Urethritis causes urethral inflammation, leading to burning urination, discharge, and discomfort. It’s often treatable with antibiotics, and early medical care prevents complications.
Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. It can be caused by infections, including sexually transmitted bacteria and viruses, or non-infectious factors such as irritation from chemicals.
Patients often experience a burning sensation during urination, urethral discharge, itching around the urethra, and pelvic discomfort. Some may notice blood in urine or semen. Symptoms vary based on the cause and severity.
Diagnosis involves urine tests, urethral swabs, and physical examinations by healthcare providers. Treatment usually includes antibiotics to target bacterial causes. Timely intervention prevents complications like recurrent infections or spread to other areas.
Prevent urethritis by practicing safe sex, using barrier protection, maintaining good hygiene, and getting regular STI screenings. Avoid irritants like harsh soaps or chemicals in the genital area.
If you experience symptoms such as burning during urination, unusual discharge, or pelvic pain, consult a healthcare professional promptly. Early treatment ensures quick relief and reduces the risk of complications.
