Question
Hello doctor,
I'm male, 28 years old this year. The current condition is urethritis, the urethra is itchy, sometimes painful, uncomfortable, but the urine is still clear and there is no fluid as well as pus. The situation lasted for more than a month, but due to the epidemic situation, I did not have the conditions to visit the doctor, I only had a monogamous relationship. So the doctor asked me how to treat urethritis causing itching, painful urination? Thank you doctor.

Hi friends,
With the question “How to treat urethritis causing itching, painful urination? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Urethritis is usually caused by bacteria that cause sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, .... The disease often manifests only itching and discomfort in the urethra without any fluid or pus in the urethra. To confirm the diagnosis, it is necessary to take a urethral discharge to look for bacteria that cause the disease.
In case you have urethritis causing itching, urination, discomfort, you should go to the doctor, do a diagnostic test of the urethral discharge from which to have appropriate treatment. Note that when treating this disease, it is necessary to treat both husband and wife and especially you should not arbitrarily use antibiotics because it can increase the risk of bacterial drug resistance.
If you still have questions about urethritis causing itching, painful urination, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
