DESCRIPTION
Urethritis is the inflammation or infection of the urethra (the tube through which urine travels from the bladder to the outside). Urethritis is frequently accompanied by bladder infection or inflammation (cystitis). It can affect all ages and both sexes, but it is 10 times more common in females than in males.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of the urinary tract. Most UTIs originate in the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. UTIs are rarely serious when they affect otherwise healthy adults, but they can result in serious problems if not treated quickly. They can also cause complications in people with underlying health problems.
FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
Painful or burning sensation during urination. Pain in the abdomen and pelvic area. The pain can be severe.
Discharge that may be cloudy, yellow-green mucus, or may be watery and white. Foul-smelling urine. Blood in the urine.
Frequent urge to urinate, even when there is not much urine in the bladder. Leaking or passing small amounts of urine.
Low back pain.
Fever and chills.
CAUSES
UTIs are usually caused by bacteria from the digestive tract or rectum that begin to grow in the urethra and begin to multiply. From there the bacteria can travel to the bladder, resulting in a bladder infection, and if they are not expelled from the body, can continue up the ureters and infect the kidneys. UTIs affect women more often than men and the bacteria can be spread by sexual contact.
The same bacterial infection that causes gonorrhea causes gonococcal urethritis. Non-specific urethritis (also called non gonococcal urethritis) can be caused by a variety of organisms, including bacteria, yeast, and Chlamydia.
Other causes could be trauma from an injury or surgery, or from a chemical such as an antiseptic.
Bubble bath or bath oils have been known to cause urethritis.
RISK INCREASES WITH
Bacterial infection that spreads and enters the urethra from the skin around the genitals and anal area.
Bruising during sexual intercourse.
Contact with an infected sexual partner.
Use of a urinary catheter.
Use of drugs to which bacteria-causing infection have become resistant.
Multiple sexual partners.
Previous history of kidney stones, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, enlarged prostate or genital injury.
A previous sexually transmitted disease (STD).
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Drink plenty of fluids (8 glasses of water a day).
Urinate when you need to do so. Do not hold it for extended periods of time.
After bowel movements, wipe from front to back and wash with soap and water. Wash genitals thoroughly.
Take showers rather than tub baths.
Women should avoid douches, feminine hygiene products with deodorants and feminine hygiene sprays. Douches can change the natural pH and wash away the vaginal "good" bacterial flora allowing the "bad" bacteria a chance to grow. Douche only when medically needed and recommended by your health care provider or midwife.
For causes related to sexual activity:
- Drink a glass of water before sexual intercourse, and urinate within 15 minutes after sexual intercourse.
- Use a latex condom.
- Use a water-soluble lubricant, e.g., K-Y Lubricating Jelly.
- Use varying sexual positions to decrease the chance of trauma to the female urethra.
EXPECTED OUTCOME
Urethritis is usually "low-grade" and seldom producing serious, long-term illness. Recurrence is common.
POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS
Chronic urethritis and cystitis, if treatment is inadequate.
Spread of infection to bladder, ureters and kidneys.
TREATMENT
GENERAL MEASURES
Diagnostic tests may include a urinalysis, urine culture, discharge and blood studies by your midwife or health care provider. You will be advised by your health care provider on how to collect a clean, midstream urine sample.
Home treatment is usually sufficient and involves medications for you and your sexual partner.
To relieve pain, take sitz baths by sitting in a tub of hot water for 15 minutes at least twice a day.
Keep the area around the genitals clean. Use unscented, plain soap.
MEDICATION
Antibiotics to fight infection. Be sure to finish the prescribed dose, even if symptoms subside sooner.
In cases of severe pain, medications (phenazopyridine [Pyridium]} may be prescribed that decreases urethral spasm (cause of pain) until the antibiotic therapy controls the infection. Pyridium produces bright orange (tea) colored urine.
ACTIVITY
No restrictions.
Avoid sexual intercourse when symptoms are present and until you have been free of symptoms for 2 weeks.
DIET
No special diet after treatment, but eat a well-balanced diet.
Drink plenty of fluids (at least 8 glasses of water daily).
Drinking unsweetened pure cranberry juice will help to acidify urine, inhibiting bacterial growth. Some drugs will be more effective in an acidic urine. Cranberry can help prevent urinary tract infections.

Silver is a natural bacteria fighter. Colloidal Silver is a powerful disinfectant and healing agent that can be used for many applications. Colloidal mineral particles are between .001 and .01 microns in diameter and are suspended in pure water. In a concentrated form, Colloidal Silver is 99.9 percent pure silver particles. The colloidal particles are so small that when they are mixed with distilled water, the silver remains suspended. It then may be taken internally by the mouth, applied topically as a spray, or may be mixed with other healing agents to form a lotion or salve for other topical applications. Silver functions as a healing agent that works as a catalyst to disable the enzyme that many bacteria, fungi, and viruses use for their metabolism. Silver has been used in a colloidal form since the early 1900's for its natural antibiotic like characteristics. Unlike many antibiotics, silver helps kill only the bacteria that is anaerobic. Friendly bacteria in the digestive tract and in other areas of the body that are aerobic are not affected. Silver Biotics was tested by researchers and was found to kill every strain of bacteria that it was tested against and that these bacteria, many of which have become resistant to antibiotics, cause many human ailments.
