Patient's question:

Here is the English translation of your text, with line breaks preserved as instructed and all Chinese content translated into English:
Question: I have sex with my girlfriend about 5-6 times a day recently, and it has been like this for several days. After ejaculation, I experience itching and pain. I took some nitrofurantoin medication, and the symptoms disappeared after abstaining. Is there any problem? I wonder if it could be a urinary tract infection or if it's due to excessive sexual activity.
My girlfriend, after I recovered in about a week, our sexual activity returned to the way it was the previous two days. Today, she said she has symptoms of frequent urination and a slight pain during urination. I don’t know if it’s a urinary tract infection or some other condition. Could someone please advise me? Thank you very much~~~~~~~

Doctor's answer:

For the issue of urethral pain, it must be taken seriously. Regarding the urethral pain you mentioned, here is the explanation. Hello: Urethral pain refers to the sensation of pain in the urethra, bladder, and perineum during urination. The pain intensity varies from mild to severe, often presenting as a burning sensation, with severe cases feeling like being cut by a knife. Urethral pain is commonly associated with urethritis, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, seminal vesiculitis, cystitis, urinary tract stones, bladder tuberculosis, pyelonephritis, and other conditions. Based on the characteristics of urethral pain, it can help clarify the diagnosis of the disease.
