Urethritis :
The urethra is the tube that is connected to the bladder through which urine exits the body. When the urethra becomes swollen and irritated, it is said that the individual has urethritis. It is a common symptom of sexually transmitted infections. However, it can also develop due to exposure to certain irritants, yeast infections or urinary tract infections.
The symptoms of urethritis include pain during urination, itching at the tip of the urethra and pain in the pelvis. An affected individual may also experience an unusual discharge from the urethra, such as pus or blood. The diagnosis of this condition involves a physical exam, followed by blood and urine tests. A lab test of the discharge may also be required. The treatment of urethritis involves antibiotic medication. The condition is usually cured completely when the patient takes all the medicine as prescribed.
