Dr. Li Mingchuan
The transmission routes of urethritis include trichomonas urethritis and direct infection by external bacteria entering through the external urethral orifice, and it can also be transmitted sexually. Urethritis is caused by external bacteria directly infecting the external opening of the urethra. Because the urethral opening is close to the vaginal opening and anus, neglecting hygiene in the perineal area can easily lead to bacterial growth at the urethral opening, thus triggering urethritis. It is important to seek timely medical attention at a reputable urology department and to drink plenty of water. When suffering from urethritis, sexual intercourse should be avoided; if necessary, condoms may be used.
