The majority of chronic UTIs are due to untreated or improperly treated acute UTIs, which gradually transform into a higher percentage of men than women. Chronic UTIs differ in symptoms between men and women.1. Men: Chronic UTIs in men tend to invade the bulb of the urethra, the membrane and the prostate, with relatively mild symptoms. In the morning, there is often a small amount of slurry crust at the urethral orifice. When you press the perineum or the root of the penis with your finger, a little thin mucus can flow out. A few patients will have stinging pain in the urethra after urination is terminated, weakness in urination, and dripping urine symptoms; 2. Women: women have a shorter urethra, so chronic urethritis infection alone is relatively rare, mostly in conjunction with chronic cystitis, or combined with gynecological inflammation. The symptoms are mainly frequent urination, urinary urgency, painful urination, redness and swelling of the urethral orifice can be seen during examination, and there can be secretions when squeezed. Sometimes, vestibular adenitis can also be complicated by vestibular adenitis, with symptoms of redness and swelling of the gland and redness of the opening of the glandular duct, and there can be purulent discharge when squeezed. If complicated by gynecological inflammation, symptoms of flushing of the vaginal mucosa and erosion of the cervical opening may be present. If chronic urethritis is suspected, you should seek medical attention, perform routine urine tests and urine triple cup tests to confirm the diagnosis, and actively treat with medication. If there is urethral stricture, urethral dilatation or external urethrotomy should be done. If left untreated, men are prone to complications such as epididymitis and orchitis, and can also cause vesiculitis, prostatitis, and vasovaginitis. Women are prone to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis and tubal inflammation, which may lead to infertility.
