What is Urethritis?
Urethritis refers to inflammation of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Bacterial or viral infections usually cause it, but it can also result from injury, irritants, or underlying medical conditions. Urethritis is not a serious condition if treated early, but untreated cases can lead to complications such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) or urethral strictures.In simple terms, urethritis is when the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the outside becomes inflamed and irritated, making urination painful and uncomfortable. Proper urethritis treatment is necessary to prevent complications and ensure quick recovery.
Causes of Urethritis
The primary causes of urethritis include infections and irritants. Some common causes are:
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea and chlamydia are the most common bacterial causes of urethritis
- Certain viruses, including herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human papillomavirus (HPV), can cause urethritis.
- Injury to the urethra
- Chemical irritants from soaps, spermicides, or contraceptives
- Allergic reactions
- Previous infections or untreated urethritis can lead to scarring and narrowing of the urethra (urethral stricture).
- Medical procedures involving the insertion of catheters or surgical instruments can also cause urethral strictures.
Symptoms of Urethritis
Urethritis symptoms can vary based on the cause and severity of the condition. Common symptoms include:
- Pain or burning sensation during urination

- Â Blood in the urine
- Â Discomfort or pain in the pelvic area

Diagnosis of Urethritis

- Blood tests can identify underlying infections or inflammation markers.
