Urethritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Urethritis is the inflammation of the urethra, the duct through which urine exits the body. It can be due to infections or to irritating factors, and it affects both men and women.
Usual complaints:
- Burning or pain when urinating
- Frequent need to urinate
- Discharge or irritation in the area
Common causes: it is frequently associated with infections, including some sexually transmitted ones, and in other cases with local irritation.
When should you seek care? If the burning when urinating persists or is accompanied by discharge, it's reasonable to consult rather than wait for it to pass on its own.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the appropriate professional to study urinary complaints and provide guidance on their source. Seeing a professional in time makes it easier to clarify the cause and care for urinary health.
