Symptom #4: Urethral Itching
An itch is an uncomfortable sensation where there is an urge to scratch. Since itching in this area is considered to be socially unacceptable, it can become debilitating and measures need to be taken to treat the underlying condition.
Itching in the urethra can be associated with other issues such as dysuria, pain, rash, and discharge. It is important to avoid scratching as it can cause breaks in the skin, leading to infection and bleeding. In urethritis, the urethral itching may persist. Urethral itching can be caused by infections (viral, bacterial, fungal) and contact allergies.
