Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra, or the tube that carries urine. It shows various symptoms such as pain while urinating and an increased urge to urinate. Additionally, burning sensation while urinating, presence of blood in the semen or urine, frequent urge and discomfort while urinating, abnormal discharge from the vagina or penis, etc. are other common symptoms. Other serious manifestation of urethritis include damage to the reproductive system, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can result in infertility, and others. The primary cause of urethritis is usually infection by bacteria, while viral infection for pre-existing sexually transmitted diseases being the secondary cause. Urethritis is also caused by mechanical or chemical damage to the urethra during treatment or catheterization. Urethritis should not be confused with urinary tract infection (UTI). Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra, while a UTI is an infection of the urinary tract and both may have similar symptoms, but often require different treatment.
Urethritis Market size is expected to reach USD 18.0 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of ~ 8.0 % during the forecast period 2019-2023.
Females have a greater chance of developing urethritis than males because of the nearness of urethra to the anus, which increases the chance of microbial infection. Also men’s urethras is much longer than women’s. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), causative organisms associated with urethritis include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Human papillomavirus (HPV), Herpes simplex virus (HSV), and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and others. According to Antimicrobe, Nongonococcal bacteria caused urethritis in approximately 4 million Americans in 2015 accounting for 80% of the cases. According to Department of Health, U.K., urethritis accounts for 0.005% of hospital consulting with a high 97% of hospital consulting for urethritis requiring hospital admission. Almost 20% of hospital admissions for urethritis requires an emergency.
Rising demand for the treatment due to growing population, increasing screening, rising number of geriatrics, rising safety and success of drug treatment, the extricating nature of the pain, and others are driving the growth of the market. However, complications of treatment such as side effects, emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, cost of urethritis treatment, and others may hamper the urethritis treatment market growth.
