Urethritis is the inflammation of the urethra. The most common symptoms include painful or difficult urination and urethral discharge.[1] It is a commonly treatable condition usually caused by infection with bacteria.[2] This bacterial infection is often sexually transmitted, but not in every instance; it can be idiopathic, for example.[3] Some incidence of urethritis can appear asymptomatic as well.[4]
