Itchy urethra with white discharge

What is the reason for white discharge from the urethra? If a man has white discharge from the urethra, or a woman has an abnormal increase in leucorrhea, it means that the urinary system is diseased. The editor has sorted out the possible symptoms of white discharge from the urethra. I hope everyone will pay attention to it and go to a regular hospital for treatment immediately. Don't underestimate it to avoid delaying the condition.

Urethritis

Men should undergo examination if they have a small amount of white discharge from the urethra or dirty underwear 1-3 weeks after unclean sexual life, and the urethra is sealed with a crust caused by dried discharge when they wake up in the morning, or have a mild burning or itching sensation when urinating.

Symptoms of female patients are more atypical. Many women mistakenly think that they are gynecological diseases and do not pay much attention to them. Common symptoms include: excessive vaginal discharge, slight itching in the private parts, mild burning sensation in urine, mild discomfort in the urethra, dull pain in the lower abdomen (not related to the menstrual cycle) and menstrual disorders if the symptoms are not discovered for a long time. If there is an uncurable gynecological disease, it is recommended to have related non-gonococcal urethritis, urethritis, and vaginitis tests to find out the cause of the disease and eliminate the root cause.

The common causes of urethritis are as follows :

Hemostatic urethral injury: The abrasion of the urethral mucosa caused by urethral instrument inspection can destroy the defensive function of the urethral mucosa and cause bacterial infection.

Blood and foreign bodies in the urethral opening: Foreign bodies placed from outside or stones in the urethral opening can cause urethral infection if left untreated for a long time.

Supplementary urethral obstruction: such as stenosis of the foreskin, narrow external urethral opening, urethral stenosis, posterior urethral heart valve, urethral opening tumor, female hymen umbrella, rupture of hymen at the urethral opening, etc., due to the difficulty in urination, urine accumulates in the urethral opening and may cause secondary urethral opening infection.

Inflammation of adjacent organs, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, vaginitis or cervicitis, can flow to the urethral opening, which is often a difficult-to-eliminate disease of chronic posterior urethritis.

Full-term pregnancy is often associated with sexual intercourse, and unclean sexual intercourse can easily lead to urethral infection.

Mycoplasma urinary tract infection

The general critical period of this disease is 1 to 3 weeks. Men often feel itching at the urethral opening and varying degrees of pain and burning when urinating. The pain is milder than that of gonorrhea. The urethral opening is slightly swollen. There is often a serous or serous purulent urethral discharge, which is thinner and less than that of gonorrheal urethritis. Or white film is only found at the urethral opening when getting up in the morning. Some patients have no obvious symptoms or no symptoms at all, and are often misdiagnosed.

The key infection site for female patients is the cervix. The symptoms of urethritis are not obvious. They are often mainly manifested as acute or chronic cervicitis, cervical erosion, excessive leucorrhea, or slight urinary difficulty and frequent and urgent urination. There may also be no symptoms at all.

The disease is caused by mycoplasma infection in susceptible people. The main route of transmission is through sexual intercourse. Inappropriate sexual behavior, early sexual intercourse, and unclean sex without condoms are particularly susceptible to infection. In rare cases, newborns can become infected through vaginal infection during delivery from infected mothers and pregnant women.
