Rapid Relief: Affordable Treatment for Urethritis

Urethral inflammation is typically known as urethritis. This infection is usually associated with purulent discharge in men and dysuria in women. Treatment of urethritis in male and female patients caused by bacteria can be cured successfully using antibiotics. However, chronic urethritis treatment may not be done through antibiotics. For this, you must visit your doctor in person for a physical examination.

Urethritis in Men: Causes & Symptoms

Urethritis can have various causes, including:

• Bacterial Infections: Urethritis caused by neisseria gonorrhoeae or chlamydia trachomatis bacteria.
• Viral Infections: Viruses, specifically herpes simplex virus, can cause urethritis.
• Sexually Transmitted Infections: Urethritis is often associated with gonorrhea and chlamydia.
• Chemical Exposure: Certain chemicals or irritants can also cause urethritis. 

A physical injury or trauma and even reactive arthritis can lead to inflammation of the urethra. Therefore, it’s important to identify the actual cause to get appropriate urethritis medication.

Common symptoms of urethritis may include:

• Burning sensation and discomfort during urination  
• White or cloudy discharge from the penis 
• Increased urge to urinate more frequently
• Swelling and redness around urethra opening  
• Irritation or itching in the urethral area 

Seek medical care immediately if you suspect you have urethral inflammation. You may have to share your lab test results with our licensed healthcare practitioner to avoid misdiagnosis and treatment failure.
