Cotton swabs inserted into the urethra now the penis always hurts what to do

Patient's question:

I inserted a medical cotton swab into my urethra, and now my penis always hurts and becomes hard for a short period of time. Did the cotton swab tear my urethra?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to use anti-inflammatory treatment with antibiotics. Short-term use of α-receptor blockers (e.g., Duzuo Jie) can be considered. Quit smoking and alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Avoid masturbation and excessive frequent sexual activity. Avoid local cold stimuli. At the same time, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect, with methods such as sitting in a basin (warm water for about 10 minutes). I believe everyone knows that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary issues in daily life, avoid stimulating foods, and maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
