A man has urethritis

Men are more likely to develop urethritis. There are many reasons for this disease, such as urethral damage, foreign objects in the urethra, long-term urine retention, excessive fatigue, excessive drinking, or tight underwear, etc. When men face urethritis, they need to understand the cause in time and then treat it. The following is a detailed introduction to the reasons why men get urethritis.

1. Urine has a great irritating and corrosive effect on the urethra. Once the urge to urinate is generated, it should be discharged in time to avoid the occurrence of urethritis. Holding urine for a long time will cause urethritis.

2. If men over-exert themselves, have sex too frequently, smoke and drink, wear tight underwear, ride bicycles or horses for a long time, have a catheter or foreign objects in the urethra for a long time, etc., the urethra will be compressed and damaged, causing local congestion, hypoxia, and ischemia, which will reduce the ability of the urethral mucosa to resist infection and make the urethra easily contaminated.

3. Lack of hygiene may cause pathogenic microorganisms to invade the urethra. These microorganisms mainly include mycoplasma, gonococci, Candida albicans, gonococci, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, and some other bacteria in the male body.

Urethritis is a common disease, which refers to inflammation of the urethral mucosa. It is more common in women. Clinically, it can be divided into acute and chronic, non-specific urethritis and gonococcal urethritis. The latter two have similar clinical manifestations and must be distinguished based on medical history and bacteriological examination. It is mostly caused by pathogenic bacteria retrogradely invading the urethra.

Causes

Common causes of urethritis are as follows: ①Urethra injury: abrasion of the urethral mucosa caused by urethral instrument examination can damage the defense function of the urethral mucosa and lead to bacterial infection; ②Urethra foreign body: foreign body inserted from the outside or urethra stones, etc., can cause urethral infection if left there for a long time; ③Urethra obstruction: such as narrow foreskin opening, narrow urethral opening, narrow urethra, posterior urethra ④ Valves, urethral tumors, female hymen umbrellas, fusion of the hymen at the urethral orifice, etc., due to poor urination, urine accumulates in the urethra and can cause urethral infection; ④ Inflammation of adjacent organs, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, vaginitis or cervicitis, can spread to the urethra, which is often a stubborn lesion of chronic posterior urethritis; ⑤ Often related to sexual life, unclean sexual life can easily cause urethral infection.
