There is white stuff in the female urine

Women will encounter many difficulties in life, especially gynecological diseases have always troubled every female friend. Due to the special structure of the urinary tract, women are particularly prone to symptoms of urinary tract infection or urethritis. They often experience soreness or white discharge when urinating. If you find this phenomenon, you should go to the hospital for examination and take medication as soon as possible. In daily life, you should also pay attention to drinking more water, eating more light food, and avoiding spicy food.

Why is there white stuff in women's urine?

It may be some vaginal secretions or some inflammatory irritation of the urethra. Pay attention to drink more water and urinate more often. If it happens frequently and is accompanied by frequent urination and urgency, you need to go to the urology department of the hospital to check whether the secretions are infected. The more common ones may be some non-gonococcal urethritis problems, which require appropriate oral antibiotics.

The symptoms of female urethritis will vary depending on the severity of the disease and each person's situation is different. Generally speaking, the symptoms of female urethritis are redness and swelling of the external urethral opening, with serous or purulent secretions on the surface. The onset is acute, usually without fever, and there are symptoms such as pain after urination, urgency, frequency, and turbid urine. Urinating occurs every few minutes, accompanied by a burning sensation and pain in the urethra, and blood can sometimes be seen in the turbid urine. When complicated by upper urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis), there are chills, fever, back pain and turbid urine, sometimes accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms and systemic symptoms.

Urethritis symptoms classification

1. Symptoms of gonococcal urethritis: Gonorrhea, also known as gonorrhea, is divided into acute gonorrhea and chronic gonorrhea. The main symptoms of acute gonorrhea are difficulty urinating and purulent discharge from the urethra. Most cases of chronic gonorrhea are a transformation from acute gonorrhea, and usually manifest as repeated attacks of urethritis symptoms.

2. Symptoms of acute urethritis: There is a lot of urethral secretions, which are mucus at first and then gradually become purulent. At the same time, there are frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating.

3. Symptoms of non-gonococcal urethritis: The symptoms are milder than those of gonorrhea. There is an itching or burning sensation in the urethra, and occasionally a stinging sensation. There is secretion in the urethral opening, but the secretion is thinner than that of gonorrhea. It is clear or light yellow, and the amount of secretion is also less than that of gonorrhea. A small amount of secretions will only escape after a long period of not urinating or before the first urination in the morning. Sometimes it only manifests as crotch contamination, and sometimes the patient has no subjective symptoms.

4. Symptoms of chronic urethritis: little secretion, mild symptoms, and some patients are asymptomatic. It is often easily overlooked and misdiagnosed.

5. Purulent secretions appear in the urethra, which are mucous at first and gradually become purulent, accompanied by redness and swelling of the urethral orifice, mucosal eversion, urgency, frequency, pain, urethral stinging, mental depression, and in severe cases, chills, high fever, and difficulty urinating. Patients with chronic urethritis will have less secretions, and symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and urgency will be alleviated during non-acute attacks, accompanied only by itching or a crawling sensation, and some patients may be asymptomatic. It is often easily overlooked and misdiagnosed.

Symptoms and causes of urethritis

1. Often related to sexual life: Unclean sexual life can easily cause urinary tract infection.

2. Foreign bodies in the urethra: Stones in the urethra can cause urinary tract infection.

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

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