What Is Urethritis?
7. Infertility In Women
If the infection were to spread from the urethra and reach the female reproductive system, then it may be able to do permanent damage there. This can result in a number of rather unwelcome conditions including pelvic inflammatory disease. This can cause pain during sex and pain in the pelvis throughout the day.
Untreated urethritis will also result in infertility in some cases. The condition will also make ectopic pregnancies more likely, which can be a threat to the patient’s life. In men the urethra can scar, causing it to become narrower, while the prostate gland can also become infected.
