Chronic urethritis can occur in both men and women. The female urethra is short and the pathogenic bacteria are easy to invade. The disease is common and frequently occurring, and its incidence rate accounts for 30% - 45% of the population. Most of them come from a stable attack, and a few of them come from an acute attack, and then turn to a chronic process. The common symptoms after the attack are urethral discomfort, burning, and itching. Some have a small amount of clear secretion, frequent urination, increased nocturnal urination, discomfort in the lower abdomen, and pain at the pubic bone. Men also have symptoms of scrotal and testicular discomfort.
Chronic urethritis is characterized by frequent urination, urgency and pain. VB1 bacteria are positive, while VB3 and EPS bacteria are non-bacterial. Chronic urethritis cannot be completely eradicated. The main reason is that some people abuse anti-inflammatory drugs outside after suffering from acute urethritis, which is ineffective or temporarily controlled after eating, and relapse of irritants such as alcohol or seafood, which often brings double burden to the patient's economy and spirit.
The symptoms of chronic urethritis are not as obvious as those of acute urethritis, the urinary secretion is reduced, only itching and ant sense are found, and urination irritation is not as obvious as that of acute stage, and some patients have no symptoms. When urinating, the urethra has burning pain, frequent urination, urgency and difficulty urinating
