Urethritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the urethra, often caused by infectious agents. Common causes include sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Trichomonas: A parasitic infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, known to cause symptoms associated with urethritis.
- H.ducreyi: This bacterium is the causative agent of chancroid, an STI characterized by painful ulcers, but it does not typically cause urethritis.
- Chlamydia: Chlamydia trachomatis is a common bacterial cause of urethritis, often leading to the need for medical evaluation and treatment.
- Gonococcus: Caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, this infection is a well-known cause of urethritis.
Among the options, H.ducreyi is not directly involved in causing urethritis, as it is more associated with chancroid.
