    Male urethral pain may be related to urethritis, prostatitis, urinary tract stones, sexually transmitted infections, trauma and other factors. You can use levofloxacin tablets, cefixime dispersible tablets, tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules, azithromycin tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and other drugs as directed by your doctor. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to determine the cause of the disease and avoid self-medication.

    Levofloxacin tablets are suitable for urethral pain caused by bacterial urethritis or prostatitis. The drug works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase. Adverse reactions such as nausea and dizziness may occur during medication, and it is contraindicated for patients with epilepsy and minors. It is necessary to drink more water to promote the elimination of pathogens.

    2. Cefixime dispersible tablets

    Cefixime dispersible tablets have a significant effect on gonococcal urethritis and are third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics. Alcohol should be abstained from during treatment to avoid disulfiram-like reactions. If it is combined with symptoms of dysuria or hematuria, it needs to be combined with other drugs for comprehensive treatment.

    3. Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained Release Capsules

Blood pressure changes need to be monitored during medication, and patients with orthostatic hypotension should use with caution. It is recommended to take it before bed to reduce side effects such as dizziness.

    Azithromycin tablets are suitable for urethral tingling caused by chlamydia or mycoplasma infection and have broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. The course of treatment is usually 3-5 days, and gastrointestinal discomfort may occur during the medication. Sexual partners need concurrent treatment to prevent recurrence of cross-infection.

    5. Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules

    Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules are used to relieve severe urethral pain caused by urinary tract stones or trauma, and reduce inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. It is contraindicated in patients with peptic tract ulcers and should not be used in combination with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If the pain persists for more than 3 days, a review is required.

Choose pure cotton breathable underwear and wash it frequently, and pay attention to cleanliness before and after sex.
