Is acute urethritis contagious?

There are all kinds of diseases in today's society. Some diseases are contagious but some are not. People are very concerned about the infectiousness of diseases because some diseases are difficult to cure and very painful once they are infected. The contagiousness of the disease is very scary. For healthy people, it is really bad to worry about being infected when coming into contact with someone. Getting sick for no apparent reason is not a good thing. Next, let’s find out whether acute urethritis is contagious?

Acute urethritis is a very common reproductive infection, and it is divided into many types of urethritis due to different pathogens. Different types of urethritis have different causes. Acute urethritis can be divided into general bacterial urethritis, gonococcal urethritis and non-gonococcal urethritis. Acute urethritis is a sexually transmitted disease, which means it is infected through sexual contact. Urethritis can be easily transmitted to your partner during sexual intercourse, so try to avoid sexual intercourse during urethritis, or try using condoms during sexual intercourse, which is safer.

1. The main symptom of acute urethritis in male patients is a lot of urethral secretions, which are mucous at first and gradually become purulent. Urethral secretions are rare in female patients.

2. Burning pain in the urethra, frequent urination, urgency, and even difficulty urinating when urinating.

3. In chronic urethritis, urethral secretions decrease, with only itching or a crawling sensation. The irritation of urination is not as obvious as in the acute phase, and some patients may be asymptomatic. It is also best to go to a regular hospital to find a professional doctor for examination. If you are unfortunately diagnosed with urethritis, you should take the correct medication under the doctor's instructions. Eggs, milk, fish, and vegetables are all OK for urethritis, but don't drink alcohol. Be cheerful, eat less irritating food, and don't do fiery actions. The food for urethritis should be nutritious and reasonably matched. Avoid irritating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, and spicy food, and pay attention to the following aspects:

(1) Avoid extramarital affairs and stop sexual promiscuity.

(2) Adhere to regular treatment and avoid giving up halfway, which is beneficial for eliminating the source of infection and preventing complications.

(3) Food and drinking water.

(4) Get enough rest.

(5) Eliminate anxiety and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

If you find yourself suffering from male urethritis or acute urethritis, please go to the hospital for treatment in time. Acute urethritis is treated with a combination of antibiotics and chemical drugs, which has a better effect. During the acute phase, sexual intercourse should be avoided as this will prolong the course of the disease. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will pay attention to the above precautions for acute urethritis, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and never be discouraged.

There are still quite a few people suffering from this disease, and there are not many ways of infection. It is mainly transmitted through the several ways introduced in the article. In fact, it is better for me to pay more attention to this kind of thing. This is the safest way. Reduce the chance of infection. Maintaining a good hygiene habit is a must. But if you are accidentally infected, don't be afraid, just go to the hospital for treatment in time.
