What is Urethritis?

Bacterial infection of the urethra (tube from which urine exits the body) leading to pain and penile discharge. It is most often caused by sexually transmitted diseases like Gonorrhea and Chlamydia infections as well as viruses like herpes.

Typical Symptoms of Urethritis

Diagnostic Questions for Urethritis

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Have you experienced burning or painful urination along with a decrease in urine volume?
  • Are you experiencing pain or burning when you urinate?
  • Is there pus coming out of your urethra?
  • Have you had sexual intercourse with anyone other than your regular partner in the past month?
  • Do you have a fever?

Treatment of Urethritis

Treatment involves antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria. It's important to abstain from sex during treatment and to screen for other sexually transmitted diseases simultaneously. Sexual partners should also be informed and encouraged to get screened to prevent reinfection.
