Urethra swelling

Many men have urethral problems all the time, and many people do not know how urethritis occurs. When they feel soreness and swelling at the urethral opening, they go to the hospital for a check-up and are diagnosed with urethritis. Urethritis can cause sperm quality damage, urethral stenosis, cystitis or prostate infection. It is necessary to find a suitable method for treatment, but the first task is to understand the cause.

How is urethritis caused?

1. Masturbation habits, excessive sexual intercourse, smoking, drinking, wearing tight underwear, long-term bicycle riding, horse riding, long-term indwelling catheter, urethral foreign bodies, etc., put pressure on and damage the urethra, leading to local congestion, ischemia, and hypoxia, which reduces the resistance of the urethral mucosa and is also the cause of urethritis. The above conditions are prone to infection and disease.

2. The urethra is the sewer of the human body. Urine is very irritating and corrosive. Urine irritation is often one of the causes of urethritis.

3. In addition, the cause of urethritis often includes pathogenic microorganisms invading the urethra and causing urethritis. These microorganisms are mainly gonococci, gonococci, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, Candida albicans, Trichomonas and some bacteria that are resident in the human body.

A large number of facts show that most acute urethritis is caused by the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms into the urethra. Due to the different pathogenic microorganisms, urethritis can be divided into three types: general bacterial urethritis, gonococcal urethritis, and non-gonococcal urethritis. At present, the incidence of non-gonococcal urethritis is higher than that of gonococcal urethritis. The cause of non-gonococcal urethritis is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum infection through unhygienic sexual intercourse.

When chlamydia or mycoplasma invade the human body, there will be an avoidance period, followed by inflammation of the urethral opening, a small amount of thin urethral secretions, or urethral itching, and sometimes symptoms such as urgency and frequent urination.

People who are susceptible to urethritis

1. Improper selection of treatment drugs causes gonococci to become resistant to them.

2. Urethritis caused by Trichomonas.

3. If the patient fails to take the medication as prescribed by the doctor and drinks alcohol or eats spicy food, the treatment effect may be affected.

4. Giving drugs only to fight one pathogen ignores mixed infections such as Chlamydia trachomatis or Mycoplasma infections and leaves them untreated.

5. Reinfection of sexual partners without treatment.

6. Prostatitis may occur due to decreased local resistance.

7. Certain bacterial infections cause nonspecific urethritis.
