Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Symptoms of urethritis include urethral tingling and itching or a burning sensation on urination (dysuria), frequency, and urgency. The individual may note a purulent or clear mucus-like discharge from the urethra. Nucleic acid detection amplification tests allow easy detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis in first-void urine. Treatment consists of appropriate antibiotic therapy for infectious urethritis and an avoidance of future chemical or mechanical irritation. A first-void urine is collected for diagnostic purposes.
