Urethritis can be non-infectious (traumatic), infectious, metabolic (with gastrointestinal diseases), allergic. So, infectious urethritis is always caused by viruses that are transmitted sexually. But sometimes infectious urethritis can develop due to chlamydia, fungal infection, mycoplasma. At the time of sexual intercourse, the infection in the urethra occurs. As a result of injuring the urethral cavity with various foreign objects, traumatic urethritis may develop. As a rule, the symptoms of the disease are easy to recognize, because they are specific:
- rezi in the lower abdomen;
- burning during urination;
- swelling of the urethra sponges;
- abundant discharge during urination.
As a rule, the symptoms of the disease in menare expressed brightly, but in women, very often the infection goes unnoticed, which can lead to further complications. To establish an accurate diagnosis, a urine sample must be made and microscopy taken from the urethra can be made.
