Chlamydial Urethritis in Men

Male urethritis caused by chlamydia is an inflammation of the urethra caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, a common sexually transmitted infection.

Common symptoms: It can cause burning during urination, discharge, or discomfort in the urethra, though in many cases it occurs without obvious symptoms, which makes it easier to spread.

When to see a doctor? With persistent urinary discomfort or discharge, as well as after a possible exposure, a timely evaluation is important; it's also recommended to inform your sexual partner.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the infectious disease specialist are the appropriate professionals, and for the partner the gynecologist may be involved. A timely appointment allows the diagnosis to be confirmed and complications prevented.
