Urethritis Congestive

Congestive urethritis is an inflammatory lesion of the urethra. The disease is accompanied by swelling due to increased pressure in the veins of the pelvic organs. The causative agents are pathogenic microorganisms - both pathogenic and opportunistic. The danger of the disease is that the inflammation penetrates further - into the ureter, then the bladder, renal pelvis, and also causes a narrowing of the lumen of the urethra up to complete obstruction of the urinary tract, and, accordingly, a violation of urodynamics. The congestive form is characterized by stagnation of venous blood, so it

Urethritis is an inflammation of the bladder or urethra.

Urethritis is one of the most common diseases among men and women.

Most often, urethritis is the result of infection entering the urethra - usually pathogenic fungi such as Candida, less often spirochetes and bacteria. Less common is inflammation that is not associated with infection - it is usually allergic or idiopathic. Allergic urethritis is divided into infectious and non-infectious. The first form of the disease is of infectious origin, but it occurs under the influence of an allergen. Infectious urethritis mainly affects women after 40 years of age, and non-infectious urethritis affects patients of any gender and age. Idiopathic urethritis has an unclear cause, namely what causes it to develop. It is more often detected in men under 30 years of age. In the presence of genetic abnormalities, hereditary urethritis is detected. This form is associated with hereditary conditioning. Symptoms of urethritis are often combined with other diseases of the genitourinary system, so consultation with a urologist is recommended. Diagnosis of urethritis includes examination, laboratory tests and instrumental studies. Research methods include bacteriological analysis of urine, Katsun urine examination, immunofluorescent and cytological examination of bladder tissue, cytological and immunological examination of prostate secretion, microbiological examination of urethral discharge and gynecological smear. If there is a suspicion of the development of pathology of the genitourinary organs, an examination is carried out by a urologist for additional diagnostics; often the patient is referred for a consultation with a venereologist or andrologist. It can occur when there is a violation of blood circulation in the vessels of the urethra, after infectious diseases, poisoning, severe injuries, or after prolonged sexual abstinence. Treatment of congestive urethritis requires antibiotics, and additional examination may be necessary.
