Among the male population, urethritis is considered a very common disease and is an inflammatory process that occurs in the urethra. Urethritis can be non-infectious and infectious, and also be primary and secondary. The primary form is characterized by the ingress of inflammation into the urethra with unprotected sexual intercourse, and the secondary form is characterized by infection from other organs of the man( bladder, prostate, etc.).Depending on the pathogen, the pathology can be subdivided into gonorrhea, bacterial, viral, trichomonas and candidiasis urethritis. I would like to tell you more about the last type of pathology.
General information
Candid urethritis is a lesion of the mucous membranes of the urethra by yeast Candida. There is a similar form of pathology in men is extremely rare. Typically, the appearance of a fungus in the body contributes to long-term antibiotic therapy or it is transmitted from an infected partner through sexual intercourse. Usually, this form of urethritis proceeds secretly, although it may be accompanied by a slight burning sensation, an itchy sensation and secretion of whitish curdled clusters. In case of inadequate treatment or its absence, candidal urethritis can pass into a chronic course. This can also be facilitated by a suppressed immune response or the spread of the inflammation process to other organs of the pelvic and urogenital system.
Interesting fact. Candidate fungus differs cunning, because in case of insufficient treatment, he continues to live secretly in the body. Develop it does not give immunity, but the man remains the carrier of the infection. During sexual intercourse, the candidate enters the urethra, where the fungus finds favorable conditions for further reproduction. As a result, the urethra creates an infectious focus.
How candidiasis urethritis is manifested
The first signs of pathology may appear after actual infection in a few hours, although usually the incubation period lasts 10-15 days. The man begins to feel some discomfort in the urethra: it starts to itch and burn. In the region of the head appears hyperemia and puffiness, there may be a grayish coating. Upon awakening, a man can detect mucous filamentous secretions of a whitish hue with an unpleasant odor.
Along with these symptoms, a man can detect the appearance of purulent impurities in the discharge of blue-green color. There is a frequent desire to go to the toilet, a feeling of incomplete devastation of the bladder. The process of urination can cause pain in the penis. Perhaps the appearance of impurities in the blood in urine and semen. The penis becomes too sensitive to any effect, and during sexual intercourse it may cause severe pain.
What causes the emergence of the pathology of
It is risky to catch candidal urethritis almost any man, because often the causes of the disease are due to his promiscuous sex life. At the initial stages, the pathology practically does not manifest itself, until the formation of its characteristic clinical picture. Inflammatory processes in the urethra develop due to the severe inhibition of the immune defense of the male body.
Infection penetrates the body through blood vessels, lymphatic ways, through the skin or intestines. But the greatest risk of getting into the body of infection exists in the process of unprotected sex. Immunity of urethral walls does not cope with candidiasis infection, and it begins intensive development.
How to get rid of the candida form of urethritis
If candidal urethritis is detected at the very beginning of the pathology development, then the treatment of local drugs will suffice for its treatment. These are antifungal drugs like Miconazole or Ketoconazole, which can be produced in the form of creams, gels or ointments. Treatment with drugs of this category implies a daily two-fold application of the drug to the head of the penis.
If the pathology is acute, then it is required to restore the tissue damaged by the fungus and disinfect it. To this end, the urologist prescribes rinsing of the urethra with special antimicrobial and disinfectant solutions. If you approach the treatment of pathology in a comprehensive and clearly follow medical recommendations, then during a week of treatment can completely eliminate candidiasis urethritis.
Do not try to cope with the disease only through folk remedies, as they can only help in conjunction with antifungal medications, but they can not completely cure the disease.
Specialists use the latest methods of treatment of a similar form of urethritis. The preparation Fluconazole, which localizes fungal development, has become quite active in the therapy of this disease. In cases where the course of pathology is complicated by incidental diseases, additional treatment is often required.
If pathology takes on a chronic form, treatment requires the administration of systemic antifungal agents. To strengthen and restore protective forces, as well as in prevention, the patient is assigned immunomodulators and complexes of vitamin preparations.
Possible complications of
If proper treatment was not provided, or it was not present at all, the pathology becomes chronic. Immunity does not allow the fungus to multiply and develop, which makes it simply hiding in the prostate, testicles, testicles. In the case of a provoking factor like hypothermia, exacerbations of chronic diseases, or a decrease in immune defense, the candidature becomes active and again provokes the development of urethritis.
As a result, the testicles, testes or prostate can suffer from the infection. A man can face vesiculitis, prostatitis, there will be problems with erectile function and ejaculation. Therefore, therapy of the candida form of the disease should be under the strict guidance of a professional urologist, then the treatment will be short-lived and will pass without possible complications.
