What is male urethritis? Male urethritis is a common disease in men. It is often caused by obstruction of the urethral opening or within the urethral opening, or caused by the spread of inflammation in human body organs.

What causes male urethritis?

Male urethritis can be caused by obstruction of the urethral opening, such as urethral stenosis, long foreskin, posterior urethral flap, foreign bodies in the urethral opening, tumors or stones; it can also be caused by inflammation of adjacent human organs flowing to the urethral opening; or it can also be caused by the irritation of some mechanical equipment or chemicals; in addition, some patients are infected through sexual intercourse.

Four major symptoms of male urethritis

1. There are necessary substances in the urethra orifice

Suffering from urethritis, everyone will have secretions in the urethra orifice. In the early stage of the disease, the secretions are less, thin, mucus-like or mucous-purulent. If you don't urinate for a long time, a small amount of dilute substances will leak out from the external orifice of the urethra. Sometimes the only symptom is that the scab seals the urethral opening in the morning or the underwear is polluted.

2. Urethral itching

Because urethritis will produce some secretions, in the long term, patients will experience urethral itching. Although acute urethritis has few secretions, itching or ants may also occur, and some patients have no obvious symptoms.

3. Abnormal urination

Patients with urethritis will experience symptoms such as painful urination, inability to hold urine, frequent urination, urgent urination, and turbid urine. Generally, the frequency of urination will increase, and they may feel burning and pain during urination. Sometimes the pain symptoms will radiate to the lower abdomen or vulva. Some patients may have turbid urine, and sometimes hematuria.

If urethritis is left untreated for a long time, patients may also develop orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymal nodules, bilateral fallopian tube obstruction, reduced sperm density and quality, impotence, premature ejaculation, male infertility and other symptoms.
