Inflammation of the urethra causes a pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic flora. Therefore, antibiotics for urethritis are an integral part of the treatment. It is not always possible to identify a particular pathogen. It is also difficult to determine its sensitivity to antibiotics. Such a study usually lasts about 7-10 days. And with active inflammation, when the symptoms of the disease are pronounced, you need to act faster. Therefore, often for the treatment of urethritis, women are prescribed antibiotics acting on a large range of bacteria. In addition, there is a list of microorganisms that most often cause infections of the urinary system. This criterion determines the choice of an antibacterial drug.
