Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra. The symptoms are dysuria, which is pain (usually burning pain) on urination (micturition) and frequency.
Diagnosis
A swab inserted 1–4cm into the urethra and rotated once. The swab is smeared onto a glass slide and examined under the microscope. A commonly used cut-off for the diagnosis of urethritis is 5 or more polymorphs per high power field, but this definition has recently been called into doubt.
Tests of gonorrhoea and chlamydia are sent on the swab.
