In fact, urethritis is very harmful to men and may cause other urinary system diseases such as cystitis, paraurethral abscess, urethral fistula, etc.

Urethral inflammation can easily further invade the prostate, seminal vesicles and vas deferens, so if it is not treated in time, it can also lead to reproductive system diseases such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis or vas deferens. In severe cases, it can also lead to a decline in semen quality, thereby reducing sperm survival rate and even leading to infertility.
