What is the cause of pus in the male urethra?

1. Urethritis: It is a relatively active manifestation of urinary diseases and is also highly suspected. It is often manifested by a small amount of white secretions in the urethra or dirty underwear, congestion or redness of the urethral opening, serous, mucous or thin white secretions, or "mouthfullness" in the morning, and in addition to the first time, there will also be symptoms of frequent urination and painful urination.

2. Gonorrhea: Everyone knows how this disease is contracted. Its common symptoms are itching, redness, swelling and eversion of the urethral opening, as well as a large amount of purulent secretions. It is painful to urinate, and there is blood in the urethra. In the morning, scabs will form on the urethral opening, causing a "stuck mouth" phenomenon.

Gonorrhea is a disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which is mainly transmitted through sexual contact. Its main clinical manifestations are urethral stinging and urethral discharge. Acute onset patients often have a clear history of unclean contact, and the incubation period is 2-7 days. At the beginning, there may be burning, redness, swelling and eversion of the urethral opening, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency and pain, and a small amount of mucous secretion may be retained in the urethral opening. After 3-4 days, a large amount of purulent secretions may flow out of the urethral opening, with obvious stinging during urination, and significant redness and swelling of the glans penis and foreskin. Severe cases may be accompanied by systemic symptoms, such as fever, back pain, fatigue, etc. The condition of patients with chronic gonorrhea often recurs and is difficult to cure. The symptoms during an attack are milder than those of acute gonorrhea, and there are basically no systemic symptoms. Local manifestations are the main symptoms: the urethral opening is often covered with pus membrane, which is the "survival" phenomenon, which is more common in the morning.

Treatment methods include urethral dilation, which has drainage and massage effects, and can prevent inflammatory urethral stenosis; when there are ulcers and granulation tissue in the urethra, transurethral endoscope electrocautery; antibiotic treatment and other methods. Different causes require different treatment methods, so if you have symptoms of urethral discharge, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, find out the cause, and treat it accordingly.
