Urethrosis

Urethrosis is a medical term used to describe a condition in which the urethra becomes inflamed, swollen, or irritated. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Urethrosis can be caused by a variety of factors such as infection, trauma, or other medical conditions such as diabetes. Symptoms of urethrosis include burning or stinging sensation when urinating, increased frequency of urination, and pain in the lower abdomen. Treatment for urethrosis typically involves antibiotics to treat any bacterial infection, anti-inflammatory medications to reduce inflammation, and other medications to treat any underlying conditions. In some cases, a catheter may be inserted to drain the bladder. Surgery may be needed if the urethrosis is caused by a structural issue.
