Symptoms of female urethral cyst

The female urethra is much shorter than the male urethra, and due to different physiological structures, women are more susceptible to invasion by pathogens. The bacteria can damage the lining of the urethra, causing urethral infection or even urethral cyst. This is a disease of the urinary system. If not treated in time, the condition will gradually worsen and there is a risk of turning into cancer. Once an attack occurs, there will be urinary pain and urethral bleeding, which should be paid attention to.

Urethral cyst is a relatively common urinary system disease, which is generally not common in clinical practice. Most people don’t know much about this disease, and it’s not easy to detect even after it occurs. Both men and women are at risk of developing urethral cysts. If the disease is not treated promptly and effectively, it can easily turn into urethral cancer. Therefore, we must actively prevent this disease in daily life. Only active treatment after becoming ill can effectively get rid of the invasion of urethral cyst.

After the onset of urethral cyst, male patients will experience urethra obstruction or swelling. In addition, a large number of abscesses will appear around the urethra, and symptoms of urine retention will appear during urination. In most cases, white purulent fluid will be secreted from the urethra. The patient will experience pain and itching at the urethral opening, and may also have hematuria or hematospermia. Men around 40 years old are at high risk of this disease, and elderly women are also very likely to develop urethral cysts.

Female patients may experience urinary pain, urgency, urethral bleeding and hematuria after the onset of the disease, and in severe cases may even experience sexual intercourse pain. Currently, the most effective method for treating urethral abscess is total urethrectomy. Male patients also need to have part of their penis or lymph nodes removed, while female patients also need to have their bladder and urethra removed. Then urinary diversion surgery can be performed, only in this way can the disease be effectively controlled to further harm the body. Here we need to remind the majority of patients that radiotherapy has little effect on the treatment of urethral cysts.

In summary, both men and women should have a further understanding of urethral cysts. Although this disease is relatively rare in daily life, it can easily lead to death if not treated in time. We must develop good hygiene habits in our daily lives and avoid having unclean sexual intercourse frequently. It is best to take a bath and change your underwear regularly, and never have sexual relations with people with gynecological or andrological diseases. In fact, if you can do annual physical examination, it is the most effective way to prevent this disease.
