what-we-treat CCC sexual-health CCC urethritis CCC causes ** ** ## What are the causes of urethritis? There are a number of possible causes of urethritis. Finding out what’s causing your symptoms is vital in order to ensure you get the correct [treatment](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/sexual-health/urethritis/treatment) and can recover as quickly as possible. Here are some of the most common causes of urethritis. ** ** ## Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) STIs are one of the main causes of urethritis. They are contracted through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex. They are more likely to cause urethritis among people who are sexually active, particularly those who have recently begun a relationship with a new partner. If this is the case for you, part of your diagnosis may involve taking tests to confirm or rule out certain STIs. Common causes of urethritis that are linked to STIs include: - **Gonococcal urethritis** - This is caused by the same bacteria that cause gonorrhoea, and accounts for around 20% of urethritis cases. - **Chlamydia** - Not all infections that cause urethritis are sexually transmitted, but the [chlamydia](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/sexual-health/chlamydia) trachomatis bacteria responsible for chlamydia is another common cause. - **Parasitic infection** - Urethritis can be caused by parasites such as trichomonas vaginalis, which is passed on during unprotected vaginal sex. ** ** ## Non-sexual infections While STIs are a common cause of urethritis, it’s important not to jump to conclusions. There are many other infections that may cause symptoms, including: - **[Urinary tract infection](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/sexual-health/urinary-tract-infection-uti) (UTI) **- UTIs have a number of possible causes, including kidney stones, not fully emptying your bladder, having a catheter inserted, or a weak immune system. They are also more common in pregnant women. - **[Herpes ](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/sexual-health/genital-herpes)**- The herpes simplex virus is responsible for cold sores, and occasionally STIs too. - **Adenovirus **- These are normally responsible for common viruses like colds and flu, but can also cause urethritis. For women, wiping your bottom from back to front, rather than front to back, also allows bacteria to get into the urethra. ** ** ## Other causes If an infection isn’t to blame, urethritis is often caused by one of the following issues: **Damage to the urethra** The urethra could become damaged by: - An injury caused during sex or masturbation - Squeezing the urethra (men only) - Inserting or removing a catheter **Irritation of the urethra** The urethra may become irritated if you use: - Soaps - Deodorants - Spermicidal lubricant However, for some people, urethritis may not have an obvious cause. This is known as non-specific urethritis (NSU). In this case, all the doctor can do is treat the symptoms and recommend that you monitor the situation, so that a cause can be identified if it happens again. Once the cause of your urethritis has been identified, our doctors can prescribe the most effective treatment. ** ** ## When is it safe to have sex again? You should avoid any form of sexual contacted (even if you use a condom) until you and your partner have had **follow-up tests** to confirm that the gonorrhoea infection is completely gone. These follow-up tests are usually given 1-2 weeks after you’ve had treatment. You’ll both be tested again to see if any gonorrhoea bacteria is still present. Remember that successful treatment does not mean you can’t get gonorrhoea again, so you should continue to practise safer sex afterwards. ** ** ## Gonorrhoea symptoms in the throat If you have unprotected oral sex, you can get a gonorrhoea infection in your throat. However, this rarely produces any symptoms, with 90% of people not aware that they have an infection. A sore throat is the only real sign, and of course this is quite a common symptom that can easily be dismissed as something that will go away on its own. Despite this, it’s still important to get tested in order to avoid any potential health complications. ### **NHS - trained and registered doctors Every one of our doctors is registered with the General Medical Council and can be found on the NHS National Performers List, so you know you are only ever receiving the best possible care and advice. They are experienced in treating a wide range of conditions, and can help with almost everything your regular GP could in a physical surgery. You can meet some of our doctors [here](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/meet-our-doctors). Push Doctor also has an in-house Medical team, who support our doctors day in, day out, and enable our doctors to do what they do best. They are also responsible for the ongoing training and development of doctors on our platform. ** ### **CQC regulated The [Care Quality Commission (CQC)](https://www.cqc.org.uk/) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. They are the foremost authority in our industry, assessing health providers' ability to provide people with safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality care – be they offline or online doctors. Push Doctor is registered with the CQC under the name 'Push Dr Limited', with the registration number [1-5345986073](https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-5345986073). Our most recent inspection took place in May 2019, concluding that the service we provide is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led – gaining a 'Good' rating overall. You can read the report in full on [our CQC profile](https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-5345986073). ** ### **Same day prescriptions Our NHS-trained GPs can, if appropriate, issue prescriptions online following a consultation. Once your consultation is complete, our team will search for the closest pharmacy to you which has your medication available. We'll then send you a text when your prescription is ready to collect. To collect your medication, simply hear to the nominated pharmacy to collect and pay for your prescription. You will need to take a valid form of ID to show the pharmacist when you arrive. This process is almost always done within the same day of your consultation. ** ### **Instant fit (sick) notes Our GPs can send a sick/fit note directly to you if necessary following an online consultation. These can be sent directly by email or first-class post. Fit notes include recommendations about how and when you'll be able to return to work or education, or whether you're able to return to work with amended duties (e.g no heavy lifting or reduced hours). They can also contain detailed advice about managing your medical issue in the workplace. ** ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "WebPage", "description" : "Urethritis has many possible causes, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), urinary tract infections (UTIs), viruses, physical damage and irritation.
