Introduction: Male genital infection is a common disease in daily life, but most people do not have a deep understanding of this disease. So what are the common symptoms of this disease?
Male and female reproductive organs are also more susceptible to infection, and once infected, it can easily lead to male genital diseases. So what are the symptoms of male genital infections?
Non bacterial prostatitis
There are symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and sexual dysfunction, but laboratory tests cannot detect bacteria. Mainly caused by factors such as excessive sexual activity, prolonged sexual excitement, or pelvic congestion caused by cycling or horseback riding.
Urethritis
Multiple retrograde infections, which are caused by the direct invasion of bacteria into the urethra. In the acute phase, the patient presents with congestion and edema of the urethral mucosa, or the formation of erosive ulcers, redness and swelling of the urethral opening, mucinous or purulent secretions, and tenderness and hardening of the urethra; Severe cases can affect the epididymis and spermatic cord.
Prostatitis
It is often caused by the direct spread of urethritis or acute inflammation of other tissues and organs through blood and lymphatic infections, and is a common disease among middle-aged and young men. Acute prostatitis has an acute onset, often manifested as general weakness, lower back pain, discomfort and sagging sensation in the perineum and anus, accompanied by painful urination, frequent urination, urgency, and even hematuria. Some people experience decreased libido, premature ejaculation, or impotence.
Orchitis
It is caused by various pathogenic bacteria and viruses that infect through the bloodstream, lymphatic vessels, vas deferens, or epididymis, with orchitis caused by mumps being the most common. Mumps is an acute infectious disease caused by a virus, which can easily lead to orchitis in adults. In the acute phase, the patient presents with redness, swelling, and pain of the scrotal skin, with a noticeable feeling of heaviness and swelling when walking. If not treated properly in the acute phase, it can turn into chronic orchitis.
Epididymitis
It is caused by retrograde spread of urethral stricture, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethritis, tuberculosis, and gonorrhea. The epididymis is tightly attached to the posterior lateral side of the testes and consists of a curved and coiled epididymal tube. It plays an important role in promoting sperm maturation, storing sperm, and absorbing decaying sperm. Therefore, when there are lesions in both epididymis, it can cause infertility. In the acute phase, the symptoms are swelling and pain of the scrotum, which can pull on the lower abdomen and thigh roots, making walking inconvenient. Incomplete treatment in the acute phase can lead to chronic epididymitis, so it is necessary to treat it thoroughly in the acute phase.
