Why do I always feel like there is urine in my urethra?

From the clinical point of view, if a male friend always feels urine in the urethra, he may be suffering from prostatitis or cystitis. In order to better treat it, we must first determine the cause and then treat it symptomatically. If you suffer from prostatitis, in addition to the symptoms of discomfort when urinating, there will also be a certain degree of radiating pain. Sexual dysfunction is also a common symptom, and insomnia may also occur.

1. Why do I always feel urine in my urethra?

If you always feel frequent urination in your urethra, it may be a symptom of prostatitis. You can do a routine test on your prostate fluid. If it is indeed prostatitis, you will need to use antibiotics for treatment.

2. Symptoms of prostatitis

1. Urinary discomfort: The patient will feel bladder irritation, such as frequent urination, burning and pain in the urethra during urination, and radiating to the head of the penis. In the early morning, there is mucus and other secretions at the urethra, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination.

2. Local symptoms: a feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum and anus, which is aggravated by squatting, defecation and sitting for a long time.

3. Radiating pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also occurs in the penis, spermatic cord, testicles and scrotum, lower abdomen, and thigh roots.

4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality. White discharge from the urethra may occur after urination or defecation, and hematospermia may occur when combined with seminal vesiculitis.

5. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis may be accompanied by neurasthenia, manifested as fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc. Long-term and persistent prostatitis may even cause allergic reactions in the body, resulting in conjunctivitis, arthritis and other lesions.

3. Does prostatitis affect fertility?

Does prostatitis affect fertility? Prostatitis may affect fertility. Although the relationship between prostatitis and fertility has not been fully elucidated, when prostatitis occurs, changes in the secretion function of prostatic fluid may occur, thereby affecting the amount and composition of semen and interfering with the survival and activity of sperm. The decreased activity of enzymes in prostatic fluid will increase the viscosity of semen and prolong the sperm liquefaction time. The presence of inflammation can also lower the pH value of semen, produce anti-sperm antibodies, and lead to sperm death.

In addition, the incidence of chronic prostatitis is higher in infertile patients, and the incidence of combined semen abnormalities and positive serum antisperm antibodies is also higher, suggesting that this common men's disease is closely related to fertility disorders.
