Urethritis is a common disease, which can be divided into acute and chronic types in clinical diagnosis. It is more common in women, with the most common pathogens being Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus. Urethritis is often caused by intestinal obstruction at the urethral orifice or within the urethra, such as phimosis, posterior urethral valves, urethral stricture, or urethral stones and tumors. It can also be caused by inflammation spreading from adjacent organs to the urethra, such as prostatitis, vaginitis, and cervicitis. At times, urethritis may be triggered by mechanical or chemical irritation, such as during medical examinations or the use of indwelling catheters.
