Chronic urethritis is inflammation of the tube that delivers urine from your bladder to the outside. This tube may be irritated by chemicals such as bubble bath or spermicides. Bruising from intercourse may also cause it. More often, it is caused by an infection with Chlamydia. Determining the cause of your incontinence is important.
Treatment depends on the cause of the problem.
Taking drugs to treat infections results in a quick decrease in symptoms. Pelvic muscle exercises can provide steady improvement in those with mild urine loss. Losing weight helps decrease pressure on the bladder. A combination of these treatments may be required. Sometimes drugs to relax, or reduce the nervous stimulation of the bladder are needed.
