Urethritis specialists call the defeat of the urethra inflammatory. As a separate variety, nonspecific urethritis is distinguished. This pathological condition is difficult to diagnose, because it is characterized by a mild symptomatology, therefore pathology is found in the later stages, when the signs are already pronounced. Such problems with the detection of pathology often provoke the transition of the disease to a chronic course, which is characterized by frequent exacerbations and serious complications.
How nonspecific urethritis and its causes are manifested
The causes of the nonspecific form are conventionally pathogenic microorganisms( bacteria and viruses) like human papillomavirus, staphylococcus, candida fungi, chlamydia, genital herpes and other infectious diseases. Infection can occur through the sexual route of transmission or if the sterility of medical procedures is not observed.
Nonspecific urethritis is a not yet fully studied sexually transmitted disease with highly contradictory data. Virtually all pathological cases are characterized by the absence of pronounced incubation boundaries, and the clinic is formed in accordance with the form of the disease. In general, the disease is characterized by soreness of the penis, yellow with drying out secretions, some swelling of the head. The process of urination is complicated by burning and cutting intolerable pain. But nonspecific urethritis does not possess any specific symptomatology. It can manifest as secretions with burning and soreness, and the discharge can be purulent or contain bloody impurities( hematuria).
In case of neglect of the inflammatory process, nonspecific urethritis passes into a chronic course in which any symptomatology may not be present at all. Sometimes patients notice that the amount of secretions decreases or they completely stop, and when exposed to factors such as hypothermia, overexcitation or alcohol, they become more.
In general, the chronic course of urethritis of non-specific forms can provoke the emergence of other infectious diseases. And if, after passing the therapeutic course, pathogens remained in the body, then over time, nonspecific urethritis can develop repeatedly.
In general, the nonspecific variety of the disease can have several varieties:
- Bacterial form - when the disease has developed under the influence of a bacterial pathogen;
- Traumatic variety - when pathology develops against the background of trauma to the urethra;
- The form of nonspecific urethritis, the development of which is caused by disturbances in material metabolism;
- Allergic type of pathology, provoked by an allergic reaction to any medicine or food.
Among the characteristic symptoms, it is worth highlighting the allocation, which can have a very diverse nature. Sometimes the discharge is a mixture of seminal fluid with mucus, mucus-bloody substances, yellowish-greenish mucus.
Despite the inflammatory etiology of the disease, such urethritis is never complicated by fever or weakness.
If you do not take up the pathology in time, it can cause a lot of complications like purulent prostatitis, pathological narrowing of the urethra or orhoepididymitis.
Medication response of
disease Nonspecific urethritis will not pass spontaneously, so it is necessary to thoroughly approach the issue of therapy of this disease. A characteristic feature of the urethritis of this form is the optional passage of the therapeutic course to the sexual partner of the patient, of course, if the diagnosis did not reveal the attachment of any secondary disease.
During the period of treatment it is recommended to exclude all sexual relations and physical overload, it is advisable to switch to a dietary form of nutrition.
The basis of therapeutic measures to eliminate the disease is antibiotic therapy, a balanced menu and washing the urethra with antiseptic solutions. Such treatment does not require hospitalization and is conducted independently at home. Usually, the doctor prescribes local antibacterial drugs like Miramistin, Protargol, Potassium permanganate or medications for oral administration: Norfloxacin, Amoxiclav, Ciprofloxacin, Perfloxacin, etc. Immunomodulatory medications and vitamin complexes may be indicated for the normalization of immune defense.
