What is the reason for the burning sensation in the urethra?

Considering that it is urethritis, it is recommended that you go to the local hospital for a urinalysis, B-ultrasound, secretions, and colposcopy to diagnose the actual situation.

What causes urethritis?

1. Obstruction at or within the urethral orifice: such as urethral stenosis, stones, tumors, prepuce redundancy and posterior urethral valve, which make urine drainage difficult, weaken the urine cleaning effect and easily cause infection.

2. Infection of the urethral opening and surrounding glandular ducts: such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, etc.

3. Urethral injury: Urethral injury caused by equipment inspection, sexual life or trauma can cause inflammation.

4. Invasion of microorganisms: Unhygienic sexual life and cross-infection of urinary system diseases between couples may cause urethritis.

5. External causes: Habitual masturbation, excessive sexual intercourse, smoking and drinking, wearing too tight underwear, long-term cycling, etc., all of which can damage the urethral opening, causing partial congestion, ischemia, and lack of oxygen, which will reduce the immunity of the urethral mucosa and make it very easy to get inflammation.

6. Reduced local resistance: In normal women, there are intestinal bacteria near the front of the urethral opening and vestibule of women, but no infection occurs; once the local resistance is reduced, such as during menstruation, pregnancy, local trauma, etc., bacteria will multiply and easily cause infection.

7. The external urethral opening moves inward during sexual intercourse: This will make it easy for bacteria to enter the urethral opening. In addition, there is a lot of local secretions during sexual intercourse, and blood is swollen on the anterior wall of the vagina, bladder neck, and urethral opening, which also makes it easier for inflammation to occur.
