Urethritis in Men Symptoms

Burning and pain when urinating are classic symptoms of urethritis. You may also feel the urge to urinate more often or actually will urinate more often. You could feel itching, tenderness, or swelling in your penis, pain with sexual intercourse, or find blood in your urine or semen.

• Some infections also may be associated with discharge from your penis. Painful ulcers on the genitals can be present with herpes urethritis, another sexually transmitted disease.

• Simple urethritis does not cause fever or severe illness. If the disease spreads to other organs in your genitals or urinary tract or through the blood, however, it may result in the following:

• Back pain

• Abdominal pain

• High fevers

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Swollen joints and other symptoms of disease throughout the body
