Patient's question:
Recently, my urethral opening has been itchy sometimes, and I have a bit of mild dysuria, but not frequent urination or urgency. Could it be a fungal infection? Can fungi exist in the urethral opening? How should it be treated?Follow-up question: I had a vaginal discharge test, and the doctor said it was fine. Could it be a sexually transmitted disease?
Doctor's answer:
In your case, discomfort may be caused by a urinary tract infection. The common causes of this condition include: contact transmission of pathogens such as Candida albicans, trichomonas, mycoplasma, chlamydia, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, etc.; poor local hygiene; frequent sexual activity; unsafe sex; phimosis; insufficient water intake, etc. It is recommended that you consider your own situation and seek medical attention if necessary. The Gene Chip Detection System can provide accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of the pathogens causing the infection, helping to confirm the diagnosis, early treatment, and avoid delays in treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene, drink more water, and practice moderate masturbation in daily life. Wishing you good health.
