Abdominal pain
Questions your doctor may ask to check for urethritis
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose urethritis
Do you feel pain when passing urine?
Have you had sexual intercourse with anyone other than a regular partner in the last month?
Do you have difficulty completely emptying your bladder?
Do you have pus coming out from urethra (the opening where urine passes through)?
Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?
Treatment for urethritis
Treatment is with antibiotics to kill the bacteria. It is important to avoid sex during the course of treatment, and to screen for other sexually transmitted diseases at the same time. Sexual partners should also be informed and asked to go for screening, to avoid catching the infection again.
