In clinical practice, male genitourinary system infections refer to diseases caused by bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections of the male reproductive system, such as orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, and urethritis. The pathogens that cause genital tract infections include gonococcus, tuberculosis, viruses, mycoplasma, and chlamydia trachomatis, among which mycoplasma and chlamydia are the most common. If not treated promptly, they may even infect their partners, posing a great threat to family happiness.
Urogenital experts remind male friends to be vigilant against urinary and reproductive system infections when they discover the following three major conditions:
1. Abnormal urine.
Urinary tract infections can cause abnormal changes in urine, including bacterial urine, pyuria, and even hematuria.
2. Abnormal urination.
Frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and occasional urinary incontinence can also be seen. Sometimes urogenital infections caused by chronic nephritis can have polyuria in the early stages, and oliguria or anuria in the later stages.
3. Low back pain.
Low back pain is a common clinical symptom of urinary tract infections in men, as kidney and peripheral diseases can cause low back pain in men.
As can be seen from the above, even if men do not have unclean private lives, they may still have urinary and reproductive system infections. Experts say that self medication after suffering from urinary and reproductive system infections can lead to incomplete treatment. The bacteria may not be completely killed, and the remaining bacteria may still lurk there. Once encountering fatigue or reduced body resistance, the remaining latent bacteria will breed again, which is one reason why urinary and reproductive system infections are prone to recurrent attacks. This is the reason why male friends feel that the condition is sometimes good or bad. Therefore, when discovering symptoms of urogenital discomfort and persistent symptoms, it is best not to use medication on your own to avoid delaying the optimal diagnosis and treatment time, but to go to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
