Why does the urethra in women

The urethra in women falls ill less often than in men. Basically, if such a disease occurs, it occurs against the background of acute colpitis and endocervicitis caused by gonorrhea, Trichomonas. Such a course causes itching in the area of the urethra in women, chronic nonspecific pain, burning in the urethra. Typically, the treatment of urethritis consists of antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs, prescribe vitamins, as well as local infusion of medicinal preparations into the urethra.

Two diseases of this canal are considered characteristic for women - polyps and prolapse, and by the main signs these diseases are often similar.

The urethra in older women is often characterized by loss (prolapse), which is often combined with the omission of the vagina due to damage to the muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum. This is caused by childbirth or natuzhivaniem with constipation, long-term heavy physical work, a long cough. As a result, the urethra extends over the outer labia.

It is worth noting that the woman with urethral prolapse may not observe unusual subjective sensations, nor are they observed in the moderate course of the disease. Examining the prolapse of the urethra, the doctor can see the pattern of protrusion of the mucous membrane, which has a red color along the circumference of the outer orifice of the canal.

When women have an urethra, they go to the doctor. However, often this protrusion does not cause unpleasant sensations, and the gynecologist first detects it during a routine examination, sometimes taking it for a polyp.

A serious disease of this canal is the polyp, which is a small tumor-like formation located on one of the walls of the urethra near its outer opening.

More recently, the polyp in the female urethra was considered to be inflammatory, with a tumor nature, so the treatment prescribed conservative methods - powders, ointments, moxibustion. According to modern studies, the polyp in its structure represents a benign tumor - adenoma or papilloma.

If you do not treat the urethra in women who have a polyp, they can be reborn as a malignant tumor. Therefore, the polyp in the urethra deserves a serious relationship between the patient and the doctor.

As a rule, the urethra is treated in women with diseases associated with the presence of polyps, by surgical intervention.

With regard to conservative methods of treating polyps in female urethra, carried out by electric current or chemical cauterization, they do not provide an absolutely complete destruction of the tumor or, causing irritating effect on tissues, provoke its growth and transition to the malignant stage.

Radical measures are also applied to other benign tumors in the female urethra - myomas, fibromas, angiomas. Only with the smallest, smooth, soft polyps of the urethra can one not resort to surgical intervention, provided that the urologist continuously monitors.

Urethritis is very difficult to treat, so preventive measures are needed to help prevent this rather unpleasant disease. It is necessary to avoid strong hypothermia and, of course, observe the rules of intimate hygiene, use condoms to prevent the introduction of various types of infections. In addition, women need to pay attention to their diet, to avoid stress, to prevent the appearance of constipation.
