Symptoms of urethritis in boys

1. Urethral itching: After the onset of urethritis, there is secretion, which will make the patient feel urethral itching in the long run. In chronic urethritis, urethral secretion decreases, and there is only itching or ant feeling. The urination irritation symptoms will not be as obvious as the acute phase symptoms. Some patients will not experience these symptoms.

2. Abnormal urination: Patients with urethritis will experience symptoms such as urinary pain, urgency, frequent urination, and turbid urine. The frequency of urination will also increase. When urinating, they will feel a burning and pain in the urethra. Sometimes the pain symptoms will radiate to the lower abdomen or perineum. Some patients have turbid urine and sometimes blood in the urine.

3. Urethra secretions: People with urethritis will have urethra secretions. In the early stage of the disease, the secretions are less, thin, and mucous or mucopus. If you do not urinate for a long time, a small amount of thin secretions will overflow from the urethra. Sometimes it only manifests as a scab blocking the urethra or contaminating underwear in the morning.
