral abnormalities. Clinically, prostatitis can be divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis, and chronic prostatitis can be divided into three types: bacterial prostatitis, non-bacterial prostatitis, and prostatitis. Medically, the symptoms of prostatitis are collectively referred to as prostatitis syndrome. The urethral symptoms mainly include itching and pain in the urethral orifice, urinary pain, and incomplete urination.

Patients with chronic prostatitis, especially chronic bacterial prostatitis, are basically troubled by white discharge from the urethra. White discharge from the urethra is actually a common symptom of chronic prostatitis, which is generally caused by local inflammation leading to increased secretions. The phenomenon of white discharge from the urethra indicates that the patient's chronic prostatitis still exists or even worsens. If the white discharge from the urethra is not effectively treated, it may lead to aggravation of prostatitis. Prostatitis is extremely harmful to human health and fertility, and it is necessary to go to a professional hospital for treatment in time. After fully understanding and diagnosing the patient's condition, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the patient.

2. Sexually transmitted diseases such as urethritis

If a man has redness, swelling, itching, discharge, or abscesses at the urethral opening, it means that he is likely in the acute stage of urethritis or may have a sexually transmitted disease such as non-gonococcal urethritis. Urethritis refers to inflammation of the urethral mucosa, usually manifested by redness, swelling, congestion, discharge at the urethral opening, lower abdominal distension and pain, itching, stinging, or burning sensation in the urethra, and may also be accompanied by abnormal urination. If acute urethritis is not thoroughly treated, it will become chronic urethritis. At this time, complications such as prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis will occur. In addition to causing physical discomfort, urethritis can also cause premature ejaculation, impotence, ejaculation disorders, and even infertility.

Many patients mistakenly believe that they can "deal" with urethritis by taking some anti-inflammatory drugs. In fact, urethritis may not have much impact in the early stage of the disease, but it also lays hidden dangers to health for three reasons: First, the patient's symptoms are indeed relieved or even eliminated after taking the medicine, but in fact the pathogenic bacteria have entered a latent state. Once encountering inducements such as fatigue and tension, the inflammation will recur; second, some urethritis pathogens are located in the deep tissues, and some drugs are difficult to reach, leaving behind troubles; third, acute urethritis is usually accompanied by prostatitis. Even if the urethritis is improved by taking medicine, it will still recur due to infection from the prostate. Therefore, patients with urethritis still need to receive systematic and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.

Typical symptoms of non-gonococcal urethritis and other transmitted diseases are sticky secretions from the urethra when getting up, urethral irritation, urinary urgency, urinary pain, etc. This type of disease also needs timely and correct treatment. Some patients take medication on their own due to face, but everyone's condition and immunity are very different, and the prescription and dosage of medication are different, so you should follow the doctor's instructions. After recovery, you should also go to the hospital for regular bacterial culture reexamination to avoid recurrence.

In fact, the symptoms of many diseases are somewhat similar. However, when we feel unwell, we must go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. Do not blindly take some medicine to relieve the symptoms, because sometimes this may lead to serious development of some diseases. The above is an introduction to why the urethra is a little painful. You must go to the hospital for examination and treatment so that the doctor can use scientific and effective methods to relieve the disease.
