Will urethral pain heal on its own without treatment?

If urethral pain is not treated and improved promptly and effectively, it will not get better on its own and may even cause other diseases. In severe cases, it can lead to a decline in the quality of male sperm. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to pay attention to comprehensive examinations and treatments, and use medications according to the doctor's advice.

1. If urethral pain is not treated in time, it will not heal on its own and may even lead to other diseases. Therefore, you should pay attention to it. Urethral pain can affect a person's normal life. In severe cases, it can lead to a decrease in male sperm motility, thereby affecting fertility.

2. Urethral pain is treated by combining antibiotics and chemical drugs, which has a better effect. Recently, norfloxacin has been used in combination with sulfonamides, with satisfactory clinical results. Systemic treatment should include rest and adequate fluid intake. During the acute period of urethral pain, sexual intercourse should be avoided, otherwise it will prolong the course of the disease. During the chronic stage, if there is stricture at the external urethral orifice or inside the urethra, urethral dilation or urethral opening splitting should be performed. For patients with chronic posterior urethritis who have long-term recurring attacks and are not effectively responded to systemic medications, local urethral medications may be considered.

3. If patients with urethral pain have urinary tract irritation signs and conventional antibacterial treatment is ineffective, and there are no complex factors, mycoplasma, chlamydia or viral infection should be considered, and tetracycline can be used for treatment first. If there is resistance to tetracycline, erythromycin, methyl erythromycin or roxithromycin can be used instead. The above drugs are effective against mycoplasma and chlamydia. If the above treatments are still ineffective, it may be acute urethral syndrome.

4. The main symptom of acute urethral pain in male patients is a lot of urethral secretions, which are mucous at first and gradually become purulent. Urethral secretions are rare in female patients. Both men and women experience burning pain in the urethra, frequent urination, and urgency when urinating. In severe cases, urethral spasm may occur. Urine examination showed pus cells and red blood cells. In chronic urethritis, urethral secretions gradually decrease, or only a small amount of serous secretions can be seen at the urethral opening during the first urination in the early morning. The urination irritation symptoms are no longer as obvious as in the acute phase, and some patients may be asymptomatic. Urethritis can spread directly to the bladder or prostate and cause cystitis or prostatitis. If acute urethritis is not treated properly, it may be complicated by paraurethral abscess, which may penetrate the skin of the penis and become a urethral fistula. During the healing process of urethral inflammation, fibrosis can cause urethral stenosis.
