Urethral Syndrome

Urethral syndrome is a set of urinary symptoms—similar to those of a urinary infection—that occur without standard tests showing a bacterial infection to explain them.

Common symptoms: frequent urge to urinate, burning or discomfort when doing so, a feeling of not fully emptying the bladder, and, at times, discomfort in the lower abdomen.

When should you see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when these symptoms are repeated or persistent despite previous treatments for infections that do not fully resolve the problem.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the professional suited to study the urinary tract and guide the cause of the symptoms. If urinary symptoms come back again and again, the most sensible thing is to have this specialist review your case in depth.
