Common questions about Urethritis

Yes, urethritis can often be diagnosed and treated through an online consultation. A healthcare provider can assess your symptoms and medical history to determine the best treatment plan. If needed, they may recommend lab tests to confirm the cause before prescribing antibiotics or other medications.

Urethritis can be caused by bacterial infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea, or non-infectious factors such as irritation from soaps, chemicals, or urinary tract issues. A telehealth consultation can help determine the likely cause and appropriate treatment.

Common symptoms of urethritis include pain or burning during urination, frequent urge to urinate, discomfort in the lower abdomen, and, in some cases, discharge from the urethra. If you experience these symptoms, an online consultation can help determine the next steps for diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment depends on the cause. If bacterial, antibiotics are typically prescribed. If caused by irritation, avoiding potential triggers and using soothing treatments may help. A telehealth provider can recommend the appropriate treatment based on your symptoms and medical history.

Urethritis caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be contagious. If an infection is suspected, it is important to avoid sexual contact until treatment is complete. A healthcare provider can provide guidance on managing symptoms and preventing transmission.

If you experience persistent symptoms, severe pain, fever, or symptoms that do not improve with initial treatment, it is important to seek medical advice. A telehealth consultation can provide guidance and, if necessary, recommend further testing.

Mild cases of non-infectious urethritis may resolve on their own if the irritant is removed, but bacterial urethritis typically requires treatment with antibiotics. It is best to consult a healthcare provider to ensure proper care and prevent complications.

Practicing safe sex, staying hydrated, maintaining good hygiene, and avoiding irritants like harsh soaps can help prevent urethritis. If you have recurrent symptoms, an online consultation can help identify potential causes and preventive measures.
