What is the reason for urethral pain after nocturnal emission?

Patient's question:

I had an ejaculation in my dream last night, and this morning after waking up, I noticed some pain in my urethra. What could be the reason for the pain in the urethra after ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

It may be due to some remaining semen in the urethra that hasn't been expelled in time, causing slight blockage. Alternatively, it could be due to abdominal discomfort or inflammation-induced pain. You can drink more water and urinate more today, and carefully observe for a couple of days. If there's no more pain afterward, there's no need to worry. If the pain persists, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication together, such as quinolone-class drugs, and also use some heat-clearing and dampness-dispelling remedies.
