Urethritis Treatments

Treatment

Urethritis is usually treated with medication. The type of medication will depend on the cause of the urethral infection:

Antibiotics—to treat urethritis caused by bacteria
Antiviral drugs—to treat urethritis caused by a virus

If urethritis is caused by an STD, all sexual partners should be tested and treated.
