What are the symptoms of urethral and penile tuberculosis? How to treat penile tuberculosis with good results

Urethral and penile tuberculosis are two diseases that are adjacent and prone to developing simultaneously. Let's introduce both together. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by tubercle bacillus. The pathogen will not come on immediately when it enters the human body, but can be hidden in organs for a long time. Generally speaking, when the human body is weak, it can reproduce in large quantities and cause various diseases. To better prevent this disease, let's first understand the symptoms of urethral and penile tuberculosis.

Symptoms of tuberculosis in the urethra and penis

1. Symptoms of urethral tuberculosis: urethral discharge, frequent urination, painful urination, urethral bleeding or hematuria. When urethral stricture occurs, difficulty in urination occurs, with thinner urinary lines, shorter urinary range, and weak urination. The perineal area is in contact with a thick and hard plain shaped urethra. It can cause periurethral inflammation, periurethral abscess, or secondary infection, leading to the formation of urethral fistula after rupture.

2. Symptoms of penile tuberculosis: The head of the penis is hard, painless, and presents as a potential ulcer after rupture. There is cheese necrotic tissue and granulation tissue at the bottom, and the ulcer does not heal for a long time.

Cause of penile tuberculosis

1. Sexual contact infection: penile tuberculosis mainly refers to the direct infection of the penis with tuberculosis bacteria. During sexual intercourse, the penis contacts the female vagina, and the female cervix has tuberculosis, which causes penile tuberculosis.

2. Hematological infection: Primary tuberculosis enters the bloodstream and spreads to the penis through circulation, resulting in secondary penile tuberculosis. Mainly occurring in the corpus cavernosum of the penis.

3. Spread of the condition: It is commonly seen in patients with urethral tuberculosis, where caseous lesions pass through the urethra and involve the penis, causing secondary penile tuberculosis.

How should tuberculosis of the urethra and penis be treated? The treatment methods for urethral and penile tuberculosis are as follows:

1. Anti tuberculosis drug treatment.

2. Firstly, treat renal tuberculosis, prostate tuberculosis, and epididymal tuberculosis.

3. Patients with urethral stricture undergo urethral dilation.

4. Patients with poor or ineffective urethral dilation should not undergo cystostomy.

5. Local excision of the lesion is feasible when anti tuberculosis drug treatment for penile tuberculosis is ineffective.

6. The limitations of urethral stricture can be achieved by removing the narrow scar and anastomosing it to the opposite end or performing urethral resection under urethroscopy.

How to prevent it?

1. Healthy lifestyle:

When the body's resistance to tuberculosis decreases, it attacks and causes disease. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the chance of developing the disease. 1. Moderate exercise 2. Adequate sleep 3. Balanced diet 4. Avoid smoking and drinking 5. Breathe fresh air and maintain indoor air circulation 6. Personal hygiene (such as avoiding coughing or sneezing at others)
