Where is it better to treat urethritis?

Patient's question:

Lately, I've been experiencing a stinging sensation during urination, and my urethral opening is also itchy and painful. Where would be the best place to get treatment for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, urethritis is caused by the infection of pathogens due to poor hygiene. It can be classified as upper urinary tract infection or lower urinary tract infection.
If accompanied by urgency, dysuria, and high fever, it may be an upper urinary tract infection. Oral antibiotic treatment may be ineffective, and intravenous antibiotics should be administered for two weeks. If only frequent urination occurs, it may be a lower urinary tract infection, and antibiotic treatment for one week may be sufficient. Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently.
