What is the cause of urethral eversion?

In daily life, many people do not pay attention to the hygiene of their private parts, which can easily lead to some urinary system diseases. Urethral eversion is also a relatively common symptom. Generally, there are many reasons for urethral eversion. This may be caused by gonorrhea or local bacterial infection. Urethral eversion caused by long-term urethral eversion has a great impact on the health of the body.

What is the cause of urethral eversion ?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease that is spread through sexual contact with someone who has gonorrhea. Urine always drips from the urethra after urinating, and the dripping is not clean. This is one of the typical symptoms of prostate and should be treated. Slight ectropion of the urethra may be caused by inflammation of the urethra.

Clinical manifestations of gonorrhea

1. Uncomplicated gonorrhea

(1) Male gonorrhea

① The incubation period of acute gonorrhea in men is generally 2 to 10 days, with an average of 3 to 5 days. The urethral opening begins to feel burning, itching, redness, swelling and eversion. Burning pain during urination, accompanied by frequent urination, and a small amount of mucous secretion from the urethra. After 3 to 4 days, most focal necrosis occurs in the urethral mucosal epithelium, producing a large amount of purulent secretions, stinging pain during urination, and significant redness and swelling of the glans penis and foreskin. Gonorrhea or blood may be seen in the urethra, and pus scabs may form at the urethral opening in the morning. Accompanied by systemic symptoms of varying severity.

② Chronic gonorrhea in men generally has no obvious symptoms. When the body's resistance is reduced, such as when excessive fatigue, drinking, or having sexual intercourse, symptoms of urethritis may appear.

(2) Female gonorrhea

① After acute gonorrhea infection in women, the initial symptoms are mild or asymptomatic. Generally, after an incubation period of 3 to 5 days, urethritis, cervicitis, paraurethral glanditis, vestibular glanditis and proctitis will appear successively, among which cervicitis is the most common. 70% of female gonorrhea patients have urinary tract infections. Gonococcal cervicitis is common and often occurs at the same time as urethritis.

② Chronic gonorrhea in women: Acute gonorrhea can become chronic if not adequately treated. Symptoms include lower abdominal distension, back pain, and excessive vaginal discharge.

③ Pregnancy complicated by gonorrhea often has no clinical symptoms. When a pregnant woman with gonorrhea gives birth, the infection may reach the fetus through the birth canal, especially when the fetus is in breech presentation. This may lead to premature rupture of membranes, intra-amniotic infection, premature birth, postpartum sepsis, and endometritis.

④ In young girls, gonococcal vulvovaginitis causes redness and swelling of the vulva, perineum and perianal area, and a lot of purulent vaginal secretions, which can cause dysuria, local irritation symptoms and ulceration.

2. Gonorrhea with complications

(1) Complications of gonorrhea in men

① In cases of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis, if the seminal vesicles are affected, blood may be mixed in the semen. When complicated with prostatitis, there is pain in the perineum, rectal examination reveals an enlarged and painful prostate, and enlarged seminal vesicles.

② Epididymitis and bulbourethritis: epididymal pain, swelling and tenderness. When complicated by bulbourethritis, swollen glands can be felt in the perineum, and the patient feels discomfort or dull pain. When complicated by acute epididymitis, the scrotum is red, swollen and painful, the epididymis is swollen and painful, and the spermatic cord is thickened.

③The stimulation of purulent secretions of gonococcal balanitis can cause inflammation of the glans and foreskin.

④ Glandular urethritis, retention cyst, lymphangitis, lymphadenitis and preputial gland abscess The crypts and glands of the anterior urethra may be invaded, which is called glandular urethritis. If these glands become blocked, they may form retention cysts, which may rupture and form periurethral cysts. Inflammation of the paraurethral glands or around the urethra may extend to the corpus cavernosum of the penis, often complicated by lymphangitis and unilateral or bilateral inguinal lymphadenitis. The preputial glands on both sides of the frenulum of the penis may also be affected and form abscesses.
