Symptoms of candidal urethritis in men

The peculiarity of the disease under consideration lies in the fact that it can for a long time be absolutely asymptomatic.It should be understood that candidal urethritis has an incubation period - Candida fungus is activated after 3-7 days, in some cases it may take 2-3 weeks. Only after activating the pathological process does a man develop symptoms:

• itching and burning, intensifying at the time of urination;
• pain is cutting and permanent;
• discharge from the urethra - abundant, mucopurulent, characterized by a greenish tinge and an extremely unpleasant odor.

Note : progression of candidal urethritis is never accompanied by fever or weakness - a man, in general, feels fine.But if treatment is not started, then the disease as it develops provokes the appearance of these symptoms.

How the disease is diagnosed

The doctor necessarily conducts a series of diagnostic measures - they allow not only to clarify the diagnosis, but also to identify the true causative agent of the disease.As a causative agent can act and sexual infection, and opportunistic microorganisms, so the man will take tests for infections of both types.

Simultaneously with the detection of a true pathogen, the doctor also receives the results of its sensitivity to antibacterial drugs - this is the basis of therapeutic prescriptions.

The disease under consideration is usually very treatable, but this is only possible with timely diagnosis and proper treatment. Otherwise, candidal urethritis can lead to the development of the following complications:

• prostate inflammation - prostatitis;
• testicular inflammation - orchitis;
• narrowing of the urethra - stricture of the urethra;
• Inflammation of seminal vesicles - vesicles;
• balanitis and / or balanoposthitis.

General principles for the treatment of candidal urethritis

A physician appointing an effective treatment tries to achieve two goals: elimination of infection from the urethra and restoration of its wall.Most often, antibiotic drugs are used to get rid of infection( antibiotics) - specific drugs are selected individually, taking into account the results of the diagnostic study.

In addition to antibacterial drugs, a man can be prescribed medicines that can prevent the development of side effects from antimicrobial treatment, immunomodulators and vitamins.

It is quite difficult and long to treat this disease, which takes place in a chronic form - besides the classical antibacterial therapy, the man is prescribed the administration of medications directly to the urethra, and also the course of immunotherapy.
