Chronic urethritis
Alternative names:
urethral syndrome
Prevention:
Maintaining a good water intake may help. Women with intercourse-related urinary tract infections (symptoms occur within 24 hours after intercourse) should urinate after having intercourse. Good hygiene practices for the individual and sexual partner are important. Safer sex behaviors can decrease the risk of developing STD (sexually-transmitted diseases) related to urethritis. Seeking help from an appropriate health care provider as soon as symptoms appear is important in preventing structural damage caused by scarring of persistently inflamed tissue.
