Female urethral swelling

The urethra is an important part of the urogenital system, and waste fluids produced by our body are discharged from the body through the urethra. Generally speaking, the urethral opening is not prone to problems, but if a woman's urethral opening becomes enlarged and protruding, it may be due to a disease such as urethral redness and swelling. You need to learn more and compare it with your own situation to draw a final conclusion, which will help to better solve the problem.

Redness and swelling of the urethral opening: refers to a pathological feature in which the urethral opening becomes red and swollen, and sometimes even turns outward, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as itching and pain. The occurrence of this situation generally indicates that the patient is currently in the inflammatory response stage of a certain urogenital infection, which is a critical stage in treatment and requires active and effective medical treatment and treatment.

Redness and swelling of the urethral opening is a manifestation of inflammatory infection of the genitourinary system, and male urethritis is the most common in men. Redness and swelling of the urethral opening is mostly the acute inflammatory stage of urethritis. At the same time, men often experience itching, burning, and stinging in the urethra, and sometimes urgency and difficulty urinating. The urethral opening is congested or red and swollen, with serous, mucous or thin white secretions, or there is a "sticky mouth" phenomenon in the morning.

Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethral mucosa. The causes of the disease are multifaceted, the most fundamental of which is the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms into the urethra. These microorganisms mainly include gonococci, gonococci, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, Candida albicans, Trichomonas and some bacteria resident in the human body. Masturbation habits, excessive methods, smoking, drinking, wearing tight underwear, long-term cycling, horse riding, long-term indwelling catheters, foreign objects in the urethra, etc., put pressure on and damage the urethra, leading to local congestion, ischemia, and hypoxia, which reduces the resistance of the urethral mucosa and makes it easy to get infected.

Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethral mucosa. The causes of the disease are multifaceted, the most fundamental of which is the invasion of the urethra by pathogenic microorganisms (such as gonococci, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, Candida albicans, etc.). In addition, masturbation, smoking, drinking, wearing tight underwear, riding a bicycle for a long time, foreign objects in the urethra, etc. can reduce the resistance of the urethral mucosa and make it easy to get infected.

Purulent secretions appear in the urethra, which are mucous at first and gradually become purulent, accompanied by redness and swelling of the urethral orifice, mucosal eversion, urgency, frequency, pain, urethral stinging, mental depression, and in severe cases, chills, high fever, and difficulty urinating.

Patients with chronic urethritis will have less secretions, and symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and urgency will be alleviated during non-acute attacks, accompanied only by itching or a crawling sensation, and some patients may be asymptomatic. It is often easily overlooked and misdiagnosed.

According to statistics, if urethritis is not cured for a long time or is allowed to develop, 20% of chronic renal failure is caused by urethritis, and nearly 80% of patients with sexual dysfunction and infertility are related to the lesions of urethritis. At the same time, because the bacteria lurking in the urethra enter the urethral crypts, paraurethral glands, bulbar urethra, prostate and seminal vesicle, vas deferens, epididymis and testicles, a series of complications such as cystitis, prostatitis, paraurethral abscess, urethral fistula, etc., are caused, which is very harmful to male reproductive health.
