What is the penile urethra?

The penile urethra is part of the male anatomy that drains urine from the bladder and ejaculates from the seminal vesicles. It is a tubular structure that runs from the base of the penis to the tip of the glans. The urethra is lined with mucous membranes that secrete a lubricating fluid during sexual arousal. The penile urethra is subject to several disorders, including infections, blockages, and tumors. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying condition.

Causes of the penile urethra

The penile urethra is the tube that drains urine from the bladder and carries it out through the penis. It can be obstructed by several different things, including: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): This is an enlargement of the prostate gland, which can squeeze the urethra and make it difficult to urinate. Prostate cancer: This is a rare cause of obstruction, but it can happen if cancer grows large enough to block the urethra. Urethral stricture: This is a narrowing of the urethra, which can be caused by injury, surgery, or inflammation. Congenital abnormalities: Some people are born with an abnormally narrow urethra or with a blockage in the urethra that needs to be surgically corrected.

Causes of penile urethra dysfunction

There are several different causes of penile urethra dysfunction, which can range from minor to major. In some cases, the cause may be something as simple as a blockage or obstruction in the urethra. This can be caused by anything from an enlarged prostate gland to a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Other causes of penile urethra dysfunction include: Trauma or injury to the penis or urethra, Congenital abnormalities of the urethra, Tumors or cancers of the penis or urethra, Infections of the penis or urethra, Inflammation of the urethra (urethritis), Stones or other debris in the urethra.

The symptoms of penile urethra dysfunction can vary depending on the underlying cause. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all. In others, the symptoms may be mild and only occur occasionally. However, in some cases, the symptoms can be severe and debilitating. The most common symptom of penile urethra dysfunction is a burning sensation during urination. This may be accompanied by a feeling of urgency or frequency of urination. In severe cases, there may be blood in the urine.
