Itching in the urethra and pain at the urethral opening can usually be treated with medication. When these symptoms occur, it is important to first increase fluid intake, which helps increase urine output, reduce urine concentration, and thereby alleviate irritation of the urethra. These symptoms are primarily associated with unhygienic sexual practices, poor hygiene during menstruation, and weakened personal immunity. It is recommended to promptly perform a urinalysis. If the condition is caused by infections such as Mycoplasma or Chlamydia, medications like azithromycin or doxycycline may be prescribed for treatment.
