Symptoms of urethritis include pain. The main symptom of urethritis is irritation and pain during urination, accompanied by urethral discharge. Urethritis is a common urinary tract infection, primarily caused by bacteria entering the urethra. After urethritis, secretions in the urethra may decrease, but itching and a sensation similar to ants crawling may occur. For acute urethritis, antibiotics combined with chemotherapy can be used for treatment.
