1. Urethral injury: Urethral mucosal abrasions caused by urethral instrument examination can destroy the defensive function of the urethral mucosa and lead to bacterial infection.

2. Urethral obstruction: If the female hymen umbrella or the fusion of the hymen at the urethral orifice is blocked, urine may accumulate in the urethra due to poor urination, which may lead to urethral infection.

3. Foreign objects in the urethra: Foreign objects placed from the outside or stones in the urethra, etc., can cause urinary tract infection if left there for a long time.

4. Inflammation of adjacent organs, such as vaginitis or cervicitis, can spread to the urethra, which is often a stubborn lesion of chronic posterior urethritis.

5. Other external factors: Under high temperatures, the human body sweats a lot, and the female vulva has particularly abundant sweat glands. If not properly cared for, the vulva can easily become moist for a long time. At this time, bacteria will multiply very quickly and take advantage of the opportunity to enter the urethra, causing urethritis.

What are the dangers of female urethritis?

As a result, scarring will cause the urethra to be narrowed, and the patient will experience difficulty in urination and a thin urine flow. In addition, symptoms such as increased secretions and vulvar itching make many women embarrassed.

2. Cause infertility. The prostate may be invaded and cause prostatitis. The patient will have symptoms of perineum pain and lower back pain, and in severe cases it may lead to infertility.

After suffering from vaginitis, women must seek timely treatment, pay attention to personal hygiene habits, and insist on using warm water to wash the vulva every day to reduce the incidence of the disease.
