What medicine is used for male urethral swelling

If a male patient has symptoms of redness and swelling of the urethral opening, it is necessary to consider the possibility of urethral infection. The patient often also has symptoms such as itching and pain at the urethral opening. In severe cases, there is also urethral discharge. In this case, it is necessary to go to the urology department of the hospital in time to check the urethral secretions to identify the pathogens that cause urethral opening inflammation, and then carry out targeted treatment.

If it is caused by bacterial infection, you can take oral antibiotics such as cefixime dispersible tablets for treatment, and apply erythromycin ointment topically.

If it is caused by mycoplasma or chlamydia infection, it is recommended to use azithromycin, meclocycline, etc. for treatment.

During the treatment period, pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid spicy foods. Remember to change underwear frequently, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently.

The dangers of male urethritis

1Causes male infertility:

The main reason is that inflammation can cause urethral stenosis and urethral obstruction. If it affects the vas deferens and epididymis, it can cause proliferation and deformation of fibrous tissue, leading to obstruction of the vas deferens. Concurrent inflammation of the epididymis, seminal vesicles, prostate, etc. can affect the quality of semen and make the sperm survival rate very low.

2Urinary system problems:

When a patient is ill, bacteria will hide in the urethra, especially in the posterior urethra, and enter the urethral crypts, paraurethral glands and other parts, causing a series of complications, such as cystitis and prostatitis. If acute urethritis is not properly treated, it may even cause complications such as paraurethral abscesses.

3 Causes complications:

Bacteria lurking in the urethra will enter the urethral crypts, paraurethral glands, prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, epididymis and testicles, causing a series of complications such as cystitis and prostatitis, which is very harmful to male reproductive health.

4Chronic renal failure:

The characteristic of urethritis is that it can easily turn into a chronic disease, and in severe cases it can also cause chronic renal failure. According to new statistics, 25% of chronic renal failure is caused by urethritis.

5 Sexual dysfunction:

It can cause urethral stenosis and ejaculation dysfunction, and will also affect the urethral epithelium. There will be scars at the infected site. Severe cases can cause difficulty in urination, and can also cause ejaculation dysfunction and lead to infertility.
