​What's the matter with the redness below the urethra?

The reproductive organs are very fragile organs for the human body. If you do not pay attention to hygiene or do not pay attention to cleanliness during sexual life, it will easily breed some bacteria, which will cause genital inflammation, or symptoms such as redness, itching, and inflammation of the urethral opening.
