Male urethra examination

There are many methods for male urethra examination. First, men need to undergo a urine test, including the three-cup urine test, and they also need to undergo a cystourethroscopy and urethral flushing test. These examination methods can be used to determine whether the urethra is infected. They are the main methods for examining urethritis and cystitis. When men experience urethral pain, they need to go to the hospital for a urethral examination and treatment in time.

Three-cup urine test

After cleaning the vulva and urethra, leave the first 10 to 20 ml of urine in the first cup, the middle 30 to 40 ml of urine in the second cup, and the last 5 to 10 ml in the third cup.

The examination of three cups of urine can clearly diagnose urethritis. If the first cup of urine is abnormal and the most severe, the lesion may be in the anterior urethra; if the third cup is abnormal and the most severe, the lesion is in the bladder neck or posterior urethra; if all three cups are abnormal, the lesion is above the bladder neck.

Urethral irrigation test

When the patient's bladder is full, use 3% warm boric acid saline to flush the urethra. At the same time, apply pressure to the patient's urethra to prevent the flushing solution from entering the posterior urethra. Flush until the solution is clear and then observe the patient's urination.

The urethral flushing test can determine whether the diseased part is the anterior urethra or the posterior urethra. After flushing until the urine is clear, urinate. If the urine is turbid, it is posterior urethritis.

Cystourethroscopy

Cystourethroscopy is not a routine examination method for urethritis. The operation should be performed gently and a cystoscope with a smaller diameter should be selected to avoid severe hematuria caused by damage.

Many patients will not be cured for a long time and will have persistent relapses. Cystoscopy can help trace the root cause of the problem for patients who repeatedly fail to recover and understand whether there is urethral stenosis, foreign bodies in the urethra, etc.

The examination and treatment of urethritis are equally important. Only with accurate examination can the site of disease be found accurately and physical therapy can be used to treat the diseased area symptomatically, which is rapid, quick and effective.

Be careful when taking care of urethritis

Some people only seek treatment after suffering from urethritis, but neglect daily care. As a result, the patient's condition fluctuates. Urethritis is a common disease in women, but it can also occur in men. The diagnosis of urethritis should be early, adequate and standardized. Sensitive drugs should be used for diagnosis, and overdiagnosis should be prevented. Insufficient drug dosage, random use of drugs or insensitive drugs can promote drug resistance in pathogens. If you suffer from urethritis, it is important to learn some urethritis care.
