When many male compatriots go to the urology department for treatment because of
urethritis, the doctor often asks, "do you have an unprotected sexual life history recently..."
When you were asked this, did you wonder? I'm sorry to have to say that male urethritis is indeed associated with sexually transmitted diseases!
Male urethritis is mostly caused by gonococcus, chlamydia, and mycoplasma. The symptoms caused by different bacteria will also be various. If the test results are positive for gonococcal DNA, it is gonococcal urethritis. If Chlamydia trachomatis or mycoplasma is positive, it is nongonococcal urethritis.
Next, we focus on nongonococcal urethritis. What kind of sexually transmitted disease is it?
The incidence rate of nongonococcal urethritis is increasing year by year. In European and American countries, the incidence of nongonococcal urethritis has reached 4-5 times that of gonorrhea in recent 10-20 years.
A disguised devil
1. The average incubation period of nongonococcal urethritis was 1-3 weeks.
2. The symptoms of nongonococcal urethritis are more similar to those of gonorrhea. But they appear later than those of gonorrhea. About 50% of patients have urethral tingling, burning sensation, increased urethral secretion, local urethral itching, and discomfort, etc. Note: some patients may be asymptomatic or atypical, which is easy to be missed.
3. Urethral secretion is few, thin, mucinous, or mucous membrane purulent: a small amount of thin secretion can overflow from the external orifice of the urethra without micturition for a long time (such as starting in the morning). Sometimes there are symptoms but no secretions or asymptomatic and secretions.
4. Often infected with gonorrhea at the same time: the former has gonorrhea symptoms first. After anti gonorrhea treatment, gonococcus is killed by penicillin, while chlamydia and mycoplasma still exist. Onset 1-3 weeks after infection. Clinically, it is easy to be mistaken for gonorrhea not cured or relapsed.
5. Improper treatment or untimely treatment can cause complications. Such as acute epididymitis, prostatitis, colitis, and pharyngitis. Female cervicitis, cervical erosion, vestibular adenitis, vaginitis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammation, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, etc.
6. Very few patients can be accompanied by urethritis, arthritis, keratitis, conjunctivitis, and rash.
Which kinds of people are most likely to catch nongonococcal urethritis?
Disharmony of sexual life: marital status is also related to the onset and recurrence of the disease. Male divorce, separation of husband and wife, widowed and unmarried, and discordant husband and wife life increase the risk of recurrence due to increased high-risk sexual behavior. Improper condom selection in sexual life will also lead to the incidence and repetition of the disease.
Improper condom measures: improper condom measures during sexual life will also lead to the incidence and recurrence of the disease. If men don't wear condoms during sex, they will increase the onset and recurrence of nongonococcal urethritis.
Immune deficiency: people with low immune function, such as malignant tumors, lupus erythematosus, kidney transplantation, and glucocorticoids, have doubled the incidence and recurrence of nongonococcal urethritis, and the wart body is also large.
Several sexual partners: they are essential factors for the onset and recurrence of nongonococcal urethritis. The more sexual partners are, the higher the probability of recurrence. The incidence rate and recurrence rate of nongonococcal urethritis in male sex workers are higher than homosexuals.
Few people may know about nongonococcal urethritis, but its harm coefficient is quite significant. Therefore, once diagnosed, treat it in time. The first choice is to use drugs in time, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics, which have a unique therapeutic effect on this disease. Specific antibiotic drugs include azithromycin and doxycycline.
In addition to antibiotics, patients can also choose natural medicine
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill for treatment. It has bactericidal and inhibitory effects on this nongonococcal virus. It can help patients control and eliminate the virus in the body as soon as possible to achieve the curative effect.
In addition, patients must take treatment according to the course because the disease has a certain incubation period. The general treatment time is at least about four weeks. During the treatment, the patient's condition should be improved in time, and the patient should not be taken lightly. Only when the reexamination results are negative can people decide to end the treatment.
Once patients confirm their condition, they should pay special attention to what they usually eat. They can't eat spicy food and stimulating food, such as peppers and ginger. These foods will stimulate the urethral tissue, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.
People should know that daily care in life plays a significant role in adjuvant treatment. People should wash their underwear separately. It is recommended that patients wash and scald with boiling water, which can well kill these viruses. Then through the sun exposure, ensure that the underwear is clean to restore the condition better.
