What is the cause of urethral burning

If there is a burning sensation in the urethra, you need to be vigilant and find out whether it is caused by diseases such as prostatitis and non-gonococcal urethritis. Because the causes of urethral burning are usually closely related to these reasons, the treatment of these diseases should also be taken seriously.

1. Acute bacterial prostatitis: caused by bacterial infection, with an acute onset, severe condition, and systemic symptoms. Prostatic fluid examination shows a large number of white blood cells and pus cells, and bacterial culture is positive.

2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis: It is also caused by bacterial infection, 85% of which is caused by Escherichia coli. It has a long course of disease and recurrent symptoms. Prostatic fluid examination is positive and bacterial culture is positive.

3. Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis: It may be related to chlamydia and chlamydia infection. The course of the disease is long and the treatment is difficult. The prostatic fluid examination is positive and the bacterial culture is negative.

4. Asymptomatic chronic prostatitis: The patient has no obvious symptoms and it is often discovered during physical examination.

Non-gonococcal urethritis refers to urethritis caused by pathogens other than gonococci, mainly Chlamydia trachomatis and urealytic Mycoplasma. There are many pathogens that cause non-gonococcal urethritis. It is mainly caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urea.

In addition to the above two pathogens, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Trichomonas, herpes simplex virus, etc. can also cause non-gonococcal urethritis. When two sexes come into contact, pathogens invade the healthy human body through the skin and mucous membranes and cause infection.
