White sticky liquid in urine

For the human body, the defecation function can ensure normal metabolism and excrete waste substances that are not needed by the human body. However, many people have abnormal bowel movements. For example, many people have white sticky liquid in their urine, which is one of the most typical symptoms of urethritis. If you want to relieve this symptom, you must first solve the problem of urethritis. Below, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about urethritis in detail!

1. Overview

Urethritis is a common disease, which refers to the inflammation of the urethral mucosa, and is more common in women. Clinically, it can be divided into acute and chronic, nonspecific urethritis and gonococcal urethritis. The latter two have similar clinical manifestations and must be differentiated based on medical history and bacteriological examination. It is mostly caused by retrograde invasion of pathogenic bacteria into the urethra.

2. Causes

Common causes of urethritis are as follows:

①Urethra injury: abrasions of the urethral mucosa caused by urethral instrument examination can destroy the defense 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 prepuce, 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 cause 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.

Treatment

1. Antibiotic application

There are many types of drugs currently used for treatment. According to the type of pathogen and its sensitivity to the drugs, 2 to 3 drugs should be selected and used in combination to achieve better therapeutic effects. The medication should be continued for 7 to 10 days before being discontinued after the symptoms disappear completely, the urine test is normal, and the bacterial culture is negative.

2. Adjuvant therapy

During the acute phase, you should drink more water to increase urine volume and flush the urethra. If you experience frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, you can take antispasmodics and eliminate the various causes of urethritis. Urethritis caused by sexually transmitted diseases should be treated at the same time as your spouse, otherwise it will be difficult to cure.

3. Local treatment

Suitable for chronic urethritis, contraindicated in the acute phase. ①Urethra dilation. ②Intraurethral instillation of drugs. ③Endoscopic electrocautery.
