What are the common causes of redness in boys' urethra?

If a boy's urethral opening is red, we need to consider whether it is caused by some urinary tract infection, or some reproductive health problems, such as common balanitis, or prostatitis, etc., which may cause the urethral opening to become red. Therefore, if we want to thoroughly and effectively treat and solve it and reduce the harm it causes, we must find the real cause so that we can provide correct treatment.

One is caused by excessive foreskin or phimosis. Such patients should undergo circumcision to expose the glans penis and reduce the irritation of moisture and smegma around the urethral opening. This can gradually reduce or eliminate the redness of the urethral opening.

The second is caused by urinary tract infection (such as prostatitis, etc.) or sexually transmitted diseases (such as gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, etc.). Such patients should go to a regular hospital for examination and receive active and thorough treatment after a clear diagnosis. Some patients with urinary tract infection found that their urethral opening was red during the illness. After treatment, the symptoms of urinary tract infection disappeared and various examinations were normal, except that the urethral opening was still red. They believed that their urinary tract disease was not completely cured and sought everywhere for a cure for the disease. The result was futile. In fact, as long as there is no pain or itching at the urethral opening, other symptoms have disappeared, and various examinations are normal, the disease is cured and the patient does not need to worry about it anymore.

The third reason is that bad working environment or eating habits increase the temperature of the genitals, causing moisture and sweating in the genitals. In this case, the symptoms will gradually improve as long as the patient pays attention to drinking more water, eating less spicy food, and drinking less alcohol.

In addition, the color of the urethral opening is easily affected by factors such as blood circulation and local environment (such as hot weather, sitz baths, strenuous exercise, etc.) and changes. Therefore, it is normal for some men to have some redness at the urethral opening. Don't worry too much about this.

The following situations are likely to cause redness of the urethral opening in boys. Therefore, in order to better ensure reproductive health, everyone needs to know more about these reproductive health common sense in life. In daily life, pay attention to the cleanliness of private parts and avoid unclean and unhealthy sexual behavior.
