Patient's question:
Recently, many times after nocturnal emission, I immediately go to urinate and feel a stinging pain at the urethral opening, unable to urinate. It takes over an hour to urinate without pain. When I went to the hospital for a urine test, the results were normal. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
If you are not divorced and have not had normal sexual activity, nocturnal emissions are a normal physiological phenomenon. Semen overflows naturally. Pain at the urethral opening may suggest urethritis, potentially caused by consuming spicy or irritating foods that lead to digestive issues. You should drink more water to increase urine output, enhance the body's metabolism of waste products, and promptly eliminate them from the body. Urine also has the effect of cleansing the urethra of bacteria. If test results are normal, there is no need for anti-inflammatory treatment. For patients with nocturnal emissions, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
