Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs recently, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Could you please explain why there's a stinging sensation at the urethral opening when I urinate?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, you are experiencing pain at the urethral opening during urination. This condition is likely a urinary tract infection, usually caused by E. coli. It can be transmitted through sexual intercourse or poor hygiene in the perineal area. I believe most people are aware that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
