What causes acute urethritis

Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra, which is also a common clinical disease. Acute urethritis is also a common type of urethritis, which is more common in women. There are many reasons that may cause urethritis, and the causes of different types of urethritis are also different. The cause of acute urethritis is relatively complicated. So what causes acute urethritis?

1. Urethral obstruction

Diseases such as urethral stenosis, phimosis, posterior urethral valve, foreign bodies in the urethra, tumors or stones can lead to urethral obstruction. Once obstruction occurs, it will cause inflammation, which will lead to acute urethritis.

2. Infection with pathogenic bacteria

Since the urethra is the sewer of the human body, and urine itself is very irritating and corrosive, if it is invaded by some pathogenic microorganisms from the outside at this time, these microorganisms mainly include gonococci, gonococci, mycoplasma, chlamydia, Candida albicans, Trichomonas and some common bacteria, no matter which microorganisms invade the patient, it can directly cause acute urethritis, which is also the main cause of this disease.

3. Urethra injury

No matter what the reason is that the patient's urethra is damaged, the effect of urine flushing will be weakened. In severe cases, it will induce acute urethritis.

4. Excessive masturbation and sexual intercourse

This is also a common cause of acute urethritis, because excessive masturbation and excessive sexual intercourse will cause pressure and damage to the urethra, which will not only cause local congestion and ischemia and hypoxia symptoms, but may even lead to a decrease in the resistance of the urethral mucosa. In severe cases, it will lead to infection.
