What is the reason for the burning pain in the female urethra?

In real life, a burning sensation at the female urethral opening is a relatively common urethral disease. Generally, a burning sensation at the urethral opening can easily lead to a burning pain at the urethral opening, which greatly affects women's normal life and health. There are many reasons for the burning pain at the urethral opening, which may be a disease caused by inflammation of the urinary system.

Consider the inflammatory response of the urinary system, which causes frequent urination and urethral burning. First of all, it is recommended to drink more water and urinate more often, and see a professional urologist to flush the urinary system, perform urine routine, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, so that targeted medication can be used.

Men should be examined if they have a small amount of white discharge from the urethra or dirty underwear 1-3 weeks after unclean sexual intercourse, or if the urethral opening is sealed by a scab formed by dried discharge in the morning, or if they have a slight burning or itching sensation in the urethra when urinating.

In addition to the medical history and physical signs, urethral secretions need to be smeared or cultured to identify the pathogenic bacteria. If the male patient has no urethral secretions, a three-cup test should be performed (i.e., for pre-urethritis, the first cup of urine is turbid with a large number of pus cells and white blood cells, the 23rd cup is clear; for post-urethritis, the 13th cup is turbid with a large number of pus cells and white blood cells, and the 2nd cup is clear). Instrumental examination of the urethra should be avoided in the acute phase. Chronic urethritis requires urethrocystoscopy to determine the cause and sometimes a metal urethral probe to detect strictures in the urethra. Urethrography was performed when necessary.

Common causes of urethritis include:

①Urethra injury: abrasions of the urethral mucosa caused by urethral instrument examination can destroy the defensive function of the urethral mucosa and lead to bacterial infection.

② Foreign bodies in the urethra: Foreign bodies placed from the outside or stones in the urethra, etc., can cause urinary tract infection if left there for a long time.

③Urethra obstruction: such as stenosis of the foreskin opening, stenosis of the external urethral opening, urethral stenosis, posterior urethral valve, urethral tumor, female hymen umbrella, fusion of hymen at the urethral opening, etc., due to poor urination, urine accumulates in the urethra, which may lead to secondary urethral infection.

④ Inflammation of adjacent organs, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, vaginitis or cervicitis, can spread to the urethra, which is often a stubborn lesion of chronic posterior urethritis.

⑤ Often related to sexual life, unclean sexual life can easily cause urinary tract infection.
