Male patients should have three cups of test if they have no urethral secretions (ie, anterior urethritis, first cup of urine turbidity, a large number of pus cells, white blood cells, 2nd and 3rd cups clear. Posterior urethritis, 1st and 3rd cups are turbid, there are a lot of Pus cells, white blood cells, the second cup is clear). In the acute phase of the urethra, avoid using equipment examination.
