I believe many friends have this symptom. Every time they urinate, they feel a little itchy in their urethra, and the itchy and prickly sensation always makes them feel very uncomfortable. In fact, this may be caused by some diseases. To alleviate this symptom, one must first cure the disease. Next, let's take a look at what causes a slight itching in the urethra?
1. Prostatitis
Systemic infection or sepsis, burning at the urethral orifice, frequency of urination, urgency of urination, pain in the urethra, pain in the perineum and suprapubic bone, rectal distention, difficulty in defecation, and occasionally dysuria or even retention of urine can be caused by edema and spasm of the bladder neck.
2. Urethritis
When patients are infected with urethritis, common symptoms of urethritis include itching at the urethral opening, a feeling like ants crawling, intermittent, mild, and severe, accompanied by redness and swelling of the urethral opening, mucosal eversion, frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, urethral pain, mental depression, and in severe cases, chills, high fever, and difficulty urinating.
3. Non gonococcal urethritis
Once infected with non gonococcal urethritis, in addition to symptoms such as itching at the urethral opening and discomfort inside the urethra, there may also be pain, redness, swelling, and congestion at the urethral opening, urgency to urinate, and sometimes mild difficulty urinating. There is secretion at the urethral opening, which changes from thin to dark yellow, with a small amount, and is serous and purulent. There is also a "life support" phenomenon in the morning.
4. Balanitis
When men suffer from balanitis, the glans will initially appear red and swollen, accompanied by symptoms such as itching at the urethral opening, itching and burning of the glans. In severe cases, the glans may be congested and ulcerated, with exudation. Friction with underwear can cause pain.
The above is the encyclopedia introduction about what causes slight itching in the urethra. In short, urethral itching may still be caused by inflammation, but since we are not doctors, we cannot draw our own conclusions. The best way is to go to the hospital and follow the doctor's advice to choose the most suitable treatment method. I hope this article can be helpful to everyone.
