What is the treatment for non-specific urethritis?
Non-specific urethritis is treated with antibiotics. • If the test shows that inflammation is present, or if there is a high chance that you have an infection, you will be given treatment even if the cause is not yet known. • There are several different antibiotics that can be used, either as a single dose or a longer course (up to two weeks). • Some men may get non-specific urethritis more than once, and for a few men it may become persistent (keep coming back). If this happens, you may be given a second course, or a combination, of antibiotics. • You may also need other treatment if complications have occurred or the cause of the inflammation becomes known. • There is no evidence that complementary therapies can cure non-specific urethritis.
