Medical therapy
A variety of drugs may be prescribed based on the cause of the patient's urethritis. Some examples of medications based on causes include:
- Clotrimazole (Mycelex) - Trichomonas
- Doxycycline (Vibramycin) - Chlamydia
- Fluconazole (Diflucan) - Monilial
- Metronidazole (Flagyl) - Trichomonas
- Nitrofurantoin - Bacterial Infection
- Nystatin (Mycostatin) - Monilial
- Co-trimoxazole, which is a combination of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim in a ratio of 5 to 1 (Septrin, Bactrim) - Bacterial Infection
Proper perineal hygiene should be stressed. This includes avoiding use of vaginal deodarant sprays and proper wiping after urination and bowel movements. Intercourse should be avoided until symptoms subside.
