What Is Urethritis?
10. Treatment
Treatment for urethritis will depend on the underlying cause of the condition. In most cases it will mean that antibiotics are needed to help clear a bacterial infection. Antiviral medications are needed instead in cases where a virus is the culprit. Patients should always make sure to complete the course of any medication they are prescribed.
It will also be important for the patient to abstain from sexual intercourse until their condition has been cured. If the condition was caused by an STI, then the patient should also inform their sexual partners. Their partners will also need to get checked up and treated if necessary.
