Patient's question:
Recently, I have noticed symptoms of dysuria while using the restroom, and during severe cases, there has been blood in the urine. Every afternoon, I feel very hot, and I sweat a lot at night when sleeping. At first, I thought it might be prostatitis, but after a prostate examination, this issue has been ruled out. Now, I suspect it could be urethral and penile tuberculosis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms that may appear are:1. Urethral tuberculosis: Urethral discharge, frequent urination, urinary pain, urethral bleeding or hematuria. When urethral stricture occurs, it may cause difficulty urinating, thinning of the urine stream, shortening of the urinary range, weak urination, and palpable thick, hard, cord-like urethra in the perineum. It can lead to periurethral inflammation, periurethral abscess, or secondary infection, and may form a urethral fistula after rupture.
2. Penile tuberculosis: Hard nodules on the head of the penis, painless. After rupture, it forms a creeping ulcer with caseous necrotic tissue and granulation tissue at the base, which does not heal for a long time.
