Urethritis in men, symptoms, treatment

Urethritis is an inflammatory process that occurs on the walls of the urethra (called urethra in medicine). To date, such a disease is very common among women and men. In this article, we will talk about male urethritis.

There are two of its forms: infectious and non-infectious urethritis in men whose sigmtomas are somewhat different. The causes of the different forms are also different. Infectious manifests itself due to the defeat of viruses, microplasms, bacteria, gonococci, chlamydia and other microorganisms that cause inflammation. A non-infectious disease occurs as a result of narrowing of the urinary tract, their trauma, as well as stagnant processes in the pelvic region. This form of urethritis may eventually become infectious.

It can not immediately eradicate urethritis in men, its symptoms can be protracted. It should be noted that a common method of contracting this disease is unprotected intercourse.

Urethritis in men, symptoms

The first signs can be determined about a week after infection. But quite often the disease manifests itself in a few weeks. Symptoms:

If you notice the first signs of this disease, you need to contact the urologist as soon as possible. Only with the help of a doctor can you reliably determine the severity of urethritis and prescribe treatment depending on its degree. In addition, with the help of certain tests, the urologist will determine the type of the activator. Thus, it will be possible to select the most effective preparations. After all, urethritis in men, the symptoms of which can be seen not immediately, may eventually progress. This entails severe forms of the disease that require immediate treatment.
