Pain syndrome of the urethra in men

Semen is also excreted through the urethra when the seminal ducts open. Male sex is more susceptible to inflammation of the urethra.

Pathologies of the urinary tract are of a different nature and cause discomfort in the urethra. Sometimes inflammation causes a narrowing of the urinary tract. Discomfort intensifies, strong painful sensations appear.

What provokes the inflammatory process of the urinary canal

Unpleasant sensations in the urethral urethra in men may occur for some reason.

The most common factor in the occurrence of unpleasant sensations is the penetration of infection, bacteria, viruses into the genitourinary tract:

• Trichomonas;
• ureoplasmosis;
• chlamydia;
• gonococci;
• mycoplasmosis;
• fungal microorganisms;
• staphylococcus;
• streptococcus;
• Escherichia coli.

Since the urethra constantly comes into contact with bacilli: during the excretion of urine, during sexual intercourse, during the weakening of the immune system, the body's protection is reduced.

Not only an infection with bacteria causes discomfort in the urethra, unpleasant symptoms can occur due to injury to the groin, genitals, hypothermia, unhealthy diet, alcohol addiction, physical fatigue. In some cases, urethritis occurs due to urolithiasis. Elements released with urine can injure or scratch the urinary canal, which provokes an inflammatory process.

How inflammation is classified

The specificity and causes of outbreaks during inflammation in the urethral canal are due to the following types of diseases:

• Acute urethritis. Most often it manifests itself as a signal for a bacterium that has penetrated the urinary or genital area.
• Chronic urethritis. It flares up in the presence of an infection in the urinary system, accompanied by an increased urge to go to the toilet, pain in the lower back, groin, periodically aggravates and subsides (not a constant symptomatology).
• Granular urethritis. The onset of the disease occurs due to an additional inflammatory process in the genital organs.
• Allergic urethritis. It can happen through contact with allergens (food, drugs, chemical elements).

Urethritis of an infectious nature is divided into two types: non-specific and specific.

Specific urethritis is caused by inflammatory processes caused by an infection that is transmitted after sexual intercourse. The inflammatory process due to the presence of other bacteria that are present in the body is referred to as a nonspecific pathology.

There is a primary course of the disease and a secondary one. The primary form is due to diseases of pathogens that penetrate into the urethral canal.

The secondary form is due to the penetration of harmful organisms from neighboring organs into the small pelvis.

Description of the pathological process

Unpleasant sensations in the urethra indicate that there is an inflammation of the prostate. This is the most common pathology that plagues middle and older males. This is due to too active sexual intercourse.

The development of prostatitis is due to:

• hypothermia;
• chronic cholecystitis;
• tonsillitis, bronchitis;
• hypodynamia;
• a sedentary lifestyle;
• addiction to drugs, alcohol, nicotine.

Prostatitis is complicated by urethritis or cystitis. In acute prostatitis, certain symptoms are noted:

• perineal pain;
• fever;
• pollakiuria;
• pain during urination.

Acute parenchymal and follicular inflammation of the prostate gland is marked by urinary retention. Additional symptoms of chronic pathology include discomfort in the perineal area, urethra. Painful bowel movements, chills, an acute course of pathology is noted.

In chronic pathology, fibrosis may occur with impaired functioning of the prostate, which causes infertility. Congestive chronic disease is caused by stagnation of secretory fluid due to irregular sex and a sedentary lifestyle.

How does urethral inflammation manifest?

The urethral tubule is exposed to destructive influences from bacteria, viruses, harmful microorganisms.

Urethritis is characterized by the main symptoms:

• Unpleasant urethral discomfort. Usually this is a burning sensation with itching during the outflow of urine. Soreness extends to the groin area.An unpleasant feeling is accompanied by external signs;
• puffiness;
• redness;
• itching in the middle of the canal;
• discomfort of the glans penis;
• increased visits to the toilet room associated with obstructed drainage, narrowing of the urine channel and clumping of the upper edges of the flesh;
• specific discharge is noted, however, the presence of discharge does not always indicate urethritis (especially when plasma is released in semen or urine);
• unpleasant odor from the urethral canal when urinating.

If there is no therapeutic therapy, then the pathology can go to other organs in the small pelvis. For example, prostate, urinary tract, scrotum.

Therapeutic manipulations of the inflammatory process of the urethra in men

Treatment of urethritis occurs according to a certain scheme. Initially, the causative agent of the inflammatory process is detected. This is done by taking a swab from the urethral canal. Based on the results of the analysis, the components of the microflora of the reproductive system are determined.

Infectious urethritis is treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin, Amoxiclav, Azithromycin, Nolitsin, Norfloxacin. According to the analyzes, an antibiotic is selected that is suitable for the destruction of the identified pathogenic microflora. In addition to antibiotic therapy, it is recommended to use trays of medicinal plants, antiseptics, physiotherapeutic manipulations, means to enhance the body's protective functions, a mineral and vitamin complex.

A specialized specialist can additionally prescribe a micro enema into the urethral canal using a uroseptic. Such a drug is Miramistin, Chlorhexidine, Protargol and others.

When the inflammatory process is caused by pathologies of other organs, then therapeutic therapy is directed to eliminate the pathology that caused unpleasant symptoms. The diseased organ itself is treated. Allergic-type prostatitis should be treated by eliminating the allergen with daily contact.

Lack of timely treatment threatens the transition of pathology into a chronic course of the disease. As noted earlier, chronic prostatitis does not heal as quickly. Sometimes the therapy lasts for several years.

Nutritional care

Nutritional therapy is an important component in prostatitis elimination therapy. Patients are advised not to consume spicy foods, salt, pepper, marinade, smoked and canned foods.

It is useful to consume fermented milk products, plenty of water. Men should not abuse alcohol, smoking. The elimination of negative factors increases the effectiveness of therapy with a decrease in the duration of treatment.

During medical procedures, sexual intercourse is excluded. If the cause of the pathology is a sexually transmitted disease, then therapy is carried out together with a partner.

With advanced urethritis, serious complications may occur. The most undesirable complication for men of childbearing age is infertility. Therefore, it is very important to be examined by a specialized specialist when the first undesirable symptomatology occurs.

You cannot fight pathological manifestations on your own; for the treatment to be effective, it is necessary to identify the cause of the inflammatory process, and this can only be done by a doctor. The specialist conducts a thorough examination and, according to the collected anamnesis, selects an adequate therapy. Each case is treated individually. There is no single treatment regimen, as there are no identical organisms and perceptions of medicines. All people are different and have their own characteristics.
